ABSTRACT

A classical result due to H. Cartan states that if a sequence (hn)  of holomorphic automorphisms of the unit disk D  of C  is pointwise convergent on D  to a limit h  and (hn(0))  is bounded away from the boundary @(D)  , then h  is a holomorphic automorphism of D  . The analogous result for the open unit ball D  of a complex Banach space E  is not true in general. Here we consider pointwise convergent nets (hi)  of holomorphic automorphisms of the unit balls of those Banach spaces known as special Cartan factors and establish a sufficient condition for the pointwise limit h= limi hi  to be a holomorphic automorphism of D  .
