Abstract

We prove some new continuity results for the Julia sets JJ and J+J^{+} of the complex H\'enon map Hc,a(x,y)=(x2+c+ay,ax)H_{c,a}(x,y)=(x^{2}+c+ay, ax), where aa and cc are complex parameters. We look at the parameter space of dissipative H\'enon maps which have a fixed point with one eigenvalue (1+t)λ(1+t)\lambda, where λ\lambda is a root of unity and tt is real and small in absolute value. These maps have a semi-parabolic fixed point when tt is 00, and we use the techniques that we have developed in [RT] for the semi-parabolic case to describe nearby perturbations. We show that for small nonzero t|t|, the H\'enon map is hyperbolic and has connected Julia set. We prove that the Julia sets JJ and J+J^{+} depend continuously on the parameters as t0t\rightarrow 0, which is a two-dimensional analogue of radial convergence from one-dimensional dynamics. Moreover, we prove that this family of H\'enon maps is stable on JJ and J+J^{+} when tt is nonnegative.
