Oka' s inequality for currents and applications.
For a polynomial with one critical point (maybe multiple), which does not have attracting or neutral periodic orbits, we prove that the backward dynamics is stable provided the Julia set is locally connected. The latter is proved to be equivalent to the non-existence of a wandering continuum in the Julia set or to the shrinking of Yoccoz puzzle-pieces to points.
We prove that each degree two quasiregular polynomial is conjugate to Q(z) = z² - (p+q)|z|² + pqz̅² + c, |p| < 1, |q| < 1. We also show that the complexification of Q can be extended to a polynomial endomorphism of ℂℙ² which acts as a Blaschke product (z-p)/(1-p̅z) · (z-q)/(1-q̅z) on ℂℙ²∖ℂ². Using this fact we study the dynamics of Q under iteration.
A proof of the C⁰-closing lemma for noninvertible discrete dynamical systems and its extension to the noncompact case are presented.
