In this paper geometric properties of infinitely renormalizable real H\'enon-like maps $F$ in $\R^2$ are studied. It is shown that the appropriately defined renormalizations $R^n F$ converge exponentially to the one-dimensional…
We confirm a conjecture of Friedland and Milnor: if two polynomial automorphisms f and g in Aut(C^2) with dynamical degree >1 are conjugate by some holomorphic diffeomorphism \phi of C^2, then \phi is a polynomial automorphism; thus, f and…
It is shown that the boundary of the Mandelbrot set $M$ has Hausdorff dimension two and that for a generic $c \in \bM$, the Julia set of $z \mapsto z^2+c$ also has Hausdorff dimension two. The proof is based on the study of the bifurcation…
We prove several new rigidity results for polynomial automorphisms of $\mathbb C^2$ with positive entropy. A first result is that a complex slice of the (forward or backward) Julia set is never a smooth, or even rectifiable, curve. We also…
We study rational functions satisfying summability conditions - a family of weak conditions on the expansion along the critical orbits. Assuming their appropriate versions, we derive many nice properties: There exists a unique, ergodic, and…
A diffeomorphism f has a heterodimensional cycle if it displays two (transitive) hyperbolic sets K and K' with different indices such that the unstable set of K intersects the stable one of K' and vice versa. We prove that it is possible to…
We explore the connected/disconnected dichotomy for the Julia set of polynomial automorphisms of C^2. We develop several aspects of the question, which was first studied by Bedford-Smillie. We introduce a new sufficient condition for the…
We consider sequences of compositions of quadratic polynomials $f_{c_n} (z) = z^2 + c_n$. For such sequences one can naturally generalize the definitions of the Julia set and basin of infinity from the autonomous case. In this setting the…
The paper is devoted to the description of changes of the structure of the holomorphic automorphism group of a bounded domain in ${\Bbb C}^n$ under small perturbation of this domain in the Hausdorff metric. We consider a number of examples…
It is shown that the Hausdorff dimension of the fast escaping set of a quasiregular self-map of ${\mathbb R}^3$ can take any value in the interval $[1,3]$. The Hausdorff dimension of the Julia set of such a map is estimated under some…
Bowen's formula relates the Hausdorff dimension of a conformal repeller to the zero of a `pressure' function. We present an elementary, self-contained proof which bypasses measure theory and the Thermodynamic Formalism to show that Bowen's…
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 consider the dynamics of semi-hyperbolic semigroups generated by finitely many rational maps on the Riemann sphere. Assuming that the nice open set condition holds it is proved that there exists a geometric measure on the Julia set with…
We consider a partially hyperbolic C1-diffeomorphism f on a smooth compact manifold M with a uniformly compact f-invariant center foliation. We show that if the unstable bundle is one-dimensional and oriented, then the holonomy of the…
The automorphisms of a two-generator free group acting on the space of orientation-preserving isometric actions of on hyperbolic 3-space defines a dynamical system. Those actions which preserve a hyperbolic plane but not an orientation on…
Let $f\colon M^{2n}\to\mathbb{R}^{2n+p}$ denote an isometric immersion of a Kaehler manifold of complex dimension $n\geq 2$ into Euclidean space with codimension $p$. If $2p\leq 2n-1$, we show that generic rank conditions on the second…
We consider the family of entire maps given by $f_{\ell,c}(z)=\ell+c-(\ell-1)\log c-e^z$, where $c\in D(\ell,1)$ and $\ell\in\mathbb N$, $\ell\geq2$. By using the property of $f_{\ell,c}$ to be dynamically projected to an infinite cylinder…
Any Jordan curve in the complex plane can be approximated arbitrarily well in the Hausdorff topology by Julia sets of polynomials. Finite collections of disjoint Jordan domains can be approximated by the basins of attraction of rational…
In this article, we investigate the boundary of the escaping set I(f) for quasiregular mappings on R^n, both in the uniformly quasiregular case and in the polynomial type case. The aim is to show that the boundary of I(f) is the Julia set…
This paper introduces the concept of average conformal hyperbolic sets, which admit only one positive and one negative Lyapunov exponents for any ergodic measure. For an average conformal hyperbolic set of a C1 diffeomorphism, utilizing the…
