Complex rotation numbers: bubbles and their intersections

Dynamical Systems 2018-06-06 v1

Abstract

The construction of complex rotation numbers, due to V.Arnold, gives rise to a fractal-like set "bubbles" related to a circle diffeomorphism. "Bubbles" is a complex analogue to Arnold tongues. This article contains a survey of the known properties of bubbles, as well as a variety of open questions. In particular, we show that bubbles can intersect and self-intersect, and provide approximate pictures of bubbles for perturbations of M\"obius circle diffeomorphisms.
