Mandelbrot set arose from the pioneering work of French mathematician Gaston Julia in the field of complex dynamics at the beginning of the 20th century. French-American mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot used computers to calculate iterations…
We continue the description of Mandelbrot and Multibrot sets and of Julia sets in terms of fibers which was begun in IMS preprints 1998/12 and 1998/13a. The question of local connectivity of these sets is discussed in terms of fibers and…
We give a new proof that all external rays of the Mandelbrot set at rational angles land, and of the relation between the external angle of such a ray and the dynamics at the landing point. Our proof is different from the original one,…
In the moduli space of degree d polynomials, the special subvarieties are those cut out by critical orbit relations, and then the special points are the post-critically finite polynomials. It was conjectured that in the moduli space of…
We consider the "Mandelbrot set" $M$ for pairs of complex linear maps, introduced by Barnsley and Harrington in 1985 and studied by Bousch, Bandt and others. It is defined as the set of parameters $\lambda$ in the unit disk such that the…
This article focus on the connected locus of the cubic polynomial slice $Per_1(\lambda)$ with a parabolic fixed point of multiplier $\lambda=e^{2\pi i\frac{p}{q}}$. We first show that any parabolic component, which is a parallel notion of…
In the field of the Jacobian conjecture it is well-known after Druzkowski that from a polynomial "cubic-homogeneous" mapping we can build a higher-dimensional "cubic-linear" mapping and the other way round, so that one of them is invertible…
We give a combinatorial definition of "core entropy" for quadratic polynomials as the growth exponent of the number of certain precritical points in the Julia set (those that separate the $\alpha$ fixed point from its negative). This notion…
We study the fine structure of the parameter space of the unicritical family of algebraic correspondences $z^r + c$, where $r > 1$ is a rational exponent. Building on Tan Lei's result regarding the similarity between the Mandelbrot set and…
A decoration of the Mandelbrot set $M$ is a part of $M$ cut off by two external rays landing at some tip of a satellite copy of $M$ attached to the main cardioid. In this paper we consider infinitely renormalizable quadratic polynomials…
A topological ring R, an escape set B in R and a family of maps z^d+c defines the degree d Mandelstuff as the set of parameters for which the closure of the orbit of 0 does not intersect R. If B is the complement of a ball of radius 2 in C…
We prove that for every hyperbolic component of the Mandelbrot set, any two limbs with equal denominators are homeomorphic so that the homeomorphism preserves periods of hyperbolic components. This settles a conjecture on the Mandelbrot set…
The classical modular polynomial for $j$-invariants describes the relation between two elliptic curves connected by isogenies. This polynomial has been applied to various algorithms in computational number theory, such as point counting on…
Using Lavaurs maps and near-parabolic renormalization, we describe the degenerating geometry of external rays for quadratic polynomials when a periodic cycle becomes parabolic. We similarly describe the geometry of parameter rays for the…
As a particular problem within the field of non-autonomous discrete systems, we consider iterations of two quadratic maps $f_{c_0}=z^2+c_0$ and $f_{c_1}=z^2+c_1$, according to a prescribed binary sequence, which we call a \emph{template}.…
Thurston introduced $\si_d$-invariant laminations (where $\si_d(z)$ coincides with $z^d:\ucirc\to \ucirc$, $d\ge 2$). He defined \emph{wandering $k$-gons} as sets $\T\subset \ucirc$ such that $\si_d^n(\T)$ consists of $k\ge 3$ distinct…
The basic combinatorial properties of a complete set of mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) of a q-dimensional Hilbert space H\_q, q = p^r with p being a prime and r a positive integer, are shown to be qualitatively mimicked by the configuration…
This paper constructs a combinatorial model for all postcritically finite rational maps arising as the Newton's method of a complex polynomial. This model is used in [LMS] to give a combinatorial classification of postcritically finite…
We suggest an approach to constructing physical systems with dynamical characteristics of the complex analytic iterative maps. The idea follows from a simple notion that the complex quadratic map by a variable change may be transformed into…
We describe all special curves in the parameter space of complex cubic polynomials, that is all algebraic irreducible curves containing infinitely many post-critically finite polynomials. This solves in a strong form a conjecture by Baker…
