Abstract

Consider the parameter space PλC2\mathcal{P}_{\lambda}\subset \mathbb{C}^{2} of complex H\'enon maps Hc,a(x,y)=(x2+c+ay,ax),  a0 H_{c,a}(x,y)=(x^{2}+c+ay,ax),\ \ a\neq 0 which have a semi-parabolic fixed point with one eigenvalue λ=e2πip/q\lambda=e^{2\pi i p/q}. We give a characterization of those H\'enon maps from the curve Pλ\mathcal{P}_{\lambda} that are small perturbations of a quadratic polynomial pp with a parabolic fixed point of multiplier λ\lambda. We prove that there is an open disk of parameters in Pλ\mathcal{P}_{\lambda} for which the semi-parabolic H\'enon map has connected Julia set JJ and is structurally stable on JJ and J+J^{+}. The Julia set J+J^{+} has a nice local description: inside a bidisk Dr×Dr\mathbb{D}_{r}\times \mathbb{D}_{r} it is a trivial fiber bundle over JpJ_{p}, the Julia set of the polynomial pp, with fibers biholomorphic to Dr\mathbb{D}_{r}. The Julia set JJ is homeomorphic to a quotiented solenoid.
