Baker's conjecture states that a transcendental entire function of order less than $1/2$ has no unbounded Fatou components. It is known that, for such functions, there are no unbounded periodic Fatou components and so it remains to show…

We consider the transcendental entire function $ f(z)=z+e^{-z} $, which has a doubly parabolic Baker domain $U$ of degree two, i.e. an invariant stable component for which all iterates converge locally uniformly to infity, and for which the…

Let $f$ be a transcendental entire function and let $U$ be a univalent Baker domain of $f$. We prove a new result about the boundary behaviour of conformal maps and use this to show that the non-escaping boundary points of $U$ form a set of…

We show that there is a transcendental meromorphic function with an invariant Baker domain $U$ such that every singular value of $f$ is a super-attracting periodic point. This answers a question of Bergweiler from 1993. We also show that…

We consider transcendental entire functions having doubly parabolic Baker domains, such that the Denjoy-Wolff point of the associated inner function is not a singularity. We describe in a very precise way the dynamics on the boundary from a…

We introduce a new technique that allows us to make progress on two long standing conjectures in transcendental dynamics: Baker's conjecture that a transcendental entire function of order less than 1/2 has no unbounded Fatou components, and…

We show that there exists an entire function without finite asymptotic values for which the associated Newton function tends to infinity in some invariant domain. The question whether such a function exists had been raised by Douady.

Let $f(z) = \sum_{k=0}^\infty a_k z^k$ be an analytic function in a disk $D_R$ of radius $R>0$, and assume that $f$ is $p$-valent in $D_R$, i.e. it takes each value $c\in{\mathbb C}$ at most $p$ times in $D_R$. We consider its Borel…

Let f be a real entire function whose set S(f) of singular values is real and bounded. We show that, if f satisfies a certain function-theoretic condition (the "sector condition"), then $f$ has no wandering domains. Our result includes all…

A Baker omitted value, in short \textit{bov} of a transcendental meromorphic function $f$ is an omitted value such that there is a disk $D$ centered at the bov for which each component of the boundary of $f^{-1}(D)$ is bounded. Assuming all…

We define Baker omitted value, in short bov, of an entire or meromorphic function f in the complex plane as an omitted value for which there exists r0 > 0 such that for each ball Dr(a) centered at a and with radius r satisfying 0 < r < r0,…

We study attracting orbits escaping to infinity in natural families of transcendental entire functions. We show that, if an attracting fixed point escapes to infinity while its multiplier tends to one, then the limiting function has a…

We introduce a new approximation technique into the context of complex dynamics that allows us to construct examples of transcendental entire functions with unbounded wandering domains. We provide examples of entire functions with an orbit…

Iteration of the function $f_\lambda(z)=\lambda + z+\tan z, z \in \mathbb{C}$ is investigated in this article. It is proved that for every $\lambda$, the Fatou set of $f_\lambda$ has a completely invariant Baker domain $B$; we call it the…

We show that there exists an entire function f without zeros for which the associated Newton function N(z)=z-f(z)/f'(z) is a transcendental meromorphic functions without Baker domains. We also show that there exists an entire function f…

Let $f$ be a transcendental entire function, and let $U,V\subset\mathbb{C}$ be disjoint simply-connected domains. Must one of $f^{-1}(U)$ and $f^{-1}(V)$ be disconnected? In 1970, Baker implicitly gave a positive answer to this question, in…

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…

We classify transcendental entire functions that are compositions of a polynomial and the exponential for which all singular values escape on disjoint rays. We focus on the case where the escape is degenerate in the sense that points from…

The dynamics of transcendental functions in the complex plane has received a significant amount of attention. In particular much is known about the description of Fatou components. Besides the types of periodic Fatou components that can…

Let f be a transcendental entire function that omits a complex value a. We show that for every simply connected region D that does not contain a the full preimage of D is disconnected. We conjecture that the same holds if one only assumes…
