Abstract

We show recurrent phenomena for orbits of groups of local complex analytic diffeomorphisms that have a certain subgroup or image by a morphism of groups that is non-virtually solvable. In particular we prove that a non-virtually solvable subgroup of local biholomorphisms has always recurrent orbits, i.e. there exists an orbit contained in its set of limit points.
