Abstract

Let ff be an arbitrary transcendental entire or meromorphic function in the class S\mathcal S (i.e. with finitely many singularities). We show that the topological pressure P(f,t)P(f,t) for t>0t > 0 can be defined as the common value of the pressures P(f,t,z)P(f,t, z) for all zCz \in \mathbb C up to a set of Hausdorff dimension zero. Moreover, we prove that P(f,t)P(f,t) equals the supremum of the pressures of fXf|_X over all invariant hyperbolic subsets XX of the Julia set, and we prove Bowen's formula for ff, i.e. we show that the Hausdorff dimension of the radial Julia set of ff is equal to the infimum of the set of tt, for which P(f,t)P(f,t) is non-positive. Similar results hold for (non-exceptional) transcendental entire or meromorphic functions ff in the class B\mathcal B (i.e. with bounded set of singularities), for which the closure of the post-singular set does not contain the Julia set.
