Let $H$ be a H\'enon map of the form $H(x,y)=(y,p(y)-ax)$. We prove that the escaping set $U^+$ (or equivalently, the non-escaping set $K^+$), of $H$ is rigid under the actions of automorphisms of $\mathbb{C}^2$ if the degree of $H=d\le…

Transcendental H\'enon maps are the natural extensions of the well investigated complex polynomial H\'enon maps to the much larger class of holomorphic automorphisms. We prove here that transcendental H\'enon maps always have non-trivial…

Let H: C^2 -> C^2 be the Henon mapping given by (x,y) --> (p(x) - ay,x). The key invariant subsets are K_+/-, the sets of points with bounded forward images, J_+/- = the boundary of K_+/-, J = the union of J_+ and J_-, and K = the union of…

We prove some new continuity results for the Julia sets $J$ and $J^{+}$ of the complex H\'enon map $H_{c,a}(x,y)=(x^{2}+c+ay, ax)$, where $a$ and $c$ are complex parameters. We look at the parameter space of dissipative H\'enon maps which…

Let $H$ be a polynomial automorphism of $\mathbb{C}^2$ of positive entropy and degree $d \ge 2$. We prove that the escaping set $U^+$ (or equivalently, the non-escaping set $K^+$), of $H$ is rigid under the action of holomorphic…

We present an algorithm that, given finite simplicial sets $X$, $A$, $Y$ with an action of a finite group $G$, computes the set $[X,Y]^A_G$ of homotopy classes of equivariant maps $\ell \colon X \to Y$ extending a given equivariant map $f…

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…

The dynamics of transcendental functions in the complex plane has received a significant amount of attention. In particular much is known about the description of Fatou components. Besides the types of periodic Fatou components that can…

Very little is currently known about the dynamics of non-polynomial entire maps in several complex variables. The family of transcendental H\'enon maps offers the potential of combining ideas from transcendental dynamics in one variable,…

We show that for many complex parameters a, the set of points that converge to infinity under iteration of the exponential map f(z)=e^z+a is connected. This includes all parameters for which the singular value escapes to infinity under…

By studying the commuting graphs of conjugacy classes of the sequence of Heisenberg groups $H_{2n+1}(p)$ and their limit $H_\infty(p)$ we find pseudo-random behavior (and the random graph in the limiting case). This makes a nice case study…

A quadratic H\'enon map is an automorphism of $\C^2$ of the form $h:(x,y)\mapsto (\l^{1/2} (x^2+c)-\l y,x)$. It has a constant Jacobian equal to $\l$ and has two fixed points. If $\lambda$ is on the unit circle (one says $h$ is…

In this paper we study dynamical properties of the area preserving Henon map, as a discrete version of open Hamiltonian systems, that can exhibit chaotic scattering. Exploiting its geometric properties we locate the exit and entry sets,…

In this paper we develop an abstract setup for hamiltonian group actions as follows: Starting with a continuous 2-cochain $\omega$ on a Lie algebra $h$ with values in an $h$-module $V$, we associate subalgebras $sp(h,\omega) \supeq…

We consider harmonic maps on simply connected Riemann surfaces into the group $\mathrm{U}(n)$ of unitary matrices of order $n$. It is known that a harmonic map with an associated algebraic extended solution can be deformed into a new…

For every odd prime $p$ and every integer $n\geq 12$ there is a Heisenberg group of order $p^{5n/4+O(1)}$ that has $p^{n^2/24+O(n)}$ pairwise nonisomorphic quotients of order $p^{n}$. Yet, these quotients are virtually indistinguishable.…

For an algebraic family $(f_t)$ of regular quadratic polynomial endomorphisms of $\mathbb{C}^2$ parametrized by $\mathbb{D}^*$ and degenerating to a H\'enon map at $t=0$, we study the continuous (and indeed harmonic) extendibility across…

We consider the structure of substantially dissipative complex H\'enon maps admitting a dominated splitting on the Julia set. The dominated splitting assumption corresponds to the one-dimensional assumption that there are no critical points…

We develop an abstract model for the dynamics of an exponential map $z\mapsto \exp(z)+\kappa$ on its set of escaping points and, as an analog of Boettcher's theorem for polynomials, show that every exponential map is conjugate, on a…

Given a discrete subgroup $\Gamma$ of $PU(1,n)$ it acts by isometries on the unit complex ball $\Bbb{H}^n_{\Bbb{C}}$, in this setting a lot of work has been done in order to understand the action of the group. However when we look at the…
