TL;DR
The paper surveys the dynamics of real quadratic maps, emphasizing ergodic and topological perspectives and detailing the two-dimensional Hénon case. It then investigates complex quadratic maps under holomorphic and nonholomorphic singular perturbations, analyzing m=1, m=2, and m≥3 regimes to reveal a spectrum of Julia-set topologies (unit-disk limits, Cantor sets, Sierpiński curves, McMullen domains) and contrasting parameter-plane structures. Through this, it connects invariant measures, hyperbolicity, and renormalization with intricate fractal dynamics, highlighting both established results (e.g., ACIMs, exponential mixing) and rich perturbative phenomena. The work underscores the distinct behaviors induced by holomorphic versus nonholomorphic perturbations and points to substantial avenues for further theoretical development and generalization.
