  • ONE HUNDRED YEARS of COMPLEX DYNAMICS the Subject of Complex Dynamics, That Is, the Behaviour of Orbits of Holomorphic Functions
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Liverpool Repository ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF COMPLEX DYNAMICS MARY REES The subject of Complex Dynamics, that is, the behaviour of orbits of holomorphic functions, emerged in the papers produced, independently, by Fatou and Julia, almost 100 years ago. Although the subject of Dynami- cal Systems did not then have a name, the dynamical properties found for holomorphic systems, even in these early researches, were so striking, so unusually comprehensive, and yet so varied, that these systems still attract widespread fascination, 100 years later. The first distinctive feature of iter- ation of a single holomorphic map f is the partition of either the complex plane or the Riemann sphere into two sets which are totally invariant under f: the Julia set | closed, nonempty, perfect, with dynamics which might loosely be called chaotic | and its complement | open, possibly empty, but, if non-empty, then with dynamics which were completely classified by the two pioneering researchers, modulo a few simply stated open questions. Before the subject re-emerged into prominence in the 1980's, the Julia set was alternately called the Fatou set, but Paul Blanchard introduced the idea of calling its complement the Fatou set, and this was immediately universally accepted. Probably the main reason for the remarkable rise in interest in complex dynamics, about thirty-five years ago, was the parallel with the subject of Kleinian groups, and hence with the whole subject of hyperbolic geome- try. A Kleinian group acting on the Riemann sphere is a dynamical system, with the sphere splitting into two disjoint invariant subsets, with the limit set and its complement, the domain of discontinuity, having exactly similar properties to the Julia and Fatou sets.

  • Non-Uniform Hyperbolicity in Complex Dynamics I, II
    Non-uniform Hyperbolicity in Complex Dynamics I, II by JACEK GRACZYK 1& STANISLAV SMIRNOV2 1Universit´e de Paris-Sud, Mathematique, 91405 Orsay, France. (e-mail: [email protected]) 2Dept. of Mathematics, Royal Institute of Technology, 10044 Stockholm, Sweden. (e-mail: [email protected]) Abstract We say that a rational function F satisfies the summability condition with exponent α if for every critical point c which belongs to the Julia set J there exists a positive integer ∞ n nc −α nc so that n=1 |(F ) (F (c)| < ∞ and F has no parabolic periodic cycles. Let µmax be the maximal multiplicity of the critical points. The objective is to study the Poincar´e series for a large class of rational maps and estab- lish ergodic and regularity properties of conformal measures. If F is summable with expo- δPoin(J) Poin nent α< δPoin(J)+µmax where δ (J)isthePoincar´e exponent of the Julia set then there exists a unique, ergodic, and non-atomic conformal measure ν with exponent δPoin(J)= ∞ n nc −α HDim(J). If F is polynomially summable with the exponent α, n=1 n|(F ) (F (c)| < ∞ and F has no parabolic periodic cycles, then F has an absolutely continuous invariant measure with respect to ν. This leads also to a new result about the existence of absolutely continuous invariant measures for multimodal maps of the interval. 2 We prove that if F is summable with an exponent α< 2+µmax then the Minkowski dimension of J is strictly less than 2 if J = C and F is unstable.

  • The Ending Laminations Theorem Direct from Teichmüller Geodesics
    The Ending Laminations Theorem direct from Teichm¨uller Geodesics Mary Rees August 3, 2018 Abstract A proof of the Ending Laminations Theorem is given which uses Te- ichm¨uller geodesics directly. 1 Introduction Over 30 years ago, Scott proved the remarkable result [52], [53] that any finitely- generated fundamental group of any three-manifold N is finitely presented, and, further, that the manifold is homotopy equivalent to a compact three- dimensional submanifold with boundary. This submanifold, known as the Scott core, was shown [31] to be unique up to homeomorphism — but not, in general, up to isotopy. If, in addition, N is a hyperbolic manifold, then it is useful to consider the manifold with boundary Nd obtained by removing from N compo- nents of the ε0-thin part round cusps, for a fixed Margulis constant ε0. Sullivan [56] proved that there are only finitely many cusps. We shall call Nd the horoball deletion of N. Topologically, it does not depend on the choice of Margulis con- stant ε0, although metrically it does. There is a relative version of Scott’s result [29] which says that (N ,∂N ) is homotopy equivalent to (N ,N ∂N ) where d d c c ∩ d Nc Nd is the relative Scott core. The relative Scott core is, again, unique up to⊂ homeomorphism [30]. The closure of each component of ∂N ∂N is c \ d an orientable compact surface Sd with boundary, and is also the boundary in Nd of U(Sd), for a unique component U(Sd) of Nd Nc. The surface Sd can be any compact orientable surface with boundary apart\ from the closed disc, arXiv:math/0404007v5 [math.GT] 18 Jul 2007 annulus or torus.

