In this article, we study the dynamics of the following family of rational maps with one parameter: \begin{equation*} f_\lambda(z)= z^n+\frac{\lambda^2}{z^n-\lambda}, \end{equation*} where $n\geq 3$ and $\lambda\in\mathbb{C}^*$. This family…
For the family of complex rational functions known as "Generalized McMullen maps", F(z) = z^n + a/z^n+b, for complex parameters a and b, with a nonzero, and any integer n at least 3 fixed, we reveal, and provide a combinatorial model for,…
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…
This paper continues our investigation of the dynamics of families of transcendental meromorphic functions with finitely many singular values all of which are finite. Here we look at a generalization of the family of polynomials…
For the family of complex rational functions of the form R(z)= z^n + a/z^n+b, known as "Generalized McMullen maps", for non-zero a, and integer n fixed and at least 3, we describe the apparent phenomena of baby Julia sets in parameter space…
In this paper, we give a family of rational maps whose Julia sets are Cantor circles and show that every rational map whose Julia set is a Cantor set of circles must be topologically conjugate to one map in this family on their…
It is known that the disconnected Julia set of any polynomial map does not contain buried Julia components. But such Julia components may arise for rational maps. The first example is due to Curtis T. McMullen who provided a family of…
We study the postcritically-finite (PCF) maps in the moduli space of complex polynomials $\mathrm{MP}_d$. For a certain class of rational curves $C$ in $\mathrm{MP}_d$, we characterize the condition that $C$ contains infinitely many PCF…
By a symmetry of the Julia set of a polynomial, also referred as polynomial Julia set, we mean an Euclidean isometry preserving the Julia set. Each such symmetry is in fact a rotation about the centroid of the polynomial. In this article, a…
For the family of complex rational functions of the form $R_{n,c,a}(z) = z^n + \dfrac{a}{z^n}+c$, known as ``Generalized McMullen maps'', for $a\neq 0$ and $n \geq 3$ fixed, we study the boundedness locus in some one-dimensional slices of…
It has been shown that Cantor bubble Julia sets can appear in the dynamics of polynomials and their singular perturbations. In this paper, we present a criterion that guarantees the existence of Cantor bubble Julia sets for certain rational…
In this paper we study a one parameter family of rational maps obtained by applying the Chebyshev-Halley root finding algorithms. We show that the dynamics near parameters where the family presents some degeneracy might be understood from…
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…
Consider the one-parameter family of cubic polynomials defined by $f_t(z) =-\frac 32 t(-2z^3+3z^2)+1, t \in \mathbb{C}_2$. This family corresponds to a slice of the parameter space of cubic polynomials in $\mathbb{C}_2[z]$. We investigate…
In this paper, we introduce cosine Thurston maps. In particular, we construct postsingularly finite topological cosine maps and focus on such maps with strictly preperiodic critical points. We use the techniques of Hubbard, Schleicher, and…
We prove that the Julia set $J(f)$ of at most finitely renormalizable unicritical polynomial $f:z\mapsto z^d+c$ with all periodic points repelling is locally connected. (For $d=2$ it was proved by Yoccoz around 1990.) It follows from a…
We prove a priori bounds for Feigenbaum quadratic polynomials, i.e., infinitely renormalizable polynomials $f_c: z\mapsto z^2+c$ of bounded type. It implies local connectivity of the corresponding Julia sets $J(f_c)$ and MLC (local…
A Thurston map is a branched covering map $f\colon S^2\to S^2$ that is postcritically finite. Mating of polynomials, introduced by Douady and Hubbard, is a method to geometrically combine the Julia sets of two polynomials (and their…
We prove a version of the classical $\lambda$-lemma for holomorphic families of Riemann surfaces. We then use it to show that critical loci for complex H\'{e}non maps that are small perturbations of quadratic polynomials with Cantor Julia…
Consider the parameter space $\mathcal{P}_{\lambda}\subset \mathbb{C}^{2}$ of complex H\'enon maps $$ H_{c,a}(x,y)=(x^{2}+c+ay,ax),\ \ a\neq 0 $$ which have a semi-parabolic fixed point with one eigenvalue $\lambda=e^{2\pi i p/q}$. We give…
