Extending Rational Maps

چکیده
We investigate when a rational endomorphism of the Riemann sphere C extends to a mapping of the upper half-space H3 which is rational with respect to some measurable conformal structure. Such an extension has the property that it and all its iterates have uniformly bounded distortion. Such maps are called uniformly quasiregular. We show that, in the space of rational mappings of degree d, such an extension is possible in the structurally stable component where there is a single (attracting) component of the Fatou set and the Julia set is a Cantor set. We show that generally outside of this set no such extension is possible. In particular, polynomials can never admit such an extension.

Contact Formulas for Rational Plane Curves via Stable Maps
Extending techniques of [4], we use stable maps, and their stable lifts to the Semple bundle variety of second-order curvilinear data, to calculate certain characteristic numbers for rational plane curves. These characteristic numbers involve first-order (tangency) and second-order (inflectional) conditions. Although they may be virtual, they may be used as inputs in an enumeratively significan...
متن کاملMultidegrees of Monomial Rational Maps
We prove a formula for the multidegrees of a rational map defined by generalized monomials on a projective variety, in terms of integrals over an associated Newton region. This formula leads to an expression of the multidegrees as volumes of related polytopes, in the spirit of the classical Bernstein-Kouchnirenko theorem, but extending the scope of these formulas to more general monomial maps. ...
متن کاملDynamics of Siegel Rational Maps with Prescribed Combinatorics
We extend Thurston’s combinatorial criterion for postcritically finite rational maps to a class of rational maps with bounded type Siegel disks. The combinatorial characterization of this class of Siegel rational maps plays a special role in the study of general Siegel rational maps. As one of the applications, we prove that for any quadratic rational map with a bounded type Siegel disk, the bo...
متن کاملMean Value Conjectures for Rational Maps
Let p be a polynomial in one complex variable. Smale’s mean value conjecture estimates |p′(z)| in terms of the gradient of a chord from (z, p(z)) to some stationary point on the graph of p. The conjecture does not immediately generalise to rational maps since its formulation is invariant under the group of affine maps, not the full Möbius group. Here we give two possible generalisations to rati...
متن کاملFrontiers in complex dynamics
Rational maps on the Riemann sphere occupy a distinguished niche in the general theory of smooth dynamical systems. First, rational maps are complexanalytic, so a broad spectrum of techniques can contribute to their study (quasiconformal mappings, potential theory, algebraic geometry, etc.) The rational maps of a given degree form a finite dimensional manifold, so exploration of this parameter ...
