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…

It is shown that a polynomial with a Cremer periodic point has a non-accessible critical point in its Julia set provided that the Cremer periodic point is approximated by small cycles.

A cubic polynomial $P$ with a non-repelling fixed point $b$ is said to be \emph{immediately renormalizable} if there exists a (connected) quadratic-like invariant filled Julia set $K^*$ such that $b\in K^*$. In that case exactly one…

Given a polynomial $p$, the degree of its Chebyshev's method $C_p$ is determined. If $p$ is cubic then the degree of $C_p$ is found to be $4,6$ or $7$ and we investigate the dynamics of $C_p$ in these cases. If a cubic polynomial $p$ is…

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 dynamics of polynomials with coefficients in a non-Archimedean field $K,$ where $K$ is a field containing a dense subset of algebraic elements over a discrete valued field $k.$ We prove that every wandering Fatou component is…

Complex 1-variable polynomials with connected Julia sets and only repelling periodic points are called \emph{dendritic}. By results of Kiwi, any dendritic polynomial is semi-conjugate to a topological polynomial whose topological Julia set…

A cubic polynomial $P$ with a non-repelling fixed point $b$ is said to be immediately renormalizable if there exists a (connected) QL invariant filled Julia set $K^*$ such that $b\in K^*$. In that case, exactly one critical point of $P$…

The dynamics of all quadratic Newton maps of rational functions are completely described. The Julia set of such a map is found to be either a Jordan curve or totally disconnected. It is proved that no Newton map with degree at least three…

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 show that the set of conjugacy classes of cubic polynomials with a prefixed critical point, of preperiod $k\geq 1$, is an irreducible algebraic curve. We also establish an analogous result for quadratic rational maps. We then study a…

We prove that the Julia set of a rational function $f$ is computable in polynomial time, assuming that the postcritical set of $f$ does not contain any critical points or parabolic periodic orbits.

Let $P$ be a polynomial of degree $d$ with a Cremer point $p$ and no repelling or parabolic periodic bi-accessible points. We show that there are two types of such Julia sets $J_P$. The \emph{red dwarf} $J_P$ are nowhere connected im…

A model for the Mandelbrot set is due to Thurston and is stated in the language of geodesic laminations. The conjecture that the Mandelbrot set is actually homeomorphic to this model is equivalent to the celebrated MLC conjecture stating…

This article deals with the question of local connectivity of the Julia set of polynomials and rational maps. It essentially presents conjectures and questions.

We construct combinatorial Hubbard trees for all unicritical polynomials, and for all exponential maps, for which the critical (singular) value does not escape. More precisely, out of an external angle, or more generally a kneading…

We investigate the dynamics of semigroups generated by a family of polynomial maps on the Riemann sphere such that the postcritical set in the complex plane is bounded. The Julia set of such a semigroup may not be connected in general. We…

Let $f$ be a quadratic polynomial which has an irrationally indifferent fixed point $\alpha$. Let $z$ be a biaccessible point in the Julia set of $f$. Then: 1. In the Siegel case, the orbit of $z$ must eventually hit the critical point of…

We prove the existence of quadratic polynomials having a Julia set with positive Lebesgue measure in three cases: the presence of a Cremer fixed point, the presence of a Siegel disk, the presence of infinitely many (satellite)…

Let $ R $ be a rational map with totally disconnected Julia set $ J(R). $ If the postcritical set on $ J(R) $ contains a non-persistently recurrent (or conical) point, then we show that the map $ R $ can not be a structurally stable map.
