Further Information
Summary: The notion of a linearly invariant family of mappings of a ball in \(\mathbb C^m\) was introduced in the article [\textit{J.~A.~Pfaltzgraff}, Complex Variables, Theory Appl. 33, No. 1-4, 239-253 (1997; Zbl 0912.32017)]. It generalizes the classical case \(m=1\) studied previously by Ch.~Pommerenke and other authors. In the above-mentioned article, J.~A.~Pfaltzgraff obtained and used a false equality, (5.3). Moreover, this equality was used in some other papers, for example, [\textit{J.~A.~Pfaltzgraff} and \textit{T.~J.~Suffridge}, Ann. Univ. Mariae Curie-Sklodowska, Sect. A 53, 193-207 (1999; Zbl 0996.32006)]. We propose the dimension reduction method which makes it possible to obtain correct proofs for the theorems of the above-mentioned papers in which equality (5.3) was originally used. We also obtain new results on linearly invariant families of mappings of a ball. The idea of the method proposed is simple and consists in reducing a problem posed for linearly invariant families in \(\mathbb C^m\) to a problem for the classical case of a disk \((m=1)\).
