Abstract

Let σ3:SS\sigma_3:\mathbb{S}\to \mathbb{S} be the tripling map of the unit circle. For sequences {Li}\{\mathcal{L}_i\} of σ3\sigma_3-invariant dendritic laminations we study limits (c,d)(\overline{c}, \overline{d}) of their critical portraits assuming that one such limit P=(c,d)\mathcal{P}=(\overline{c}_\circ, \overline{d}_\circ) is given. If the endpoints of c\overline{c}_\circ and d\overline{d}_\circ are non-periodic, then there is a unique lamination L\mathcal{L} with finite critical sets such that c\overline{c} and d\overline{d} can be any couple of critical chords compatible with L\mathcal{L}. As the extreme opposite case we consider P=(013,023)\mathcal{P}=(\overline{0 \frac13}, \overline{0 \frac23}) and describe the corresponding countable closed family of possible critical portraits (c,d)(\overline{c}, \overline{d}) and the distinct laminations corresponding to them. These results can be useful for the construction of a model for the cubic connectedness locus.
