Let $d(\varepsilon)$ and $\mathcal D(\delta)$ denote the Hausdorff dimension of the Julia sets of the polynomials $p_\varepsilon(z)=z^2+1/4+\varepsilon$ and $f_\delta(z)=(1+\delta)z+z^2$ respectively. In this paper we will study the…

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,…

This paper investigates the set of angles of the parameter rays which land on the real slice $[-2,1/4]$ of the Mandelbrot set. We prove that this set has zero length but Hausdorff dimension 1. We obtain the corresponding results for the…

We study rational functions satisfying summability conditions - a family of weak conditions on the expansion along the critical orbits. Assuming their appropriate versions, we derive many nice properties: There exists a unique, ergodic, and…

In this paper, we prove that any parameter ray at a non-recurrent angle $\theta$ lands at a non-recurrent parameter $c$ with $\theta$ a characteristic angle of $f_c$; and conversely, every non-recurrent parameter $c$ is the landing point of…

Let $d(\delta)$ denote the Hausdorff dimension of the Julia set of the polynomial $f_\delta(z)=z^2-2+\delta$. In this paper we will study the directional derivative of the function $d$ along directions landing at the parameter $0$, which…

First, for the family P_{n,c}(z) = z^n + c, we show that the geometric limit of the Mandelbrot sets M_n(P) as n tends to infinity exists and is the closed unit disk, and that the geometric limit of the Julia sets J(P_{n,c}) as n tends to…

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…

The characterization and properties of Julia sets of one parameter family of transcendental meromorphic functions $\zeta_\lambda(z)=\lambda \frac{z}{z+1} e^{-z}$, $\lambda >0$, $z\in \mathbb{C}$ is investigated in the present paper. It is…

The boundaries of the hyperbolic components of odd period of the multicorns contain real-analytic arcs consisting of quasi-conformally conjugate parabolic parameters. One of the main results of this paper asserts that the Hausdorff…

This article investigates the parameter space of the exponential family $z\mapsto \exp(z)+\kappa$. We prove that the boundary (in $\C$) of every hyperbolic component is a Jordan arc, as conjectured by Eremenko and Lyubich as well as Baker…

This paper continues our investigation of the dynamics of families of transcendental meromorphic functions with finitely many singular values all of which are finite. Here we look at a generalization of the family of polynomials…

The numerical phenomenon of $\pi$ appearing at parameters $c = 1/4$, $c=-3/4$ and $c=-5/4$ in the Mandelbrot set $\mathcal{M}$ has been known for over 30 years. In 2001, the first proof was provided by Aaron Klebanoff for the parameter…

A key point in Douady and Hubbard's study of the Mandelbrot set $M$ is the theorem that every parabolic point $c\ne 1/4$ in $M$ is the landing point for exactly two external rays with angle which are periodic under doubling. This note will…

A closed interval and circle are the only smooth Julia sets in polynomial dynamics. D. Ruelle proved that the Hausdorff dimension of unicritical Julia sets close to the circle depends analytically on the parameter. Near the tip of the…

In this paper we discuss the dynamics as well as the structure of the parameter space of the one-parameter family of rational maps $\ds f_t(z)=-\frac{t}{4}\frac{(z^{2}-2)^{2}}{z^{2}-1}$ with free critical orbit…

The Mandelbrot set is a fractal which classifies the behaviour of complex quadratic polynomials. Although its remarkably simple definition: $\mathcal{M}:=\{c \in \mathbb{C}\,|\,Q_c(0)^n \nrightarrow \infty \mbox{ as } n\rightarrow \infty,…

We study the dynamical behaviour of points in the boundaries of simply connected invariant Baker domains $U$ of meromorphic maps $f$ with a finite degree on $U$. We prove that if $f|_U$ is of hyperbolic or simply parabolic type, then almost…

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…
