We study the Julia sets for some periodic meromorphic maps, namely the maps of the form $f\left(z\right)=h\left(exp\frac{2\pi i}{T}z\right)$ where h is a rational function or, equivalently, the maps $˜f\left(z\right)=exp\left(\frac{2\pi i}{h}\left(z\right)\right)$. When the closure of the forward orbits of all critical and asymptotic values is disjoint from the Julia set, then it is hyperbolic and it is possible to construct the Gibbs states on J(˜f) for -α log |˜˜f|. For ˜α = HD(J(˜f)) this state is equivalent to the ˜α-Hausdorff measure or to the ˜α-packing measure provided ˜α is greater or smaller than 1....

We give the first example of a transitive quadratic map whose real and complex geometric pressure functions have a high-order phase transition. In fact, we show that this phase transition resembles a Kosterlitz-Thouless singularity: Near the critical parameter the geometric pressure function behaves as $x\mapsto \exp \left(–x^{–2}\right)$ near $x=0$, before becoming linear. This quadratic map has a non-recurrent critical point, so it is non-uniformly hyperbolic in a strong sense.

Let $ℱ$ be a holomorphic foliation by curves on ${\mathbb{P}}^3$. We treat the case where the set $Sing\left(ℱ\right)$ consists of disjoint regular curves and some isolated points outside of them. In this situation, using Baum-Bott’s formula and Porteuos’theorem, we determine the number of isolated singularities, counted with multiplicities, in terms of the degree of $ℱ$, the multiplicity of $ℱ$ along the curves and the degree and genus of the curves.

We provide a full classification of postcritically finite polynomials as dynamical systems by means of Hubbard trees. The information encoded in these objects is solid enough to allow us recover all the relevant statical and dynamical aspects of the corresponding Julia sets.

We describe the structure of the hyperbolic components of the parameter plane of the complex exponential family, as started in [1]. More precisely, we label each component with a parameter plane kneading sequence, and we prove the existence of a hyperbolic component for any given such sequence. We also compare these sequences with the more commonly used dynamical kneading sequences.

Let $f$ be a dominant rational map of ${\mathbb{P}}^k$ such that there exists $s\<k$ with ${\lambda }_s\left(f\right)\>{\lambda }_l\left(f\right)$ for all $l$. Under mild hypotheses, we show that, for $A$ outside a pluripolar set of $\mathrm{Aut}\left({\mathbb{P}}^k\right)$, the map $f\circ A$ admits a hyperbolic measure of maximal entropy $log{\lambda }_s\left(f\right)$ with explicit bounds on the Lyapunov exponents. In particular, the result is true for polynomial maps hence for the homogeneous extension of $f$ to ${\mathbb{P}}^{k+1}$. This provides many examples where non uniform hyperbolic dynamics is established.One of the key tools is to approximate the graph of a meromorphic...
