Abstract

In 1994 S. Bullett and C. Penrose introduced the one complex parameter family of (2:2)(2:2) holomorphic correspondences Fa\mathcal{F}_a: (aw1w1)2+(aw1w1)(az+1z+1)+(az+1z+1)2=3\left(\frac{aw-1}{w-1}\right)^2+\left(\frac{aw-1}{w-1}\right)\left(\frac{az+1}{z+1}\right) +\left(\frac{az+1}{z+1}\right)^2=3 and proved that for every value of a[4,7]Ra \in [4,7] \subset \mathbb{R} the correspondence Fa\mathcal{F}_a is a mating between a quadratic polynomial Qc(z)=z2+c,cRQ_c(z)=z^2+c,\,\,c \in \mathbb{R} and the modular group Γ=PSL(2,Z)\Gamma=PSL(2,\mathbb{Z}). They conjectured that this is the case for every member of the family Fa\mathcal{F}_a which has aa in the connectedness locus. We prove here that every member of the family Fa\mathcal{F}_a which has aa in the connectedness locus is a mating between the modular group and an element of the parabolic quadratic family Per1(1)Per_1(1).
