On the size of linearization domains

Assume $f{:}\,U\subset \C\to \C$ is a holomorphic map fixing 0 with derivative λ, where 0 < |λ| ≤ 1. If λ is not a root of unity, there is a formal power series φf(z) = z + ${\cal O}$(z2) such that φf(λ z) = f(φf(z)). This power series is unique and we denote by Rconv(f) ∈ [0,+∞] its radius of convergence. We denote by Rgeom(f) the largest radius r ∈ [0, Rconv(f)] such that φf(D(0,r)) ⊂ U. In this paper, we present new elementary techniques for studying the maps f ↦ Rconv(f) and f ↦ Rgeom(f). Contrary to previous approaches, our techniques do not involve studying the arithmetical properties of rotation numbers.
