We give new proofs that the Mandelbrot set is locally connected at every Misiurewicz point and at every point on the boundary of a hyperbolic component. The idea is to show ``shrinking of puzzle pieces'' without using specific puzzles.…
We explore geometric properties of the Mandelbrot set M, and the corresponding Julia sets J_c, near the main cardioid. Namely, we establish that: a) M is locally connected at certain infinitely renormalizable parameters c of bounded…
For an infinitely renormalizable quadratic map $f_c: z\mapsto z^2+c$ with the sequence of renormalization periods ${k_m}$ and rotation numbers ${t_m=p_m/q_m}, we prove that if $\limsup k_m^{-1}\log |p_m|>0$, then the Mandelbrot set is…
We prove the a priori bounds for infinitely renormalizable quadratic polynomials for which we can find an infinite sequence of primitive renormalizations such that the ratios of the periods of successive renormalizations is bounded. This…
We prove combinatorial rigidity of infinitely renormalizable unicritical polynomials, P_c :z \mapsto z^d+c, with complex c, under the a priori bounds and a certain "combinatorial condition". This implies the local connectivity of the…
A decoration of the Mandelbrot set $M$ is a part of $M$ cut off by two external rays landing at some tip of a satellite copy of $M$ attached to the main cardioid. In this paper we consider infinitely renormalizable quadratic polynomials…
The famous MLC Conjecture states that the Mandelbrot set is locally connected, and it is considered by many to be the central conjecture in one-dimensional complex dynamics. Among others, it implies density of hyperbolicity in the quadratic…
In this Note, we present recent developments in the Renormalization Theory of quadratic polynomials and discuss their applications, with an emphasis on the MLC conjecture, the problem of local connectivity of the Mandelbrot set, and on its…
One of the main questions in the field of complex dynamics is the question whether the Mandelbrot set is locally connected, and related to this, for which maps the Julia set is locally connected. In this paper we shall prove the following…
The renormalization of a quadratic-like map is studied. The three-dimensional Yoccoz puzzle for an infinitely renormalizable quadratic-like map is discussed. For an unbranched quadratic-like map having the {\sl a priori} complex bounds, the…
We prove that topologically conjugate non-renormalizable polynomials are quasi-conformally conjugate. From this we derive that each such polynomial can be approximated by a hyperbolic polynomial. As a by product we prove that the Julia set…
We study the bifurcation loci of quadratic (and unicritical) polynomials and exponential maps. We outline a proof that the exponential bifurcation locus is connected; this is an analog to Douady and Hubbard's celebrated theorem that (the…
We give a framework to study the connectedness of the set of zeros of power series with coefficients in a finite subset $G\subset \mathbb{C}$. We prove that the set of zeros in the unit disk is connected and locally connected if some graph…
A frequent problem in holomorphic dynamics is to prove local connectivity of Julia sets and of many points of the Mandelbrot set; local connectivity has many interesting implications. The intention of this paper is to present a new point of…
Based on methods of structural convergence we provide a unifying view of local-global convergence, fitting to model theory and analysis. The general approach outlined here provides a possibility to extend the theory of local-global…
We will show the Mandelbrot set $M$ is locally conformally inhomogeneous: the only conformal map $f$ defined in an open set $U$ intersecting $\partial M$ and satisfying $f(U\cap\partial M)\subset \partial M$ is the identity map. The proof…
In this paper we prove a theorem describing the local topology of the boundary of a hyperbolic group in terms of its global topology: the boundary is locally simply connected if and only if the complement of any point in the boundary is…
Networks provide an informative, yet non-redundant description of complex systems only if links represent truly dyadic relationships that cannot be directly traced back to node-specific properties such as size, importance, or coordinates in…
We solve the longstanding conjecture by Milnor (1993) concerning the connectedness locus $M_1$ of the family of quadratic rational maps tangent to the identity at $\infty$. We prove that this locus in homeomorphic to the Mandelbrot set $M$…
We prove a priori bounds for Feigenbaum quadratic polynomials, i.e., infinitely renormalizable polynomials $f_c: z\mapsto z^2+c$ of bounded type. It implies local connectivity of the corresponding Julia sets $J(f_c)$ and MLC (local…
