چکیده

We describe an algorithm for distinguishing hyperbolic components in the parameter space of quadratic rational maps with a periodic critical point. We then illustrate computer images of the hyperbolic components of the parameter spaces V1 − V4, which were produced using our algorithm. We also resolve the singularities of the projective closure of V5 by blowups, giving an alternative proof that as an algebraic curve, the geometric genus of V5 is 1. This explains why we are unable to produce an image for V5.

Topological Models for Some Quadratic Rational Maps

Consider a quadratic rational self-map of the Riemann sphere such that one critical point is periodic of period 2, and the other critical point lies on the boundary of its immediate basin of attraction. We will give explicit topological models for all such maps. We also discuss the corresponding parameter picture. Stony Brook IMS Preprint #2007/1 February 2007

Rational quadratic - flux minimizing circles for area - preserving twist maps

By considering families of periodic pseudo-orbits on the cylindrical phase space of an area-preserving twist map, we construct curves of rational rotation number that are critical points of a non-negative error norm (the mean-square action gradient or "quadratic flux"). Two alternative angle-parametrizations of the curves are presented and numerical evidence is given that the curves possess the...

A Partial Description of the Parameter Space of Rational Maps of Degree Two: Part 2

This continues the investigation of a combinatorial model for the variation of dynamics in the family of rational maps of degree two, by concentrating on those varieties in which one critical point is periodic. We prove some general results about nonrational critically finite degree two branched coverings, and finally identify the boundary of the rational maps in the combinatorial model, thus c...

Unfolding of Chaotic Quadratic Maps — Parameter Dependence of Natural Measures

Abstract. We consider perturbations of quadratic maps fa admitting an absolutely continuous invariant probability measure, where a is in a certain positive measure set A of parameters, and show that in any neighborhood of any such an fa, we find a rich fauna of dynamics. There are maps with periodic attractors as well as non-periodic maps whose critical orbit is absorbed by the continuation of ...
