We give an alternative way to construct an entire function with quasiconformal surgery so that all its Fatou components are quasi-circles but the Julia set is non-locally connected.
Let $P$ be a polynomial with a connected Julia set $J$. We use continuum theory to show that it admits a emph{finest monotone map $ph$ onto a locally connected continuum $J_{sim_P}$}, i.e. a monotone map $ph:Jto J_{sim_P}$ such that for any other monotone map $psi:Jto J$ there exists a monotone map $h$ with $psi=hcirc ph$. Then we extend $ph$ onto the complex plane $C$ (keeping the same notation) and show that $ph$ monotonically semiconjugates $P|_{C}$ to a emph{topological polynomial $g:Cto C$}. If $P$ does not have Siegel or Cremer periodic points this gives an alternative proof of Kiwis fundamental results on locally connected models of dynamics on the Julia sets, but the results hold for all polynomials with connected Julia sets. We also give a criterion and a useful sufficient condition for the map $ph$ not to collapse $J$ into a point.
We construct the first examples of rational functions defined over a non-archimedean field with certain dynamical properties. In particular, we find such functions whose Julia sets, in the Berkovich projective line, are connected but not contained in a line segment. We also show how to compute the measure-theoretic and topological entropy of such maps. In particular, we show for some of our examples that the measure-theoretic entropy is strictly smaller than the topological entropy, thus answering a question of Favre and Rivera-Letelier.
Using quasiconformal surgery, we prove that any primitive, postcritically-finite hyperbolic polynomial can be tuned with an arbitrary generalized polynomial with non-escaping critical points, generalizing a result of Douady-Hubbard for quadratic polynomials to the case of higher degree polynomials. This solves affirmatively a conjecture by Inou and Kiwi on surjectivity of the renormalization operator on higher degree polynomials in one complex variable.
It is known that the dynamics of $f$ and $g$ vary to a large extent from that of its composite entire functions. Using Approximation theory of entire functions, we have shown the existence of entire functions $f$ and $g$ having infinite number of domains satisfying various properties and relating it to their composition. We have explored and enlarged all the maximum possible ways of the solution in comparison to the past result worked out.
We show that a homeomorphism of a semi-locally connected compact metric space is equicontinuous if and only if the distance between the iterates of a given point and a given subcontinuum (not containing that point) is bounded away from zero. This is false for general compact metric spaces. Moreover, homeomorphisms for which the conclusion of this result holds satisfy that the set of automorphic points contains those points where the space is not semi-locally connected.
