We study topological properties of the escaping endpoints and fast escaping endpoints of the Julia set of complex exponential $\exp(z)+a$ when $a\in (-\infty,-1)$. We show neither space is homeomorphic to the whole set of endpoints. This…
There are several classes of transcendental entire functions for which the Julia set consists of an uncountable union of disjoint curves each of which joins a finite endpoint to infinity. Many authors have studied the topological properties…
The family of exponential maps $f_a(z)= e^z+a$ is of fundamental importance in the study of transcendental dynamics. Here we consider the topological structure of certain subsets of the Julia set $J(f_a)$. When $a\in (-\infty,-1)$, and more…
In 1988, Mayer proved the remarkable fact that infinity is an explosion point for the set of endpoints of the Julia set of an exponential map that has an attracting fixed point. That is, the set is totally separated (in particular, it does…
We determine the exact Borel class of the points whose iterates under $\exp(z)+a$ tend to infinity. We also prove that the sets of non-escaping Julia points for many of these functions are topologically equivalent.
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…
Let $E_{\la}(z)=\la {\rm exp}(z), \ \lambda\in \mathbb C$ be the complex exponential family. For all functions in the family there is a unique asymptotic value at 0 (and no critical values). For a fixed $\la$, the set of points in $\mathbb…
We investigate the set I(f) of points that converge to infinity under iteration of the map f(z) = e^z-1 and show that it is the disjoint union of countably many rays and uncountable union of infinite sets whose points escape to infinity…
The Julia set of the exponential family $E_{\kappa}:z\mapsto\kappa e^z$, $\kappa>0$ was shown to be the entire complex plane when $\kappa>1/e$ essentially by Misiurewicz. Later, Devaney and Krych showed that for $0<\kappa\leq1/e$ the Julia…
We prove that the meandering set for $f_a(z)=e^z+a$ is homeomorphic to the space of irrational numbers whenever $a$ belongs to the Fatou set of $f_a$. This extends recent results by Vasiliki Evdoridou and Lasse Rempe. It implies that the…
Let $f$ be Fatou's function, that is, $f(z)= z+1+e^{-z}$. We prove that the escaping set of $f$ has the structure of a `spider's web' and we show that this result implies that the non-escaping endpoints of the Julia set of $f$ together with…
We show that for any transcendental meromorphic function $f$ there is a point $z$ in the Julia set of $f$ such that the iterates $f^n(z)$ escape, that is, tend to $\infty$, arbitrarily slowly. The proof uses new covering results for…
We consider the family of transcendental entire maps given by $f_a(z)=a(z-(1-a))\exp(z+a)$ where $a$ is a complex parameter. Every map has a superattracting fixed point at $z=-a$ and an asymptotic value at $z=0$. For $a>1$ the Julia set of…
We study the different rates of escape of points under iteration by holomorphic self-maps of $\mathbb C^*=\mathbb C\setminus\{ 0\}$ for which both 0 and $\infty$ are essential singularities. Using annular covering lemmas we construct…
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…
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…
Zorich maps are higher dimensional analogues of the complex exponential map. For the exponential family $\lambda e^z$, $\lambda>0$, it is known that for small values of $\lambda$ the Julia set is an uncountable collection of disjoint…
We show that the points that converge to infinity under iteration of the exponential map form a connected subset of the complex plane.
We show that on a totally disconnected compact metric space every separating homeomorphisms is expansive except at periodic points. We conclude that minimal separating homeomorphisms are expansive and that every separating homeomorphism has…
We prove that the rational Hilbert space $\mathfrak E$, known as Erd\H{o}s space, surfaces in complex dynamics via iteration of $e^z-1$.
