Improved convergence estimates for the Schröder-Siegel problem

We reconsider the Schröder–Siegel problem of conjugating an analytic map in ℂ in the neighborhood of a fixed point to its linear part, extending it to the case of dimension n>1 . Assuming a condition which is equivalent to Bruno’s one on the eigenvalues λ1,…,λn of the linear part, we show that the convergence radius ρ of the conjugating transformation satisfies lnρ(λ)≥−CΓ(λ)+C′ with Γ(λ) characterizing the eigenvalues λ , a constant C′ not depending on λ and C=1 . This improves the previous results for n>1 , where the known proofs give C=2 . We also recall that C=1 is known to be the optimal value for n=1 .
