We show that if $P$ is a quadratic polynomial with a fixed Cremer point and Julia set $J$, then for any monotone map $ph:Jto A$ from $J$ onto a locally connected continuum $A$, $A$ is a single point.
In general, little is known about the exact topological structure of Julia sets containing a Cremer point. In this paper we show that there exist quadratic Cremer Julia sets of positive area such that for a full Lebesgue measure set of angles the imp
ressions are degenerate, the Julia set is connected im kleinen at the landing points of these rays, and these points are contained in no other impression.
Let $P$ be a polynomial of degree $d$ with a Cremer point $p$ and no repelling or parabolic periodic bi-accessible points. We show that there are two types of such Julia sets $J_P$. The emph{red dwarf} $J_P$ are nowhere connected im kleinen and such
that the intersection of all impressions of external angles is a continuum containing $p$ and the orbits of all critical images. The emph{solar} $J_P$ are such that every angle with dense orbit has a degenerate impression disjoint from other impressions and $J_P$ is connected im kleinen at its landing point. We study bi-accessible points and locally connected models of $J_P$ and show that such sets $J_P$ appear through polynomial-like maps for generic polynomials with Cremer points.
A. Sannami constructed an example of the differentiable Cantor set embedded in the real line whose difference set has a positive measure. In this paper, we generalize the definition of the difference sets for sets of the two dimensional Euclidean spa
ce as the sets of vectors between two sets, and estimate their measures. For the quadratic map Q_c(z)=z^2+c, we obtain that the measure of the difference set of its Julia set vanishes if |c|>3+sqrt{3}.
We give an introduction to buried points in Julia sets and a list of questions about buried points, written to encourage aficionados of topology and dynamics to work on these questions.
