Following the attracting and preperiodic cases, in this paper we prove the existence of weakly repelling fixed points for transcendental meromorphic maps, provided that their Fatou set contains a multiply connected parabolic basin. We use quasi-conformal surgery and virtually repelling fixed point techniques.
Using a result due to M. Shub, a theorem about the existence of fixed points inside the unit disc for extensions of expanding maps defined on the boundary is established. An application to a special class of rational maps on the Riemann sphere and some considerations on ergodic properties of these maps are also made.
We use Beurling estimates and Zdunik's theorem to prove that the support of a lamination of the circle corresponding to a connected polynomial Julia set has zero length, unless f is conjugate to a Chebyshev polynomial. Equivalently, except for the Chebyshev case, the biaccessible points in the connected polynomial Julia set have zero harmonic measure.
We prove that for some families of entire functions whose Julia set is the complement of the basin of attraction every branch of a tree of preimages starting from this basin is convergent.
