Abstract
We study nonlinear semigroups of holomorphic mappings in Banach spaces and their infinitesimal generators. Using resolvents, we characterize, in particular, bounded holomorphic generators on bounded convex domains and obtain an analog of the Hille exponential formula. We then apply our results to the null point theory of semi-plus complete vector fields. We study the structure of null point sets and the spectral characteristics of null points, as well as their existence and uniqueness. A global version of the implicit function theorem and a discussion of some open problems are also included.
