Abstract
Letf andg be nonlinear entire functions. The relations between the dynamics off⊗g andg⊗f are discussed. Denote byℐ (·) andF(·) the Julia and Fatou sets. It is proved that ifz∈C, thenz∈ℐ8464 (f⊗g) if and only ifg(z)∈ℐ8464 (g⊗f); ifU is a component ofF(f○g) andV is the component ofF(g○g) that containsg(U), thenU is wandering if and only ifV is wandering; ifU is periodic, then so isV and moreover,V is of the same type according to the classification of periodic components asU. These results are used to show that certain new classes of entire functions do not have wandering domains.
