It is well known that the Hubbard tree of a postcritically finite complex polynomial contains all the combinatorial information on the polynomial. In fact, an abstract Hubbard tree as defined in [23] uniquely determines the polynomial up to affine conjugation. In this paper we give necessary and sufficient conditions enabling one to deduce directly from the restriction of a quadratic Misiurewicz polynomial to its Hubbard tree whether the polynomial is renormalizable, and in this case, of which type....

We study the dynamics near infinity of polynomial mappings f in C2. We assume that f has indeterminacy points and is non constant on the line at infinity L∞. If L∞ is f-attracting, we decompose the Green current along itineraries defined by the indeterminacy points and their preimages. The symbolic dynamics that arises is a subshift on an infinite alphabet.

We study explicit examples of Loewner chains generated by absolutely continuous driving measures, and discuss how properties of driving measures are reflected in the shapes of the growing Loewner hulls.

Xavier Buff et Arnaud Chéritat ont montré que l’ensemble de Julia de certains polynômes quadratiques est de mesure de Lebesgue positive, répondant ainsi à une question ouverte depuis Fatou et Julia. Les polynômes en question ont un point fixe indifférent irrationnel dont le nombre de rotation doit être soigneusement déterminé. On exposera les grandes lignes de la démonstration, ainsi que d’autres résultats connexes des mêmes auteurs sur la géométrie et la taille des disques de Siegel.

In 2001, B. Malgrange defines the D-envelope or galoisian envelope of an analytical dynamical system. Roughly speaking, this is the algebraic hull of the dynamical system. In this short article, the D-envelope of a rational map R: P1 --> P1 is computed. The rational maps characterised by a finitness property of their D-envelope appear to be the integrable ones.

Given a rational function $\varphi \left(T\right)$ on ${\mathbb{P}}^1$ of degree at least 2 with coefficients in a number field $k$, we show that for each place $v$ of $k$, there is a unique probability measure ${\mu }_{\varphi ,v}$ on the Berkovich space ${\mathbb{P}}_{\mathrm{Berk},\mathrm{v}}^1/{ℂ}_v$ such that if $\left\{z_n\right\}$ is a sequence of points in ${\mathbb{P}}^1\left(\overline{k}\right)$ whose $\varphi$-canonical heights tend to zero, then the $z_n$’s and their $\mathrm{Gal}(\overline{k}/k)$-conjugates are equidistributed with respect to ${\mu }_{\varphi ,v}$.The proof uses a polynomial lift $F(x,y)=(F_1(x,y),F_2(x,y))$ of $\varphi$ to construct a two-variable Arakelov-Green’s function $g_{\varphi ,v}(x,y)$ for each $v$. The measure ${\mu }_{\varphi ,v}$ is obtained by taking the...

Let $f:{\mathbb{P}}^k\to {\mathbb{P}}^k$ be a dominating rational mapping of first algebraic degree $\lambda \ge 2$. If $S$ is a positive closed current of bidegree $(1,1)$ on ${\mathbb{P}}^k$ with zero Lelong numbers, we show – under a natural dynamical assumption – that the pullbacks ${\lambda }^{-n}{\left(f^n\right)}^{*}S$ converge to the Green current $T_f$. For some families of mappings, we get finer convergence results which allow us to characterize all $f^{*}$-invariant currents.

Let $f$ be a non-invertible holomorphic endomorphism of a projective space and $f^n$ its iterate of order $n$. We prove that the pull-back by $f^n$ of a generic (in the Zariski sense) hypersurface, properly normalized, converges to the Green current associated to $f$ when $n$ tends to infinity. We also give an analogous result for the pull-back of positive closed $(1,1)$-currents and a similar result for regular polynomial automorphisms of ${ℂ}^k$.

We establish an equidistribution result for the pull-back of a (1,1)-closed positive current in ℂ² by a proper polynomial map of small topological degree. We also study convergence at infinity on good compactifications of ℂ². We make use of a lemma that enables us to control the blow-up of some integrals in the neighborhood of a big logarithmic singularity of a plurisubharmonic function. Finally, we discuss the importance of the properness hypothesis, and we give some results in the case where this...

We prove that for Ω being an immediate basin of attraction to an attracting fixed point for a rational mapping of the Riemann sphere, and for an ergodic invariant measure μ on the boundary FrΩ, with positive Lyapunov exponent, there is an invariant subset of FrΩ which is an expanding repeller of Hausdorff dimension arbitrarily close to the Hausdorff dimension of μ. We also prove generalizations and a geometric coding tree abstract version. The paper is a continuation of a paper in Fund. Math. 145...

We show that the Fatou components of a certain transcendental entire function have a common curve in their boundaries.

This is the first part of the work studying the family $𝔉$ of all rational maps of degree three with two superattracting fixed points. We determine the topological type of the moduli space of $𝔉$ and give a detailed study of the subfamily ${ℱ}_2$ consisting of maps with a critical point which is periodic of period 2. In particular, we describe a parabolic bifurcation in ${ℱ}_2$ from Newton maps to maps with so-called exotic basins.

Using a construction similar to an iterated function system, but with functions changing at each step of iteration, we provide a natural example of a continuous one-parameter family of holomorphic functions of infinitely many variables. This family is parametrized by the compact space of positive integer sequences of prescribed growth and hence it can also be viewed as a parametric description of a trivial analytic multifunction.
