Mating quadratic maps with the modular group II (Q2304171)

The authors investigate some dynamical properties of the family of \((2:2)\) holomorphic correspondences on the Riemann sphere which have the form \(\mathcal{F}_a:z \to w\), where \[ \left(\frac{az+1}{z+1}\right)^2+\left(\frac{az+1}{z+1}\right)\left(\frac{aw-1}{w-1}\right)+\left(\frac{aw-1}{w-1}\right)^2=3, \] for a parameter \(a\in \mathbb{C}\), \(a\ne 1\). They show that matings between the modular group and rational maps in the parabolic quadratic family \(\mathrm{Per}_1(1)\) provide a model so that every member of the family \(\mathcal{F}_a\) which has \(a\) in the connectedness locus is such a mating. They also prove that every \(\mathcal{F}_a\) with \(a\) in the {Klein combination locus} \(\mathcal K\) can be surgically modified to become a single-valued \textit{parabolic-like} map on a neighbourhood of the backward limit set \(\Lambda_{a,-}\).
