Abstract
We study the asymptotic behavior of parabolic type semigroups acting on the unit disk as well as those acting on the right half-plane. We use the asymptotic behavior to investigate the local geometry of the semigroup trajectories near the boundary Denjoy–Wolff point. The geometric content includes, in particular, the asymptotes to trajectories, the so-called limit curvature, the order of contact, and so on. We then establish asymptotic rigidity properties for a broad class of semigroups of parabolic type.

Appendix
Appendix
We complete our analysis with assertions which give more information about the asymptotic behavior of semigroups but are different in nature.
Proposition 5.1
Let \(\Sigma =\{\Phi _{t}\}_{t\ge 0}\subset \hbox {Hol}(\Pi )\) be a semigroup generated by \(\phi \in \mathcal {G}_{\alpha ,\beta }(\Pi )\). Then
Proof
We just calculate the limit:
Since
we conclude that
which completes the proof. \(\square \)
The particular case \(\alpha =\beta =1\) is contained in [10, Theorem 4.1(ii)]. Transferring, as above, Proposition 5.1 to semigroups acting in \(\Delta \) yields the following result.
Corollary 5.1
Let \(S=\left\{ F_t\right\} _{t\ge 0}\) be a semigroup of holomorphic self-mappings of \(\Delta \) generated by \(f \in \mathcal {G}_{\alpha ,\beta }(\Delta )\). Then
