It is well known that baby Mandelbrot sets are homeomorphic to the original one. We study baby Tricorns appearing in the Tricorn, which is the connectedness locus of quadratic anti-holomorphic polynomials, and show that the dynamically…
We continue our exploration of the family $\mathcal{S}$ of Schwarz reflection maps with respect to the cardioid and a circle which was initiated in our earlier work. We prove that there is a natural combinatorial bijection between the…
We solve the longstanding conjecture by Milnor (1993) concerning the connectedness locus $M_1$ of the family of quadratic rational maps tangent to the identity at $\infty$. We prove that this locus in homeomorphic to the Mandelbrot set $M$…
In [M3], Milnor found Tricorn-like sets in the parameter space of real cubic polynomials. We give a rigorous definition of these Tricorn-like sets as suitable renormalization loci, and show that the dynamically natural straightening map…
The tricorn, the connectedness locus of the anti-holomorphic quadratic family, is known to be non-locally connected. The boundary of every hyperbolic component of odd period contains arcs that are inaccessible from the complement of the…
We continue the study of straightening maps for the family of polynomials of degree $d \ge 3$. The notion of straightening map is originally introduced by Douady and Hubbard to study relationship between polynomial-like renormalizations and…
We prove that there exists a homeomorphism $\chi$ between the connectedness locus $\mathcal{M}_{\Gamma}$ for the family $\mathcal{F}_a$ of $(2:2)$ holomorphic correspondences introduced by Bullett and Penrose, and the parabolic Mandelbrot…
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…
In this paper, we continue exploration of the dynamical and parameter planes of one-parameter families of Schwarz reflections that was initiated in \cite{LLMM1,LLMM2}. Namely, we consider a family of quadrature domains obtained by…
The multicorns are the connectedness loci of unicritical antiholomorphic polynomials $\bar{z}^d + c$. We investigate the structure of boundaries of hyperbolic components: we prove that the structure of bifurcations from hyperbolic…
We demonstrate the homogeneity of the Hilbert Cube. In particular, we construct explicit self-homeomorphisms of the Hilbert cube so that given any two points, a homeomorphism moving one to the other may be realized.
We show that a homotopy equivalence between two non-compact orientable surfaces is homotopic to a homeomorphism if and only if it preserves the Goldman bracket, provided our surfaces are neither the plane nor the punctured plane.
The characteristic varieties of a space are the jump loci for homology of rank 1 local systems. The way in which the geometry of these varieties may vary with the characteristic of the ground field is reflected in the homology of finite…
We give new proofs that the Mandelbrot set is locally connected at every Misiurewicz point and at every point on the boundary of a hyperbolic component. The idea is to show ``shrinking of puzzle pieces'' without using specific puzzles.…
A self-avoiding plane-filling curve cannot be periodic, but we show that it can satisfy the local isomorphism property. We investigate three families of coverings of the plane by finite sets of nonoverlapping self-avoiding curves which…
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…
We show that the group of conformal homeomorphisms of the boundary of a rank one symmetric space (except the hyperbolic plane) of noncompact type acts as a maximal convergence group. Moreover, we show that any family of uniformly…
The eigenvalues of companion matrices associated with generalized Lucas sequences, denoted as L, exhibit a striking geometric resemblance to the Mandelbrot set M. This work investigates this connection by analyzing the statistical…
We deal with topological spaces homeomorphic to their respective squares. Primarily, we investigate the existence of large families of such spaces in some subclasses of compact metrizable spaces. As our main result we show that there is a…
Quasiconformal maps in the complex plane are homeomorphisms that satisfy certain geometric distortion inequalities; infinitesimally, they map circles to ellipses with bounded eccentricity. The local distortion properties of these maps give…
