The asymptotic behaviour of the solutions of Poincar\'e's functional equation $f(\lambda z)=p(f(z))$ ($\lambda>1$) for $p$ a real polynomial of degree $\geq2$ is studied in angular regions of the complex plain. The constancy of an occurring…

The second author proved that the set of post-critically finite polynomials of given degree is a set of bounded height, up to change of variables. Motivated by an observation about unicritical polynomials, we complement this by proving that…

Suppose $f$ and $g$ are two post-critically finite polynomials of degree $d_1$ and $d_2$ respectively and suppose both of them have a finite super-attracting fixed point of degree $d_0$. We prove that one can always construct a rational map…

For Bernoulli site percolation on an infinite, connected, locally finite graph $G=(V,E)$, we obtain quantitative upper bounds on the supercritical disconnection probability \[ \mathbb{P}_p(S\nleftrightarrow\infty) \] for arbitrary finite or…

In this article we address the following question, whose interest was recently renewed by problems arising in arithmetic dynamics: under which conditions does there exist a local biholomorphism between the Julia sets of two given…

The modulus of a polynomial-like (PL) map is an important invariant that controls distortion of the straightening map and, hence, geometry of the corresponding PL Julia set. Lower bounds on the modulus, called complex a priori bounds, are…

We continue the study of constructing invariant Laplacians on Julia sets, and studying properties of their spectra. In this paper we focus on two types of examples: 1) Julia sets of cubic polynomials $z^3 + c$ with a single critical point;…

Given a family $\{ f_{\lambda} \}_{\lambda \in \Lambda}$ of polynomial maps of degree $d$ where $\Lambda$ is the set of parameters, a polynomial map $f_{\lambda_0}$ is called {\it $J$-stable in $\Lambda$} if there exists a neighborhood of…

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 study the closure of the cubic Principal Hyperbolic Domain and its intersection $\mathcal{P}_\lambda$ with the slice $\mathcal{F}_\lambda$ of the space of all cubic polynomials with fixed point $0$ defined by the multiplier $\lambda$ at…

In this paper, we consider the family of rational maps $$\F(z) = z^n + \frac{\la}{z^d},$$ where $n \geq 2$, $d\geq 1$, and$\la \in \bbC$. We consider the case where $\la$ lies in the main cardioid of one of the $n-1$ principal Mandelbrot…

We relate periodic and recurrent points in dendritic Julia sets. This generalizes well-known results for interval dynamics.

Let f be a transcendental entire map that is subhyperbolic, i.e., the intersection of the Fatou set F(f) and the postsingular set P(f) is compact and the intersection of the Julia set J(f) and P(f) is finite. Assume that no asymptotic value…

In recent years, there has been significant progress in the understanding of the dynamics of transcendental entire functions with bounded postsingular set. In particular, for certain classes of such functions, a complete description of…

Let $f_n$ be a random polynomial of degree $n$ with i.i.d. mean-zero and finite variance random coefficients. It is well known that the roots of $f_n$ cluster uniformly around the unit circle as $n$ grows large. We give a simple and…

Let f be a rational function such that the multipliers of all repelling periodic points are real. We prove that the Julia set of such a function belongs to a circle. Combining this with a result of Fatou we conclude that whenever J(f)…

It is known that the disconnected Julia set of any polynomial map does not contain buried Julia components. But such Julia components may arise for rational maps. The first example is due to Curtis T. McMullen who provided a family of…

Following the ideas of A.~Douady, we give an alternative proof of the authors' result: for any boundary point $c_0$ of the Mandelbrot set $M$, we can find small quasiconformal copies of $M$ in $M$ that are encaged in nested quasiconformal…

The Frankl or Union-Closed Sets conjecture states that for any finite union-closed family of sets $\mathcal{F}$ containing some nonempty set, there is some element $i$ in the ground set $U(\mathcal F) := \bigcup_{S \in \mathcal{F}} S$ of…

Given a critically periodic quadratic map with no secondary renormalizations, we introduce the notion of $Q$-recurrent quadratic polynomials. We show that the pieces of the principal nest of a $Q$-recurrent map $f_c$ converge in shape to…
