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…
A topological mating is a map defined by gluing together the filled Julia sets of two quadratic polynomials. The identifications are visualized and understood by pinching ray-equivalence classes of the formal mating. For postcritically…
In this Note, we present recent developments in the Renormalization Theory of quadratic polynomials and discuss their applications, with an emphasis on the MLC conjecture, the problem of local connectivity of the Mandelbrot set, and on its…
Let $f(z) = z^2 + c$ be a quadratic polynomial, with c in the Mandelbrot set. Assume further that both fixed points of f are repelling, and that f is not renormalizable. Then we prove that the Julia set J of f is holomorphically removable…
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…
Hyperbolic numbers are a variation of complex numbers, but their dynamics is quite different. The hyperbolic Mandelbrot set for quadratic functions over hyperbolic numbers is simply a filled square, and the filled Julia set for hyperbolic…
We introduce tessellation of the filled Julia sets for hyperbolic and parabolic quadratic maps. Then the dynamics inside their Julia sets are organized by tiles which work like external rays outside. We also construct continuous families of…
Consider the one-parameter family of cubic polynomials defined by $f_t(z) =-\frac 32 t(-2z^3+3z^2)+1, t \in \mathbb{C}_2$. This family corresponds to a slice of the parameter space of cubic polynomials in $\mathbb{C}_2[z]$. We investigate…
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…
Thurston introduced $\si_d$-invariant laminations (where $\si_d(z)$ coincides with $z^d:\ucirc\to \ucirc$, $d\ge 2$) and defined \emph{wandering $k$-gons} as sets $\T\subset \ucirc$ such that $\si_d^n(\T)$ consists of $k\ge 3$ distinct…
We provide a combinatorial description of the monoidal category generated by the fundamental representation of the small quantum group of $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ at a root of unity $q$ of odd order. Our approach is diagrammatic, and it relies on…
Thurston defined invariant laminations, i.e. collections of chords of the unit circle $S^1$ (called \emph{leaves}) that are pairwise disjoint inside the open unit disk and satisfy a few dynamical properties. To be directly associated to a…
The no invariant line fields conjecture is one of the main outstanding problems in traditional complex dynamics. In this paper we consider non-autonomous iteration where one works with compositions of sequences of polynomials with suitable…
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…
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…
This is a continuation of the series of notes on the dynamics of quadratic polynomials. We show the following Rigidity Theorem: Any combinatorial class contains at most one quadratic polynomial satisfying the secondary limbs condition with…
We study the correspondence between unicritical laminations and maximally critical laminations with rotational and identity return polygons. Laminations are a combinatorial and topological way to study Julia sets. Laminations give…
Given a minuscule representation of a simple Lie algebra, we find an algebraic model for the action of a regular element and show that these models can be glued together over the adjoint quotient, viewed as the set of all regular conjugacy…
On subsets E of the Mandelbrot set M, homeomorphisms are constructed by quasi-conformal surgery. When the dynamics of quadratic polynomials is changed piecewise by a combinatorial construction, a general theorem yields the corresponding…
As nature is ascribed as quantum, the fractals also pose some intriguing appearance which is found in many micro and macro observable entities or phenomena. Fractals show self-similarity across sizes; structures that resemble the entire are…
