Abstract

We prove a priori bounds for Feigenbaum quadratic polynomials, i.e., infinitely renormalizable polynomials fc:zz2+cf_c: z\mapsto z^2+c of bounded type. It implies local connectivity of the corresponding Julia sets J(fc)J(f_c) and MLC (local connectivity of the Mandelbrot set) at the corresponding parameters cc. It also yields the scaling Universality, dynamical and parameter, for the corresponding combinatorics. The MLC Conjecture was open for the most classical period-doubling Feigenbaum parameter as well as for the complex tripling renormalizations. Universality for the latter was conjectured by Goldberg-Khanin-Sinai in the early 1980s.
