We show that for many complex parameters a, the set of points that converge to infinity under iteration of the exponential map f(z)=e^z+a is connected. This includes all parameters for which the singular value escapes to infinity under…

We investigate the set I(f) of points that converge to infinity under iteration of the map f(z) = e^z-1 and show that it is the disjoint union of countably many rays and uncountable union of infinite sets whose points escape to infinity…

We give a complete classification of the set of parameters $\kappa$ for which the singular value of $E_{\kappa}:z\mapsto \exp(z)+\kappa$ escapes to infinity under iteration. In particular, we show that every path-connected component of this…

We develop an abstract model for the dynamics of an exponential map $z\mapsto \exp(z)+\kappa$ on its set of escaping points and, as an analog of Boettcher's theorem for polynomials, show that every exponential map is conjugate, on a…

The escaping set of an entire function consists of the points in the complex plane that tend to infinity under iteration. This set plays a central role in the dynamics of transcendental entire functions. The goal of this survey is to…

We show that if the maximum modulus of a quasiregular mapping f grows sufficiently rapidly then there exists a non-empty escaping set I(f) consisting of points whose forward orbits under iteration tend to infinity. This set I(f) has an…

In 1988, Mayer proved the remarkable fact that infinity is an explosion point for the set of endpoints of the Julia set of an exponential map that has an attracting fixed point. That is, the set is totally separated (in particular, it does…

We prove a number of results concerning the Hausdorff and packing dimension of sets of points which escape (at least in average) to infinity at a given rate under non-autonomous iteration of exponential maps. In particular, we generalize…

We construct exponential maps for which the singular value tends to infinity under iterates while the maps are ergodic. This is in contrast with a result of Lyubich from 1987 which tells that $e^z$ is not ergodic.

We study the different rates of escape of points under iteration by holomorphic self-maps of $\mathbb C^*=\mathbb C\setminus\{ 0\}$ for which both 0 and $\infty$ are essential singularities. Using annular covering lemmas we construct…

Guided by classical concepts, we define the notion of \emph{ends} of an iterated function system and prove that the number of ends is an upper bound for the number of nondegenerate components of its attractor. The remaining isolated points…

Let $E_{\la}(z)=\la {\rm exp}(z), \ \lambda\in \mathbb C$ be the complex exponential family. For all functions in the family there is a unique asymptotic value at 0 (and no critical values). For a fixed $\la$, the set of points in $\mathbb…

Consider the entire function $f(z)=\cosh(z)$. We show that the escaping set of this function - that is, the set of points whose orbits tend to infinity under iteration - has a structure known as a "spider's web". This disproves a conjecture…

The fast escaping set of a transcendental entire function is the set of all points which tend to infinity under iteration as fast as compatible with the growth of the function. We study the analogous set for quasiregular mappings in higher…

We study the dynamics of iterated cosine maps $E\colon z \mapsto ae^z+be^{-z},$ with $a,b \in \C\setminus \{0\}$. We show that the points which converge to infinity under iteration are organized in the form of rays and, as in the…

We study the iteration of functions in the exponential family. We construct a number of sets, consisting of points which escape to infinity `slowly', and which have Hausdorff dimension equal to 1. We prove these results by using the idea of…

We determine the exact Borel class of the points whose iterates under $\exp(z)+a$ tend to infinity. We also prove that the sets of non-escaping Julia points for many of these functions are topologically equivalent.

We consider the dynamics of transcendental self-maps of the punctured plane, $\mathbb{C}^*=\mathbb{C}\setminus \{0\}$. We prove that the escaping set $I(f)$ is either connected, or has infinitely many components. We also show that $I(f)\cup…

Let $f$ be a transcendental entire function. The escaping set $I(f)$ consists of those points that tend to infinity under iteration of $f$. We show that $I(f)$ is not $\sigma$-compact, resolving a question of Rippon from 2009.

We show that for any quasimeromorphic mapping with an essential singularity at infinity, there exist points whose iterates tend to infinity arbitrarily slowly. This extends a result by Nicks for quasiregular mappings, and Rippon and…
