One of the fundamental properties of the Mandelbrot set is that the set of postcritically finite parameters is structured like a tree. We extend this result to the set of quadratic kneading sequences and show that this space contains no…

We investigate the behavior of itinerary sequence of each point of the Julia set of $z\mapsto z^2 + c$ when the parameter $c$ in the shift locus is allowed to pass through points in the bifurcation locus $\mathcal{P}_2$, which we call…

We study the parameter space structure of degree $d \ge 3$ one complex variable polynomials as dynamical systems acting on $\C$. We introduce and study {\it straightening maps}. These maps are a natural higher degree generalization of the…

The boundaries of the hyperbolic components of odd period of the multicorns contain real-analytic arcs consisting of quasi-conformally conjugate parabolic parameters. One of the main results of this paper asserts that the Hausdorff…

We give a new proof that all external rays of the Mandelbrot set at rational angles land, and of the relation between the external angle of such a ray and the dynamics at the landing point. Our proof is different from the original one,…

We consider H\"older continuous cocycles over an accessible partially hyperbolic system with values in the group of diffeomorphisms of a compact manifold $M$. We obtain several results for this setting. If a cocycle is bounded in…

Let c be a real parameter in the Mandelbrot set, and f_c(z):= z^2 + c. We prove a formula relating the topological entropy of f_c to the Hausdorff dimension of the set of rays landing on the real Julia set, and to the Hausdorff dimension of…

We investigate with the help of Clifford algebraic methods the Mandelbrot set over arbitrary two-component number systems. The complex numbers are regarded as operator spinors in D\times spin(2) resp. spin(2). The thereby induced (pseudo)…

In complex dynamics, the boundaries of higher dimensional hyperbolic components in holomorphic families of polynomials or rational maps are mysterious objects, whose topological and analytic properties are fundamental problems. In this…

Using computer graphics and visualization algorithms, we extend in this work the results obtained analytically in [1], on the connectivity domains of alternated Julia sets, defined by switching the dynamics of two quadratic Julia sets. As…

The purpose of this article is to investigate geometric properties of the parameter locus of the H\'enon family where the uniform hyperbolicity of a horseshoe breaks down. As an application, we obtain a variational characterization of…

We introduce an analog in the context of rational maps of the idea of hyperbolic Dehn surgery from the theory of Kleinian groups. A surgery sequence is a sequence of postcritically finite maps limiting (in a precise manner) to a…

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 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 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…

For any integers $d\ge 3$ and $n\ge 1$, we construct a hyperbolic rational map of degree $d$ such that it has $n$ cycles of the connected components of its Julia set except single points and Jordan curves.

Let $H^d$ be the set of all rational maps of degree $d\ge 2$ on the Riemann sphere which are expanding on Julia set. We prove that if $f\in H^d$ and all or all but one critical points (or values) are in the immediate basin of attraction to…

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…

In this article, we consider hyperbolic rational maps restricted on thier Julia sets and study about the recurrence rate of typical orbits in arbitrarily small neighbourhoods around them and their relationship to the Hausdorff dimension of…

We study the hyperbolic components of the family $\mathrm{Sk}(p,d)$ of regular polynomial skew-products of $\mathbb{C}^2$ of degree $d\geq2$, with a fixed base $p\in\mathbb{C}[z]$. Using a homogeneous parametrization of the family, we…
