Tessellation and Lyubich-Minsky laminations associated with quadratic maps, I: Pinching semiconjugacies

Tomoki Kawahira

Abstract

We introduce tessellation of the filled Julia sets for hyperbolic and parabolic quadratic maps. Then the dynamics inside their Julia sets are organized by tiles which work like external rays outside. We also construct continuous families of pinching semiconjugacies associated with hyperblic-to-parabolic degenerations without using quasiconformal deformation. Instead we use tessellation and investigation on the hyperbolic-to-parabolic degeneration of linearizing coordinates inside the Julia sets.

Key Result

Theorem 1.1

Let $(f \to g)$ be a degeneration pair. There exist families $\mathrm{Tess}(f)$ and $\mathrm{Tess}(g)$ of simply connected sets with the following properties: The properties above holds if we replace $f$ by $g$. Moreover:

  • Figure 1: Chubby rabbits
  • Figure 2: Samples of tessellation. For the two figures at the upper left, parameters are taken from period 12 and 4 hyperbolic components of the Mandelbrot set as indicated in the figure of a small Mandelbrot set.
  • Figure 3: Left, the Julia set of an $f$ in segment (s2) for $p/q=1/3$, and right, one in segment (s1), with their degenerating arc system roughly drawn in. Attracting cycles are shown in heavy dots. Degenerating arcs with types ${\left\{ 1/7, 2/7/ 4/7 \right\}}$ and ${\left\{ 1/28, 23/28, 25/28 \right\}}$ are emphasized.
