Abstract

We study parabolic renormalization of analytic germs with a simple parabolic point at the origin. We describe a class of maps P\mathbf P which admit a maximal analytic extension to a Jordan domain, and whose covering properties have an explicit topological model. We demonstrate that P\mathbf P is invariant under parabolic renormalization, and that Inou-Shishikura fixed point ff_* lies in P\mathbf P. We conjecture that successive parabolic renormalizations of every map in P\mathbf P converge to ff_* at a geometric rate. We further present a numerical method for computing the Taylor's expansion of ff_* with a high accuracy. Our approach also allows us to compute the images of the maximal domain of analyticity of ff_*. Finally, we obtain numerical estimates on the spectral radius of the differential of the parabolic renormalization operator at ff_*.
