Abstract: We prove that transcendental entire functions do not have bounded-orbit wandering domains. This answers a long-standing open question. In fact, we prove a more general theorem, establishing the absence of certain wandering domains even for locally defined analytic functions. The proof is based on a recent remarkable argument of Ye, who obtained an elementary proof of Sullivan's classical theorem that rational maps do not have wandering domains.
