On s’intéresse aux difféomorphismes birationnels des surfaces algébriques réelles qui possèdent une dynamique réelle simple et une dynamique complexe riche. On donne un exemple d’une telle transformation sur ${\mathbb{P}}^1\times {\mathbb{P}}^1$, mais on montre qu’une telle situation est exceptionnelle et impose des conditions fortes à la fois sur la topologie du lieu réel et sur la dynamique réelle.

We try to find a geometric interpretation of the wedge product of positive closed laminar currents in C2. We say such a wedge product is geometric if it is given by intersecting the disks filling up the currents. Uniformly laminar currents do always intersect geometrically in this sense. We also introduce a class of strongly approximable laminar currents, natural from the dynamical point of view, and prove that such currents intersect geometrically provided they have continuous potentials.

We study the dynamics of a map generated via geometric circle inversion. In particular, we define multiple circle inversion and investigate the dynamics of such maps and their corresponding Julia sets.

Let ${\left(f_{\lambda }\right)}_{\lambda \in \Lambda }$ be a holomorphic family of rational mappings of degree $d$ on ${\mathbb{P}}^1\left(ℂ\right)$, with $k$ marked critical points $c_1,...,c_k$. To this data is associated a closed positive current $T_1\wedge \cdots \wedge T_k$ of bidegree $(k,k)$ on $\Lambda$, aiming to describe the simultaneous bifurcations of the marked critical points. In this note we show that the support of this current is accumulated by parameters at which $c_1,...,c_k$ eventually fall on repelling cycles. Together with results of Buff, Epstein and Gauthier, this leads to a complete characterization of $\mathrm{Supp}(T_1\wedge \cdots \wedge T_k)$.

We show that for critically non-recurrent rational functions all the definitions of topological pressure proposed in [12] coincide for all t ≥ 0. Then we study in detail the Gibbs states corresponding to the potentials -tlog|f'| and their σ-finite invariant versions. In particular we provide a sufficient condition for their finiteness. We determine the escape rates of critically non-recurrent rational functions. In the presence of parabolic points we also establish a polynomial rate of appropriately...

For a class of one-dimensional holomorphic maps f of the Riemann sphere we prove that for a wide class of potentials φ the topological pressure is entirely determined by the values of φ on the repelling periodic points of f. This is a version of a classical result of Bowen for hyperbolic diffeomorphisms in the holomorphic non-uniformly hyperbolic setting.

It is well-known that the set of buried points of a Julia set of a rational function (also called the residual Julia set) is topologically “fat” in the sense that it is a dense $G_{\delta }$ if it is non-empty. We show that it is, in many cases, a full-measure subset of the Julia set with respect to conformal measure and the measure of maximal entropy. We also address Hausdorff dimension of buried points in the same cases, and discuss connectivity and topological dimension of the set of buried points. Finally,...

We describe the well studied process of renormalization of quadratic polynomials from the point of view of their natural extensions. In particular, we describe the topology of the inverse limit of infinitely renormalizable quadratic polynomials and prove that when they satisfy a priori bounds, the topology is rigid modulo combinatorial equivalence.

We give an explicit upper bound for the number of isolated intersections between an integral curve of a polynomial vector field in ${ℝ}^n$ and an algebraic hypersurface. The answer is polynomial in the height (the magnitude of coefficients) of the equation and the size of the curve in the space-time, with the exponent depending only on the degree and the dimension.The problem turns out to be closely related to finding an explicit upper bound for the length of ascending chains of polynomial ideals spanned...

In this paper we study branched coverings of metrized, simplicial trees $F:T\to T$ which arise from polynomial maps $f:ℂ\to ℂ$ with disconnected Julia sets. We show that the collection of all such trees, up to scale, forms a contractible space $\mathbb{P}{T}_D$ compactifying the moduli space of polynomials of degree $D$; that $F$ records the asymptotic behavior of the multipliers of $f$; and that any meromorphic family of polynomials over ${\Delta }^{*}$ can be completed by a unique tree at its central fiber. In the cubic case we give a combinatorial...

In this article, we study the notion oí virtually repelling fixed point. We first give a definition and an interpretation of it. We then prove that most proper holomorphic mappings f: U -> V with U contained in V have at least one virtually repelling fixed point.
