Slices of the Parameter Space of Cubic Polynomials
Transactions of the American Mathematical Society. 2022. Vol. 375. No. 8. P. 5313-5359.
In this paper, we study slices of the parameter space of cubic polynomials, up to affine conjugacy, given by a fixed value of the multiplier at a non-repelling fixed point. In particular, we study the location of the main cubioid in this parameter space. The main cubioid is the set of affine conjugacy classes of complex cubic polynomials that have certain dynamical properties generalizing those of polynomials z^2 + c for c in the filled main cardioid.

To investigate the degree $d$ connectedness locus, Thurston studied $\sigma_d$-invariant laminations, where $\sigma_d$ is the $d$-tupling map on the unit circle, and built a topological model for the space of quadratic polynomials $f(z) = z^2 +c$. In the spirit of Thurston's work, we consider the space of all cubic symmetric polynomials $f_\lambda(z)=z^3+\lambda^2 z$ in a series of three articles. In ...

Complex 1-variable polynomials with connected Julia sets and only repelling periodic points are called dendritic. By results of Kiwi, any dendritic polynomial is semi-conjugate to a topological polynomial whose topological Julia set is a dendrite. We construct a continuous map of the space of all cubic dendritic polynomials onto a laminational model that is a ...

The so-called “pinched disk” model of the Mandelbrot set is due to A. Douady, J. H. Hubbard and W. P. Thurston. It can be described in the language of geodesic laminations. The combinatorial model is the quotient space of the unit disk under an equivalence relation that, loosely speaking, “pinches” the disk in the plane ...

A cubic polynomial $P$ with a non-repelling fixed point $b$ is said to be immediately renormalizable if there exists a (connected) QL invariant filled Julia set $K^*$ such that $b\in K^*$. In that case, exactly one critical point of $P$ does not belong to $K^*$. We show that if, in addition, the Julia set of $P$ has no (pre)periodic cutpoints, then ...

Holomorphic renormalization plays an important role in complex polynomial dynamics. We consider invariant continua that are not polynomial-like Julia sets because of extra critical points. However, under certain assumptions, these invariant continua can be identified with Julia sets of lower degree polynomials up to a topological conjugacy. Thus we extend the concept of renormalization. ...

We interpret the combinatorial Mandelbrot set in terms of quadratic laminations (equivalence relations ∼ on the unit circle invariant under σ2). To each lamination we associate a particular geolamination (the collection L∼ of points of the circle and edges of convex hulls of ∼-equivalence classes) so that the closure of the set of all of ...

We prove fixed point results for branched covering maps f of the plane. For complex polynomials P with Julia set J_P these imply that periodic cutpoints of some invariant subcontinua of J_P are also cutpoints of J_P. We deduce that, under certain assumptions on invariant subcontinua Q of J_P, every Riemann ray to Q landing ...

The paper deals with cubic 1-variable polynomials whose Julia sets are connected. Fixing a bounded type rotation number, we obtain a slice of such polynomials with the origin being a fixed Siegel point of the specified rotation number. Such slices as parameter spaces were studied by S. Zakeri, so we call them Zakeri slices. We ...

Local similarity between the Mandelbrot set and quadratic Julia sets manifests itself in a variety of ways. We discuss a combinatorial one, in the language of geodesic laminations. More precisely, we compare quadratic invariant
laminations representing Julia sets with the so-called Quadratic Minor Lamination (QML) representing a locally connected model of the Mandelbrot set. Similarly to the construction of ...

W. Thurston constructed a combinatorial model of the Mandelbrot set M2M2such that there is a continuous and monotone projection of M2M2to this model. We propose the following related model for the space MD3MD3of critically marked cubic polynomials with connected Julia set and all cycles repelling. If (P,c1,c2)∈MD3(P,c1,c2)∈MD3, then every point z in the Julia set ...

We establish a version of the Pommerenke–Levin–Yoccoz inequality for the modulus of a polynomial-like (PL) restriction of a polynomial and give two applications. First we show that if the modulus of a PL restriction of a polynomial is bounded from below then this restricts the combinatorics of the polynomial. The second application concerns parameter slices ...

Polynomials from the closure of the principal hyperbolic domain of the cubic connectedness locus have some specific properties, which were studied in a recent paper by the authors. The family of (affine conjugacy classes of) all polynomials with these properties is called the Main Cubioid. In this paper, we describe a combinatorial counterpart of the ...

The connectedness locus in the parameter space of quadratic polynomials is called the Mandelbrot set. A good combinatorial model of this set is due to Thurston. By definition, the principal hyperbolic domain of the Mandelbrot set consists of parameter values, for which the corresponding quadratic polynomials have an attracting fixed point. The closure of the ...

The paper deals with Newton maps of complex exponential functions and a surgery tool developed by P. Haissinsky. The concept of "Postcritically minimal" Newton maps of complex exponential functions are introduced, analogous to postcritically finite Newton maps of polynomials. The dynamics preserving mapping is constructed between the space of postcritically finite Newton maps of polynomials ...

We study Thurston equivalence classes of quadratic post-critically finite branched coverings. For these maps, we introduce and study invariant spanning trees. We give a computational procedure for searching for invariant spanning trees. This procedure uses bisets over the fundamental group of a punctured sphere. We also introduce a new combinatorial invariant of Thurston classes—the ivy ...

A small perturbation of a quadratic polynomial with a non-repelling fixed point gives a polynomial with an attracting fixed point and a Jordan curve Julia set, on which the perturbed polynomial acts like angle doubling. However, there are cubic polynomials with a non-repelling fixed point, for which no perturbation results into a polynomial with Jordan ...

We prove fixed point results for branched covering maps f of the plane. For complex polynomials P with Julia set J_P these imply that periodic cutpoints of some invariant subcontinua of J_P are also cutpoints of JP. We deduce that, under certain assumptions on invariant subcontinua Q of J_P, every Riemann ray to Q landing at a periodic repelling/parabolic point x∈Q is isotopic to a Riemann ray to J_P relative to Q. ...

A cubic polynomial with a marked fixed point 0 is called an IS-capture polynomial if it has a Siegel disk D around 0 and if D contains an eventual image of a critical point. We show that any IS-capture polynomial is on the boundary of a unique bounded hyperbolic component of the polynomial parameter space determined by the rational lamination of ...
