We give a topological model of the critical locus for complex H\'{e}non maps that are perturbations of the quadratic polynomial with disconnected Julia set.

We study Henon maps which are perturbations of a hyperbolic polynomial p with connected Julia set. We give a complete description of the critical locus of these maps. In particular, we show that for each critical point c of p, there is a…

We prove a version of the classical $\lambda$-lemma for holomorphic families of Riemann surfaces. We then use it to show that critical loci for complex H\'{e}non maps that are small perturbations of quadratic polynomials with Cantor Julia…

We consider the structure of substantially dissipative complex H\'enon maps admitting a dominated splitting on the Julia set. The dominated splitting assumption corresponds to the one-dimensional assumption that there are no critical points…

We give a new proof of a theorem of Hubbard-Oberste-Vorth [HOV2] for H\'enon maps that are perturbations of a hyperbolic polynomial and recover the Julia set $J^{+}$ inside a polydisk as the image of the fixed point of a contracting…

We consider the family of quadratic H\'enon diffeomorphisms of the plane ${\bf R}^2$. A map will be said to be a "horseshoe" if its restriction to the nonwandering set is hyperbolic and conjugate to the full 2-shift. We give a criterion for…

We consider polynomial maps $f:\C\to\C$ of degree $d\ge 2$, or more generally polynomial maps from a finite union of copies of $\C$ to itself which have degree two or more on each copy. In any space $\p^{S}$ of suitably normalized maps of…

We prove John Hubbard's conjecture on the topological complexity of the hyperbolic horseshoe locus of the complex H\'enon map. Indeed, we show that there exist several non-trivial loops in the locus which generate infinitely many mutually…

We prove some new continuity results for the Julia sets $J$ and $J^{+}$ of the complex H\'enon map $H_{c,a}(x,y)=(x^{2}+c+ay, ax)$, where $a$ and $c$ are complex parameters. We look at the parameter space of dissipative H\'enon maps which…

We obtain a unique, canonical one-to-one correspondence between the space of marked postcritically finite Newton maps of polynomials and the space of postcritically minimal Newton maps of entire maps that take the form $p(z)…

Consider the parameter space $\mathcal{P}_{\lambda}\subset \mathbb{C}^{2}$ of complex H\'enon maps $$ H_{c,a}(x,y)=(x^{2}+c+ay,ax),\ \ a\neq 0 $$ which have a semi-parabolic fixed point with one eigenvalue $\lambda=e^{2\pi i p/q}$. We give…

For any polynomial map with a single critical point, we prove that its lower Lyapunov exponent at the critical value is negative if and only if the map has an attracting cycle. Similar statement holds for the exponential maps and some other…

Consider the standard family of complex H\'enon maps $H(x,y) = (p(x) - ay, x)$, where $p$ is a quadratic polynomial and $a$ is a complex parameter. Let $U^{+}$ be the set of points that escape to infinity under forward iterations. The…

We study the dynamics of the H\'enon map defined over complete, locally compact non-Archimedean fields of odd residue characteristic. We establish basic properties of its one-sided and two-sided filled Julia sets, and we determine, for each…

We prove that several dynamically defined fractals in $\mathbb{C}$ and $\mathbb{C}^2$ which arise from different type of polynomial dynamical systems can not be the same objects. One of our main results is that the closure of Misiurewicz…

We prove that horn maps associated to quadratic semi-parabolic fixed points of H\'enon maps, first introduced by Bedford, Smillie, and Ueda, satisfy a weak form of the Ahlfors island property. As a consequence, two natural definitions of…

For area-preserving H\'enon-like maps and their compositions, we consider smooth perturbations that keep the reversibility of the initial maps but destroy their conservativity. For constructing such perturbations, we use two methods, the…

In this study, a theory analogous to both the theories of polynomial-like mappings and Smale's real horseshoes is developed for the study of the dynamics of mappings of two complex variables. In partial analogy with polynomials in a single…

The eigenvector expansion developed in the preceding paper for a system of damped linear oscillators is extended to critical points, where eigenvectors merge and the time-evolution operator $H$ assumes a Jordan-block structure. The…

We consider the complexification of the Henon family of quadratic diffeomorphisms of the plane, and the region of parameter space corresponding to complex horseshoes. We discuss some conjectures about the global topology of the complex…
