Koenigs-Poincaré Theorem


The Koenigs-Poincaré theorem is a local linearization theorem for holomorphic maps near a fixed point. Let G be the group, under composition, of germs at 0 of locally invertible holomorphic functions fixing 0. Two functions define the same germ if they agree on some neighborhood of 0. For a nonzero complex number lambda, set

 G_lambda={f in G:f^'(0)=lambda}.

The theorem states that if |lambda|!=1, then every f in G_lambda admits a locally invertible holomorphic function h defining a coordinate transformation, with h(0)=0 and h^'(0)=1, such that

 h^(-1)(f(h(z)))=lambdaz.

Thus G_lambda is a conjugacy class in G (Marmi 2000, pp. 3, 5, 7).
