Critical heights on the moduli space of polynomials (Q610680)

The article continues the study initiated by \textit{B. Branner} and \textit{J. H. Hubbard} [Acta Math. 160, No. 3--4, 143--206 (1988; Zbl 0668.30008); ibid. 169, No. 3--4, 229--325 (1992; Zbl 0812.30008)] of the global structure of the moduli space of polynomials \(f: \mathbb{C}\to\mathbb{C}\) determined by the dynamics on the basin of infinity \(X(f)= \{z\in\mathbb{C}: f^n(z)\to\infty\) as \(n\to\infty\}\). To a pair \((f,X(f))\) is associated analytic invariants like the uniformized Böttcher coordinates of critical points and combinatorial invariants such as the tree \(T(f)\). Here the authors investigate the extent to which such invariants determine the dynamics of the polynomial \(f\) on its basin of infinity.
