Let $f$ be a rational map with degree at least two. We prove that $f$ has at least $2$ disjoint and infinite critical orbits in the Julia set if it has a Herman ring. This result is sharp in the following sense: there exists a cubic…

We prove the existence of Siegel disks with smooth boundaries in most families of holomorphic maps fixing the origin. The method can also yield other types of regularity conditions for the boundary. The family is required to have an…

It has been shown that the Sierpi\'nski gasket-like sets can appear as the Julia sets of some geometrically finite rational maps. In this paper we prove that such type of Julia sets can also appear in the rational maps containing Siegel…

We prove the existence of rational maps whose Julia sets are Sierpi\'{n}ski carpets having positive area. Such rational maps can be constructed such that they either contain a Cremer fixed point, a Siegel disk or are infinitely…

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 construct some explicit formulas of rational maps and transcendental meromorphic functions having Herman rings of period strictly larger than one. This gives an answer to a question raised by Shishikura in the 1980s. Moreover, the…

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…

We present a number of rigidity results concerning holomorphic dynamical systems admitting rotation quasicircles. Firstly, we show the absence of line fields on the Julia set of any rational map that is geometrically finite away from a…

Consider a rational map $R$ of degree $d\geq 2$ with coefficients over the non-archimedean field $\mathbb{C}_p$, with $p$ a fixed prime number. If $R$ has a cycle of Siegel disks and has good reduction, then it was shown by Rivera-Letelier…

X. Buff and A. Cheritat proved that there are quadratic polynomials having Siegel disks with smooth boundaries. Based on a simplification of A. Avila, we give yet another simplification of their proof. The main tool used is a harmonic…

We prove that a long iteration of rational maps is expanding near boundaries of bounded type Siegel disks. This leads us to extend Petersen's local connectivity result on the Julia sets of quadratic Siegel polynomials to a general case. A…

We prove that every bounded type Siegel disk of a rational map must be a quasi-disk with at least one critical point on its boundary. This verifies Douady-Sullivan conjecture for bounded type Siegel disks.

We analyze a real one-parameter family of quasiconformal deformations of a hyperbolic rational map known as {\em spinning}. We show that under fairly general hypotheses, the limit of spinning either exists and is unique, or else converges…

In this paper, we prove that for any post-critically finite rational map $f$ on the Riemann sphere $\overline{\mathbb{C}}$, and for each sufficiently large integer $n$, there exists a finite and connected graph $G$ in the Julia set of $f$…

We prove that if $f$ and $g$ are postcritically finite rational maps whose Julia sets $\mathcal{J}(f), \mathcal{J}(g)$, respectively, are Sierpi\'nski carpets, and if $\xi$ is a quasiregular map of the Riemann sphere $\widehat{\mathbb{C}}$…

The long-standing problem of existence of nowhere dense rational Julia set with positive area has been solved by an example in quadratic polynomials by Buff and Ch\'eritat. Since then many efforts have been devoted to finding out new…

A quadratic H\'enon map is an automorphism of $\C^2$ of the form $h:(x,y)\mapsto (\l^{1/2} (x^2+c)-\l y,x)$. It has a constant Jacobian equal to $\l$ and has two fixed points. If $\lambda$ is on the unit circle (one says $h$ is…

In the famous work by Buff and Ch\'eritat constructing quadratic Julia sets with positive area, the control of the shape of perturbed Siegel disks is a key technique. To do it, Buff and Ch\'eritat added a restrictive condition on rotation…

We use hyperbolicity of golden-mean renormalization of dissipative H\'enon-like maps to prove that the boundaries of Siegel disks of sufficiently dissipative quadratic complex H\'enon maps with golden-mean rotation number are topological…

Recently, Xavier Buff and Arnaud Cheritat have provided an elegant proof of the existence of quadratic Siegel disks with smooth boundary. In this short note, we show how results of Yoccoz and Risler can be used to conclude the same result.…
