In this paper, we are concerned with the classification problem of proper holomorphic maps between balls in complex spaces. Write Bn={z∈ Cn:| z|< 1} and Prop (Bn, BN) for the collection of all proper holomorphic maps from Bn into BN. We recall that f, g∈ Prop (Bn, BN) are said to be equivalent if there are elements σ∈ Aut (Bn) and τ∈ Aut (BN) such that f= τ◦ g◦ σ. It is a well-known result of Poincaré [Po] and Alexander [Alx] that when N= n> 1, then any f∈ Prop (Bn, Bn) is equivalent to the identity map. For the case of N> n> 1, due to the discovery of inner functions, it is clear that solving the classification problem in Prop (Bn, BN) is unrealistic. Therefore, one focuses on the important subclass of mappings, Rat (Bn, BN), the collection of all rational proper holomorphic mappings fromBn intoBN. And here, there are already many non-trivial and interesting questions ([DA1]).A first result along these lines is due to Webster [We], who showed that Rat (Bn, Bn+ 1) has only one equivalence class for n> 2. This was proven to hold also for Rat (Bn, BN) by Faran [Fa2] in the larger codimensional case: N≤ 2n− 2. For the case N≥ 2n− 1, the collection of all equivalence classes, denoted by R (n, N), of Rat (Bn, BN) carries a real algebraic structure from the work of [Fo1],[BER]. However, the specific description of R (n, N) remains to be quite mysterious in general. In [DA2], D’Angelo discovered a continuous family of mutually inequivalent polynomial proper embeddings from Bn into B2n (see Example 3), which in particular indicates that the set R (n, N) contains infinitely many elements when N≥ 2n. On the other hand, in a paper of Faran [Fa1] in the early 80’s, it was shown that
