Dynamics of cubic Siegel polynomials (Q1817760)

This interesting paper deals with the one-parameter family of cubic polynomials \(P_c(z)= \lambda z(1-\frac 12 (1+\frac 1c)z+ \frac{1}{3c} z^2)\), where \(c\neq 0\), \(\lambda= e^{2i\pi\vartheta}\), and \(0< \vartheta<1\) is a given irrational number of Bryuno type. Every cubic polynomial of this form has a Siegel disk centered in the origin. The main result of this work is that when \(\vartheta\) is of bounded type, the boundary of the Siegel disk is a quasi-circle which contains one or both critical points of the cubic polynomial. Further, the parameter space \({\mathfrak P}^{cm}(\vartheta)\) of so-called critically marked cubic polynomials with a Siegel disk of a given rotation number \(\vartheta\) of Bryuno type is introduced. The \({\mathfrak P}^{cm}(\vartheta)\) is canonically isomorphic to the punctured plane \(\mathbb{C}^*\). As the analogy of the Mandelbrot set for the quadratic family is defined a subset \({\mathfrak M}(\vartheta)\subset {\mathfrak P}^{cm}(\vartheta)\), of all cubics with both critical orbits bounded. Finally the author proves that the set of all such cubics in \({\mathfrak P}^{cm}(\vartheta)\), which have both critical points on the boundary of their Siegel disk, is a Jordan curve in \({\mathfrak P}^{cm}(\vartheta)\).
