Renormalizations can be considered as building blocks of complex dynamical systems. This phenomenon has been widely studied for iterations of polynomials of one complex variable. Concerning non-polynomial hyperbolic rational maps, a recent…
In 1980s, Thurston established a topological characterization theorem for postcritically finite rational maps. In this paper, a decomposition theorem for a class of postcritically infinite branched covering termed `Herman map' is developed.…
We study a family of Bowen-Series-like maps associated to any finitely generated Fuchsian group of the first kind with at least one cusp. These maps act on the boundary of the hyperbolic plane in a piecewise manner by generators of the…
We prove a dynamical Shafarevich theorem on the finiteness of the set of isomorphism classes of rational maps with fixed degeneracies. More precisely, fix an integer d at least 2 and let K be either a number field or the function field of a…
In this paper we develop a bubble tree structure for a degenerating class of Riemannian metrics satisfying some global conformal bounds on compact manifolds of dimension 4. Applying the bubble tree structure, we establish a gap theorem, a…
Given a semistable degeneration with a simple normal crossings central fiber, Abramovich-Chen-Gross-Siebert [3] proved a degeneration formula that relates the moduli spaces of stable maps in smooth fibers to certain moduli spaces of…
We study the group of self-equivalences of a partially postcritically finite branched cover and answer a question of Adam Epstein about contractibility of certain deformation spaces of rational maps.
We prove the existence of Cannon-Thurston maps for Kleinian groups corresponding to pared manifolds whose boundary is incompressible away from cusps. We also describe the structure of these maps in terms of ending laminations.
By adapting the near-degenerate regime designed by Kahn, Lyubich, and D. Dudko, we prove that the boundaries of Herman rings with bounded type rotation number and of the simplest configuration are quasicircles with dilatation depending only…
For $N \geq 4$ we classify the $(N-3)$-degenerate smooth CR maps of the three-dimensional unit sphere into the $(2N-1)$-dimensional unit sphere. Each of these maps has image being contained in a five-dimensional complex-linear space and is…
We study skew-product dynamics for a large class of finitely-generated semi--hyperbolic semigroups of rational maps acting on the Riemann sphere, which generalizes both the theory of iteration of a single rational map of a single complex…
Consider a geometrically finite Kleinian group $G$ without parabolic or elliptic elements, with its Kleinian manifold $M=(\H^3\cup \Omega_G)/G$. Suppose that for each boundary component of $M$, either a maximal and connected measured…
In this paper, we classify completely hyperbolic 3-manifolds corresponding to geometric limits of Kleinian surface groups isomorphic to $\pi_1(S)$ for a finite-type hyperbolic surface $S$. In the first of the three main theorems, we…
Among Thurston maps (orientation-preserving, postcritically finite branched coverings of the 2-sphere to itself), those that arise as subdivision maps of a finite subdivision rule form a special family. For such maps, we investigate…
We establish the convergence theory of multiplicative Diophantine approximation for all non-degenerate, smooth manifolds. We also settle said convergence theory for all affine subspaces satisfying a highly generic and essentially optimal…
We show that Thurston's skinning maps of Teichmuller space have finite fibers. The proof centers around a study of two subvarieties of the SL_2(C) character variety of a surface, one associated to complex projective structures and the other…
