We survey known results about polynomial mating, and pose some open problems.

On The Notions of Mating

Carsten Lunde Petersen, Daniel Meyer (2012)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Similarity:

The different notions of matings of pairs of equal degree polynomials are introduced and are related to each other as well as known results on matings. The possible obstructions to matings are identified and related. Moreover the relations between the polynomials and their matings are discussed and proved. Finally holomorphic motion properties of slow-mating are proved.

Twisted matings and equipotential gluings

Xavier Buff, Adam L. Epstein, Sarah Koch (2012)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Similarity:

One crucial tool for studying postcritically finite rational maps is Thurston’s topological characterization of rational maps. This theorem is proved by iterating a holomorphic endomorphism on a certain Teichmüller space. The graph of this endomorphism covers a correspondence on the level of moduli space. In favorable cases, this correspondence is the graph of a map, which can be used to study matings. We illustrate this by way of example: we study the mating of the basilica with itself. ...

Intertwined internal rays in Julia sets of rational maps

Robert L. Devaney (2009)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We show how the well-known concept of external rays in polynomial dynamics may be extended throughout the Julia set of certain rational maps. These new types of rays, which we call internal rays, meet the Julia set in a Cantor set of points, and each of these rays crosses infinitely many other internal rays at many points. We then use this construction to show that there are infinitely many disjoint copies of the Mandelbrot set in the parameter planes for these maps.

Tan Lei and Shishikura’s example of non-mateable degree 3 polynomials without a Levy cycle

Arnaud Chéritat (2012)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Similarity:

After giving an introduction to the procedure dubbed and quickly recalling known results about more classical notions of polynomial mating, we show conformally correct pictures of the slow mating of two degree 3 post critically finite polynomials introduced by Shishikura and Tan Lei as an example of a non matable pair of polynomials without a Levy cycle. The pictures show a limit for the Julia sets, which seems to be related to the Julia set of a degree 6 rational map. We give a conjectural...

Matings and the other side of the dictionary

John Hubbard (2012)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Similarity:

In the theory of rational maps an important role is played by . These are probably the best understood of all rational functions, but they are bizarre, and involve gluing dendrites together to get spheres carrying Peano curves. In the theory of Kleinian groups, there is a parallel construction, the construction of , that is central to Thurston’s hyperbolization theorem for 3-manifolds that fiber over the circle with pseudo-Anosov monodromy. It also involves gluing dendrites and Peano...
