CONTRACTIVE CURVES ARACELI BONIFANT and MARIUS DABIJA Received 6 February 2001 and in revised form 31 August 2001 We discuss the dynamics of the correspondences associated to those plane curves whose local sections contract the Poincaré metric in a hyperbolic planar domain. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 37F05, 37F15, 30C80. 1. Introduction. We consider certain 1-dimensional, holomorphic correspondences of hyperbolic type, which we call “contractive curves.” These are curves whose local sections contract the Poincaré metric of a hyperbolic planar domain. The model for our analysis is given by the hyperbolic Julia sets. This work has been motivated by the work in Ochs’ recent paper [ 5]. In the first part, we adapt to our purposes the Schwarz lemma for correspondences that appears in Minda’s paper [3]. In the second part, we discuss the dynamics of a contractive curve, and the properties of the associated attractor. Such curves usually do not have global sections that contract the hyperbolic metric. Nevertheless, the associated dynamical systems have much in common with the iterated function systems of hyperbolic type. The basis for our discussion is the paper [2] by Barnsley and Demko. 2. Preliminaries 2.1. Hyperbolic metric. The hyperbolic metric (infinitesimal length-element) on 2 the unit disk ∆ = {|z | 1} ⊂ C is ds∆ (z) = (2/(1 −|z | ))|dz |. Let U ⊂ C be a planar domain (open and connected subset of C), and assume that the complement C \ U contains at least two points, so that U is a hyperbolic Riemann surface; the universal covering of U is (biholomorphic to) ∆. The density ρU of the hyperbolic metric in U, dsU (z) = ρU (z
