Abstract

Thurston introduced \sid\si_d-invariant laminations (where \sid(z)\si_d(z) coincides with zd:\ucirc\ucircz^d:\ucirc\to \ucirc, d2d\ge 2) and defined \emph{wandering kk-gons} as sets \T\ucirc\T\subset \ucirc such that \sidn(\T)\si_d^n(\T) consists of k3k\ge 3 distinct points for all n0n\ge 0 and the convex hulls of all the sets \sidn(\T)\si_d^n(\T) in the plane are pairwise disjoint. He proved that \si2\si_2 has no wandering kk-gons. Call a lamination with wandering kk-gons a \emph{WT-lamination}. In a recent paper it was shown that uncountably many cubic WT-laminations, with pairwise non-conjugate induced maps on the corresponding quotient spaces JJ, are realizable as cubic polynomials on their (locally connected) Julia sets. In the present paper we use a new approach to construct cubic WT-laminations with all of the above properties and the extra property that the corresponding wandering branch point of JJ has a dense orbit in each subarc of JJ (we call such orbits \emph{condense}), and to show that critical portraits corresponding to such laminations are uncountably dense in the space \A3\A_3 of all cubic critical portraits.
