چکیده
We demonstrate that the question whether or not a given topological ramified covering map of the 2-sphere is Thurston equivalent to a rational map is algorithmically decidable.

The Thurston Type Theorem for Branched Coverings of Two-Sphere
I give a survey about a program which intends to find topological characterizations of a rational map and then use them to study the rigidity problem for rational maps. Thurston started this program by considering critically finite branched coverings and gave a necessary and sufficient combinatorial condition for a critically finite rational maps among all critically finite branched coverings. ...
متن کاملAlgorithmic aspects of branched coverings
This is the announcement, and the long summary, of a series of articles on the algorithmic study of Thurston maps. We describe branched coverings of the sphere in terms of group-theoretical objects called bisets, and develop a theory of decompositions of bisets. We introduce a canonical “Levy” decomposition of an arbitrary Thurston map into homeomorphisms, metrically-expanding maps and maps dou...
متن کاملGeometrization of Sub-hyperbolic Semi-rational Branched Coverings
Given a sub-hyperbolic semi-rational branched covering which is not CLH-equivalent a rational map, it must have the non-empty canonical Thurston obstruction. By using this canonical Thurston obstruction, we decompose this dynamical system in this paper into several sub-dynamical systems. Each of these subdynamical systems is either a post-critically finite type branched covering or a sub-hyperb...
متن کاملA Decomposition Theorem for Herman Maps
In 1980s, Thurston established a topological characterization theorem for postcritically finite rational maps. In this paper, a decomposition theorem for a class of postcritically infinite branched covering termed ‘Herman map’ is developed. It’s shown that every Herman map can be decomposed along a stable multicurve into finitely many Siegel maps and Thurston maps, such that the combinations an...
متن کاملCanonical Thurston Obstructions for Sub-hyperbolic Semi-rational Branched Coverings
We prove that the canonical Thurston obstruction for a sub-hyperbolic semi-rational branched covering exists if the branched covering is not CLH-equivalent to a rational map.
