Abstract

Suppose ff and gg are two post-critically finite polynomials of degree d1d_1 and d2d_2 respectively and suppose both of them have a finite super-attracting fixed point of degree d0d_0. We prove that one can always construct a rational map RR of degree D=d1+d2d0D = d_1 + d_2 - d_0 by gluing ff and gg along the Jordan curve boundaries of the immediate super-attracting basins. The result can be used to construct many rational maps with interesting dynamics.