Fatou and G. Julia who introduced normal families and Montel's Theorem to the subject at the beginning of the twentieth century. Indeed, these maps are the natural family of functions when considering iteration of holomorphic maps on the Riemann sphere Cb. For a given rational map f, the sphere splits into two complementary domains: the Fatou set F(f) where the family of iterates n ff (z)gn≥0 forms a normal family, and its complement, the Julia set (f). The Fatou set, when non-empty, is given by the union of, possibly, infinitely many open sets in Cb, usually called Fatou components. On the other hand, it is known that the Julia set is a closed, totally invariant, perfect non-empty set, and coincides with the closure of the set arXiv:1109.0368v2 [math.DS] 30 May 2013 of (repelling) periodic points.

POSITIVE MEASURE SETS OF ERGODIC RATIONAL MAPS MARY REES ABSTRACT. — In the set of rational maps of degree d, and in some other families, a positive measure set of ergodic maps is found. Introduction In this paper, we study rational maps of the extended complex plane, and the question of their ergodicity. The set of all rational maps of degree d is a complex manifold of complex dimension 2^+1, and hence admits a natural Lebesgue measure class, as does any submanifold. We show that, in complex submanifolds of rational maps containing at least one map with the forward orbit of each critical point finite and containing an expanding periodic point, and satisfying a simple non-degeneracy condition, the set of maps, which are ergodic with respect to Lebesgue measure on C U { oo}, has positive Lebesgue measure.

  • A Dynamical Meaning of Fractal Dimension 697
    TRANSACTIONS OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 292. Number 2. December 1985 A DYNAMICALMEANING OF FRACTALDIMENSION BY STEVE PELIKAN Abstract. When two atlractors of a dynamical system have a common basin boundary B, small changes in initial conditions which lie near B can result in radically different long-term behavior of the trajectory. A quantitative description of this phenomenon is obtained in terms of the fractal dimension of the basin boundary B. Introduction. This paper contains theorems concerning the fractal dimension of certain invariant sets of dynamical systems. Rather than computing the dimension of invariant sets, we describe a phenomenon observed in a variety of systems which admits a quantitative description in terms of the fractal dimension of an invariant set. The sets of interest form a boundary between the basins of attraction of two attractors. The map /: R -» R shown in Figure 1 provides a good example. The map / has two attracting fixed points, A and B. Almost every initial condition x0eR tends to one of these two points under the action of /. The exceptions to this rule are the points of a Cantor set A contained in [0,1]. In §2 we consider the following question. Suppose x and v are chosen at random from [0,1] subject only to the condition \x - y\< e. What is the probability pe that x and y tend to different attractors? If / describes a physical system this question can be phrased as: Suppose there is a uniform e-error in determining the initial conditions of the system. What is the probability that our prediction of the long-term behavior of the system will be incorrect? We show (Theorem 2) that pt tends to zero like el~d as e goes to zero, where d is the Hausdorff dimension of A.

  • The Conformal Measures of a Normal Subgroup of a Cocompact Fuchsian Group
    The conformal measures of a normal subgroup of a cocompact Fuchsian group Ofer Shwartz Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel November 19, 2019 Abstract In this paper, we study the conformal measures of a normal sub- group of a cocompact Fuchsian group. In particular, we relate the extremal conformal measures to the eigenmeasures of a suitable Ru- elle operator. Using Ancona's theorem, adapted to the Ruelle oper- ator setting, we show that if the group of deck transformations G is hyperbolic then the extremal conformal measures and the hyperbolic boundary of G coincide. We then interpret these results in terms of the asymptotic behavior of cutting sequences of geodesics on a regular cover of a compact hyperbolic surface. 1 Introduction Let D = fz 2 C : jzj < 1g be the open hyperbolic unit disc and let @D = fz 2 C : jzj = 1g. Let Γ be a Fuchsian group (a discrete subgroup of M¨obius transformations) which preserves D. We denote by δ(Γ) the critical exponent arXiv:1911.07797v1 [math.DS] 18 Nov 2019 of Γ (see definition in Section 2.5). A finite measure µ on @D is said to be (Γ; δ)-conformal if for every γ 2 Γ, d(µ ◦ γ) = jγ0jδ: dµ We denote by Conf(Γ; δ) the collection of (Γ; δ)-conformal measures and by ext(Conf(Γ; δ)) the extremal points of Conf(Γ; δ). Conformal measures have many applications in hyperbolic geometry: 1 • Geodesic-flow-invariant measures: If µ1; µ2 are two (Γ; δ)-conformal − + − + dµ1(ξ )dµ2(ξ )dt measures then the measure m(ξ ; ξ ; t) = jjξ−−ξ+jj2δ projects to a geodesic-flow-invariant measure on T 1(D=Γ) (the unit tangent bundle of D=Γ), see [5].
