This note contains a solution to the following problem: reconstruct the definition field and the equation of a projective cubic surface, using only combinatorial information about the set of its rational points. This information is encoded…
The combinatorial description via ribbon graphs of the moduli space of Riemann surfaces makes it possible to define combinatorial cycles in a natural way. Witten and Kontsevich first conjectured that these classes are polynomials in the…
A small perturbation of a quadratic polynomial with a non-repelling fixed point gives a polynomial with an attracting fixed point and a Jordan curve Julia set, on which the perturbed polynomial acts like angle doubling. However, there are…
We prove the existence of Cantor Julia sets with Hausdorff dimension two. In particular, such examples can be found in cubic polynomials. The proof is based on the characterization of the parameter spaces and dynamical planes of cubic…
We give examples of infinitely renormalizable quadratic polynomials $F_c: z\maps to z^2+c$ with stationary combinatorics whose Julia sets have Hausdorff dimension arbitrar y close to 1. The combinatorics of the renormalization involved is…
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…
The renormalization of a quadratic-like map is studied. The three-dimensional Yoccoz puzzle for an infinitely renormalizable quadratic-like map is discussed. For an unbranched quadratic-like map having the {\sl a priori} complex bounds, the…
In the paper 'On the dynamics of polynomial-like mappings' Douady and Hubbard introduced the notion of polynomial-like maps. They used it to identify homeomophic copies of the Mandelbrot set inside the Mandelbrot set. They conjectured that…
We study the parameter space structure of degree $d \ge 3$ one complex variable polynomials as dynamical systems acting on $\C$. We introduce and study {\it straightening maps}. These maps are a natural higher degree generalization of the…
A topological mating is a map defined by gluing together the filled Julia sets of two quadratic polynomials. The identifications are visualized and understood by pinching ray-equivalence classes of the formal mating. For postcritically…
On subsets E of the Mandelbrot set M, homeomorphisms are constructed by quasi-conformal surgery. When the dynamics of quadratic polynomials is changed piecewise by a combinatorial construction, a general theorem yields the corresponding…
We show that the Julia set of quadratic maps with parameters in hyperbolic components of the Mandelbrot set is given by a transseries formula, rapidly convergent at any repelling periodic point. Up to conformal transformations, we obtain…
Let $M$ be a model set meeting two simple conditions: (1) the internal space $H$ is a product of $R^n$ and a finite group, and (2) the window $W$ is a finite union of disjoint polyhedra. Then any point pattern with finite local complexity…
The Jack symmetric polynomials $P_\lambda^{(\alpha)}$ form a class of symmetric polynomials which are indexed by a partition $\lambda$ and depend rationally on a parameter $\alpha$. They reduced to the Schur polynomials when $\alpha=1$, and…
We study the notion of tangent-like maps, which is a transcendental analogue of polynomial-like maps. We introduce a model family analogous to quadratic polynomials, with only one free asymptotic value, and define the "Tandelbrot set" as…
Quadratic laminations of the unit disk were introduced by Thurston as a vehicle for understanding the (connected) Julia sets of quadratic polynomials and the parameter space of quadratic polynomials. The "Central Strip Lemma" plays a key…
Following the ideas of A.~Douady, we give an alternative proof of the authors' result: for any boundary point $c_0$ of the Mandelbrot set $M$, we can find small quasiconformal copies of $M$ in $M$ that are encaged in nested quasiconformal…
We investigate with the help of Clifford algebraic methods the Mandelbrot set over arbitrary two-component number systems. The complex numbers are regarded as operator spinors in D\times spin(2) resp. spin(2). The thereby induced (pseudo)…
We study the fine geometric structure of bifurcation currents in the parameter space of cubic polynomials viewed as dynamical systems. In particular we prove that these currents have some laminar structure in a large region of parameter…
We describe an interesting interplay between symbolic dynamics, the structure of the Mandelbrot set, permutations of periodic points achieved by analytic continuation, and Galois groups of certain polynomials. Internal addresses are a…
