We give a geometric description of the parabolic bifurcation locus in the space $\operatorname{Rat}_d$ of all rational functions on $\mathbb{P}^1$ of degree $d>1$, generalizing the study by Morton and Vivaldi in the case of monic…
A cubic polynomial $P$ with a non-repelling fixed point $b$ is said to be \emph{immediately renormalizable} if there exists a (connected) quadratic-like invariant filled Julia set $K^*$ such that $b\in K^*$. In that case exactly one…
The goal of this paper is to investigate the parameter plane of a rational family of perturbations of the doubling map given by the Blaschke products $B_a(z)=z^3\frac{z-a}{1-\bar{a}z}$. First we study the basic properties of these maps such…
We prove the existence of Cantor Julia sets with Hausdorff dimension two. In particular, such examples can be found in cubic polynomials. The proof is based on the characterization of the parameter spaces and dynamical planes of cubic…

Using Lavaurs maps and near-parabolic renormalization, we describe the degenerating geometry of external rays for quadratic polynomials when a periodic cycle becomes parabolic. We similarly describe the geometry of parameter rays for the…
Fluid instabilities arise in a variety of contexts and are often unwanted results of engineering imperfections. In one particular model for a magnetized target fusion reactor, a pressure wave is propagated in a cylindrical annulus comprised…
Hyperbolic numbers are a variation of complex numbers, but their dynamics is quite different. The hyperbolic Mandelbrot set for quadratic functions over hyperbolic numbers is simply a filled square, and the filled Julia set for hyperbolic…

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…
In this paper we introduce the notion of parabolic-like mapping, which is an object similar to a polynomial-like mapping, but with a parabolic external class, i.e. an external map with a parabolic fixed point. We prove a straightening…
According to the Thurston No Wandering Triangle Theorem, a branching point in a locally connected quadratic Julia set is either preperiodic or precritical. Blokh and Oversteegen proved that this theorem does not hold for higher degree Julia…
We study a one parameter family of cubic self-inversive polynomials that "envelope" conic sections in the following sense. Provided the three roots of the polynomial lie on the unit circle, when you draw the triangle connecting the roots,…

The \textit{parabolic scalar curvature equation} is a reaction-diffusion type equation on an $(n-1)$-manifold $\Sigma$, the time variable of which shall be denoted by $r$. Given a function $R$ on $[r_0,r_1)\times\Sigma$ and a family of…
Let $d(c)$ denote the Hausdorff dimension of the Julia set $J_c$ of the polynomial $f_c(z)=z^2+c$. We will investigate behavior of the function $d(c)$ when real parameter $c$ tends to a parabolic parameter.
