We prove that if $\xi$ is a quasisymmetric homeomorphism between Sierpi\'nski carpets that are the Julia sets of postcritically-finite rational maps, then $\xi$ is the restriction of a M\"obius transformation to the Julia set. This implies…

We prove that if $f$ and $g$ are postcritically finite rational maps whose Julia sets $\mathcal{J}(f), \mathcal{J}(g)$, respectively, are Sierpi\'nski carpets, and if $\xi$ is a quasiregular map of the Riemann sphere $\widehat{\mathbb{C}}$…

We prove that every quasisymmetric homeomorphism of a standard square Sierpi\'nski carpet $S_p$, $p\ge 3$ odd, is an isometry. This strengthens and completes earlier work by the authors. We also show that a similar conclusion holds for…

We introduce Schottky maps-conformal maps between relative Schottky sets, and study their local rigidity properties. This continues the investigations of relative Schottky sets initiated in [S. Merenkov, "Planar relative Schottky sets and…

We study the quasisymmetric geometry of the Julia sets of McMullen maps $f_\lambda(z)=z^m+\lambda/z^\ell$, where $\ell$, $m\geq 2$ are integers satisfying $1/\ell+1/m<1$ and $\lambda\in\mathbb{C}\setminus\{0\}$. If the free critical points…

Let $S_i$, $i\in I$, be a countable collection of Jordan curves in the extended complex plane $\Sph$ that bound pairwise disjoint closed Jordan regions. If the Jordan curves are uniform quasicircles and are uniformly relatively separated,…

In this paper, we prove that a postcritically finite rational map with non-empty Fatou set is Thurstion equivalent to an expanding Thurston map if and only if its Julia set is homeomorphic to the standard Sierpinski carpet

We give three families of parabolic rational maps and show that every Cantor set of circles as the Julia set of a non-hyperbolic rational map must be quasisymmetrically equivalent to the Julia set of one map in these families for suitable…

The Fatou-Julia theory for rational functions has been extended both to transcendental meromorphic functions and more recently to several different types of quasiregular mappings in higher dimensions. We extend the iterative theory to…

In this paper, we study quasi post-critically finite degenerations for rational maps. We construct limits for such degenerations as geometrically finite rational maps on a finite tree of Riemann spheres. We prove the boundedness for such…

We prove that every quasisymmetric self-homeomorphism of the standard 1/3-Sierpi\'nski carpet $S_3$ is a Euclidean isometry. For carpets in a more general family, the standard $1/p$-Sierpi\'nski carpets $S_p$, $p\ge 3$ odd, we show that the…

This research is motivated by the study of the geometry of fractal sets and is focused on uniformization problems: transformation of sets to canonical sets, using maps that preserve the geometry in some sense. More specifically, the main…

We develop a theory of quasisymmetries for finitely ramified fractals, with applications to finitely ramified Julia sets. We prove that certain finitely ramified fractals admit a naturally defined class of "undistorted metrics" that are all…

In this paper, we prove that if $R\colon\widehat{\mathbb{C}}\to\widehat{\mathbb{C}}$ is a postcritically finite rational map with Julia set homeomorphic to the Sierpi\'nski carpet, then there is an integer $n_0$, such that, for any $n\ge…

Recently Merenkov and Sabitova introduced the notion of a homogeneous planar set. Using this notion they proved a result for Sierpi${\'n}$ski carpet Julia sets of hyperbolic rational maps that relates the diameters of the peripheral circles…

The Fatou-Julia iteration theory of rational and transcendental entire functions has recently been extended to quasiregular maps in more than two real dimensions. Our goal in this paper is similar; we extend the iteration theory of analytic…

We develop the foundations of the theory of quasi-visual approximations of bounded metric spaces. Roughly speaking, these are sequences of covers of a given space for which the diameters of the sets in the covers shrink to zero and for…

The object of the paper is to characterize gasket Julia sets of rational maps that can be uniformized by round gaskets. We restrict to rational maps without critical points on the Julia set. Under these conditions, we prove that a Julia set…

The Fatou-Julia iteration theory of rational functions has been extended to quasiregular mappings in higher dimension by various authors. The purpose of this paper is an analogous extension of the iteration theory of transcendental entire…

We initiate a study of the quasisymmetric uniformization of naturally arising random fractals and show that many of them fall outside the realm of quasisymmetric uniformization to simple canonical spaces. We begin with the trace, the graph…
