Wandering Polygons and Recurrent Critical Leaves

چکیده
Let T be a finite subset of the complex unit circle S, and define f : S 7→ S by f(z) = z. Let CH(T ) denote the convex hull of T. If card(T ) = N ≥ 3, then CH(T ) defines a polygon with N sides. The N -gon CH(T ) is called a wandering N -gon if for every two non-negative integers i 6= j, CH(f (T )) and CH(f (T )) are disjoint N -gons. A non-degenerate chord of S is said to be critical if its two endpoints have the same image under f. Then for a critical chord, it is natural to define its (forward) orbit by the forward iterates of the endpoints. Similarly, call a critical chord recurrent if one of its endpoints is recurrent under f. The main result of our study is that a wandering N -gon has at least N − 1 recurrent critical chords in its limit set (defined in a natural way) having pairwise disjoint, infinite orbits. Using this result, we are able to strengthen results of Blokh, Kiwi and Levin about wandering polygons of laminations. We also discuss some applications to the dynamics of polynomials. In particular, our study implies that if v is a wandering non-precritical vertex of a locally connected polynomial Julia set, then there exists at least ord(v)− 1 recurrent critical points with pairwise disjoint orbits, all having the same ω-limit set as v. Thus, we likewise strengthen results about wandering vertices of polynomial Julia sets.

Wandering Fatou Components and Algebraic Julia Sets
We study the dynamics of polynomials with coefficients in a nonArchimedean field L, where L is the completion of an algebraic closure of the field of formal Laurent series. We prove that every wandering Fatou component is contained in the basin of a periodic orbit. We give a dynamical characterization of polynomials having algebraic Julia sets. More precisely, we establish that a polynomial wit...
متن کاملAbsence of Line Fields and Mañé’s Theorem for Non-recurrent Transcendental Functions
Let f : C → Ĉ be a transcendental meromorphic function. Suppose that the finite part P(f)∩C of the postsingular set of f is bounded, that f has no recurrent critical points or wandering domains, and that the degree of pre-poles of f is uniformly bounded. Then we show that f supports no invariant line fields on its Julia set. We prove this by generalizing two results about rational functions to ...
متن کاملWandering Spleen Presenting as Recurrent Pancreatitis
INTRODUCTION A wandering spleen occurs when there is a laxity of the ligaments that fix the spleen in its normal anatomical position. CASE REPORT We present the case of a wandering spleen in a 20-year-old female who presented with recurrent pancreatitis and underwent a laparoscopic splenectomy. DISCUSSION The presentation of a wandering spleen varies from an asymptomatic mass to splenic inf...
متن کاملSplenorenal Collaterals as Hallmark for a Twisted Wandering Spleen in a 14-Year-Old Girl with Abdominal Pain: A Case Report
Wandering spleen is a rare cause of acute or chronic recurrent abdominal pain with a risk of splenic torsion and infarction. We describe a case of a 14-year-old girl with chronic recurrent abdominal pain with a palpable spleen in normal position on the initial physical examination. Laboratory findings were normal. A normal blood flow was seen on the initial (color Doppler) sonography. Magnetic ...
