The Parabolic Mandelbrot Set

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 $M$ and that the homeomorphism is unique, provided it identifies maps that are "hybridly" conjugate on their filled-in Julia set. Moreover this homeomorphism from $M$ to $M_1$ is nowhere H\"older on the boundary and so can not have even locally a quasi-conformal extension to complements.
