We initiate a parametric study of holomorphic families of polynomial skew products, i.e., polynomial endomorphisms of $mathbb{C}^2$ of the form $F(z,w)= (p(z), q(z,w))$ that extend to holomorphic endomorphisms of $mathbb{P}^2(mathbb{C})$. We prove that dynamical stability in the sense of arXiv:1403.7603 preserves hyperbolicity within such families, and give a complete classification of the hyperbolic components that are the analogue, in this setting, of the complement of the Mandelbrot set for the family $z^2 +c$. We also precisely describe the geometry of the bifurcation locus and current near the boundary of the parameter space. One of our tools is an asymptotic equidistribution property for the bifurcation current. This is established in the general setting of families of endomorphisms of $mathbb{P}^k$ and is the first equidistribution result of this kind for holomorphic dynamical systems in dimension larger than one.
We continue our investigation of the parameter space of families of polynomial skew products. Assuming that the base polynomial has a Julia set not totally disconnected and is neither a Chebyshev nor a power map, we prove that, near any bifurcation parameter, one can find parameters where $k$ critical points bifurcate emph{independently}, with $k$ up to the dimension of the parameter space. This is a striking difference with respect to the one-dimensional case. The proof is based on a variant of the inclination lemma, applied to the postcritical set at a Misiurewicz parameter. By means of an analytical criterion for the non-vanishing of the self-intersections of the bifurcation current, we deduce the equality of the supports of the bifurcation current and the bifurcation measure for such families. Combined with results by Dujardin and Taflin, this also implies that the support of the bifurcation measure in these families has non-empty interior.As part of our proof we construct, in these families, subfamilies of codimension 1 where the bifurcation locus has non empty interior. This provides a new independent proof of the existence of holomorphic families of arbitrarily large dimension whose bifurcation locus has non empty interior. Finally, it shows that the Hausdorff dimension of the support of the bifurcation measure is maximal at any point of its support.
We examine iteration of certain skew-products on the bidisk whose components are rational inner functions, with emphasis on simple maps of the form $Phi(z_1,z_2) = (phi(z_1,z_2), z_2)$. If $phi$ has degree $1$ in the first variable, the dynamics on each horizontal fiber can be described in terms of Mobius transformations but the global dynamics on the $2$-torus exhibit some complexity, encoded in terms of certain $mathbb{T}^2$-symmetric polynomials. We describe the dynamical behavior of such mappings $Phi$ and give criteria for different configurations of fixed point curves and rotation belts in terms of zeros of a related one-variable polynomial.
We prove that any diffeomorphism of a compact manifold can be C^1-approximated by a diffeomorphism which exhibits a homoclinic bifurcation (a homoclinic tangency or a heterodimensional cycle) or by a diffeomorphism which is partially hyperbolic (its chain-recurrent set splits into partially hyperbolic pieces whose centre bundles have dimensions less or equal to two). We also study in a more systematic way the central models introduced in arXiv:math/0605387.
Let $f:mathcal{X}to S$ be a proper holomorphic submersion of complex manifolds and $G$ a complex reductive linear algebraic group with Lie algebra $mathfrak{g}$. Assume also given a holomorphic principal $G$-bundle $mathcal{P}$ over $mathcal{X}$ which is endowed with a holomorphic connection $ abla$ relative to $f$ that is flat (this to be thought of as a holomorphic family of compact complex manifolds endowed with a holomorphic principal $G$-bundle with flat connection). We show that a refinement of the Chern-Weil homomorphism yields a graded algebra homomorphism $mathbb{C}[mathfrak{g}]^Gto bigoplus_{nge 0} H^0(S,,Omega^n_{S,cl}otimes R^nf_*mathbb{C})$, where $Omega^n_{S,cl}$ stands for the sheaf of closed holomorphic $n$-forms on $S$. If the fibers of $f$ are compact Riemann surfaces and we take as our invariant the Killing form, then we recover Goldmans closed holomorphic $2$-form on the base $S$.
For every $minmathbb{N}$, we establish the equidistribution of the sequence of the averaged pull-backs of a Dirac measure at any given value in $mathbb{C}setminus{0}$ under the $m$-th order derivatives of the iterates of a polynomials $fin mathbb{C}[z]$ of degree $d>1$ towards the harmonic measure of the filled-in Julia set of $f$ with pole at $infty$. We also establish non-archimedean and arithmetic counterparts using the potential theory on the Berkovich projective line and the adelic equidistribution theory over a number field $k$ for a sequence of effective divisors on $mathbb{P}^1(overline{k})$ having small diagonals and small heights. We show a similar result on the equidistribution of the analytic sets where the derivative of each iterate of a Henon-type polynomial automorphism of $mathbb{C}^2$ has a given eigenvalue.
