The Dynamics of Semigroups of Rational Functions I

چکیده
This paper is concerned with a generalisation of the classical theory of the dynamics associated to the iteration of a rational mapping of the Riemann sphere, to the more general setting of the dynamics associated to an arbitrary semigroup of rational mappings. We are partly motivated by results of Gehring and Martin which show that certain parameter spaces for KJeinian groups are essentially the stable basins of infinity for certain polynomial semigroups. Here we discuss the structure of the Fatou and Julia sets and their basic properties. We investigate to what extent Sullivan's 'no wandering domains' theorem remains valid. We obtain a complete generalisation of the classical results concerning classification of basins and their associated dynamics under an algebraic hypothesis analogous to the group-theoretical notion of 'virtually abelian'. We show that, in general, polynomial semigroups can have wandering domains. We put forward some conjectures regarding what we believe might be true. We also prove a theorem about the existence of filled in Julia sets for certain polynomial semigroups with specific applications to the theory of Kleinian groups in mind.

We investigate the random dynamics of rational maps on the Riemann sphere Ĉ and the dynamics of semigroups of rational maps on Ĉ. We see that the both fields are related to each other very deeply. We investigate spectral properties of transition operators and the dynamics of associated semigroups of rational maps. We define several kinds of Julia sets of the associated Markov processes and we s...

متن کاملThe Equilibrium States for Semigroups of Rational Maps
In this paper, we frequently use the notation from [S1]. A “rational semigroup” G is a semigroup generated by non-constant rational maps g : CI → CI, where CI denotes the Riemann sphere, with the semigroup operation being functional composition. For a rational semigroup G, we set F (G) := {z ∈ CI | G is normal in a neighborhood of z} and J(G) := CI \ F (G). F (G) is called the Fatou set of G an...
متن کاملDecomposition of H*-Algebra Valued Negative Definite Functions on Topological *-Semigroups
In the present paper, among other results, a decomposition formula is given for the w-bounded continuous negative definite functions of a topological *-semigroup S with a weight function w into a proper H*-algebra A in terms of w-bounded continuous positive definite A-valued functions on S. A generalization of a well-known result of K. Harzallah is obtained. An earlier conjecture of the author ...
