We show that, if the Julia set of a transcendental entire function is locally connected, then it takes the form of a spider's web in the sense defined by Rippon and Stallard. In the opposite direction, we prove that a spider's web Julia set…

Building on recent work by Rippon and Stallard, we explore the intricate structure of the spider's web fast escaping sets associated with certain transcendental entire functions. Our results are expressed in terms of the components of the…

We construct several new classes of transcendental entire functions, f, such that both the escaping set, I(f), and the fast escaping set, A(f), have a structure known as a spider's web. We show that some of these classes have a degree of…

Let $f$ be Fatou's function, that is, $f(z)= z+1+e^{-z}$. We prove that the escaping set of $f$ has the structure of a `spider's web' and we show that this result implies that the non-escaping endpoints of the Julia set of $f$ together with…

We study the dynamics of a collection of families of transcendental entire functions which generalises the well-known exponential and cosine families. We show that for functions in many of these families the Julia set, the escaping set and…

Suppose that $f$ is a transcendental entire function. In 2014, Rippon and Stallard showed that the union of the escaping set with infinity is always connected. In this paper we consider the related question of whether the union with…

We show that the fast escaping set $A(f)$ of a transcendental entire function $f$ has a structure known as a spider's web whenever the maximum modulus of $f$ grows below a certain rate. We give examples of entire functions for which the…

For many transcendental entire functions, the escaping set has the structure of a Cantor bouquet, consisting of uncountably many disjoint curves. Rippon and Stallard showed that there are many functions for which the escaping set has a new…

Let $f$ be a transcendental entire function and let $A(f)$ denote the set of points that escape to infinity `as fast as possible' under iteration. By writing $A(f)$ as a countable union of closed sets, called `levels' of $A(f)$, we obtain a…

The fast escaping set, A(f), of a transcendental entire function f has begun to play a key role in transcendental dynamics. In many cases A(f) has the structure of a spider's web, which contains a sequence of fundamental loops. We…

If $f:\mathbb{R}^3 \to \mathbb{R}^3$ is a uniformly quasiregular mapping with Julia set $J(f)$ a genus $g$ Cantor set, for $g\geq 1$, then for any linearizer $L$ at any repelling periodic point of $f$, the fast escaping set $A(L)$ consists…

Consider the entire function $f(z)=\cosh(z)$. We show that the escaping set of this function - that is, the set of points whose orbits tend to infinity under iteration - has a structure known as a "spider's web". This disproves a conjecture…

The fast escaping set of a transcendental entire function is the set of all points which tend to infinity under iteration as fast as compatible with the growth of the function. We study the analogous set for quasiregular mappings in higher…

There are several classes of transcendental entire functions for which the Julia set consists of an uncountable union of disjoint curves each of which joins a finite endpoint to infinity. Many authors have studied the topological properties…

We study the different rates of escape of points under iteration by holomorphic self-maps of $\mathbb C^*=\mathbb C\setminus\{ 0\}$ for which both 0 and $\infty$ are essential singularities. Using annular covering lemmas we construct…

We consider the dynamics of transcendental self-maps of the punctured plane, $\mathbb{C}^*=\mathbb{C}\setminus \{0\}$. We prove that the escaping set $I(f)$ is either connected, or has infinitely many components. We also show that $I(f)\cup…

Much recent work on the iterates of a transcendental entire function $f$ has been motivated by Eremenko's conjecture that all the components of the escaping set $I(f)$ are unbounded. Here we show that if $I(f)$ is disconnected, then the set…

The family of exponential maps $f_a(z)= e^z+a$ is of fundamental importance in the study of transcendental dynamics. Here we consider the topological structure of certain subsets of the Julia set $J(f_a)$. When $a\in (-\infty,-1)$, and more…

The Fatou-Julia iteration theory of rational and transcendental entire functions has recently been extended to quasiregular maps in more than two real dimensions. Our goal in this paper is similar; we extend the iteration theory of analytic…

We study the iteration of transcendental self-maps of $\mathbb{C}^*:=\mathbb{C}\setminus \{0\}$, that is, holomorphic functions $f:\mathbb{C}^*\to\mathbb{C}^*$ for which both zero and infinity are essential singularities. We use…
