Abstract

A cubic polynomial ff with a periodic Siegel disk containing an eventual image of a critical point is said to be a \emph{Siegel capture polynomial}. If the Siegel disk is invariant, we call ff a \emph{IS-capture polynomial} (or just an IS-capture; IS stands for Invariant Siegel). We study the location of IS-capture polynomials in the parameter space of all cubic polynomials and show that any IS-capture is on the boundary of a unique hyperbolic component determined by the rational lamination of the map. We also relate IS-captures to the cubic Principal Hyperbolic Domain and its closure (by definition, the \emph{cubic Principal Hyperbolic Domain} consists of cubic hyperbolic polynomials with Jordan curve Julia sets) and prove that, in the slice of cubic polynomials given by a fixed multiplier at one of the fixed points, the closure of the cubic principal hyperbolic domain might possibly only have bounded complementary domains UU such that (1) critical points of fUf\in U are distinct and belong to J(f)J(f), and (2) J(f)J(f) has positive Lebesgue measure and carries an invariant line field.
