Abstract: The core entropy of polynomials, recently introduced by W. Thurston, is a dynamical invariant which can be defined purely in combinatorial terms, and provides a useful tool to study parameter spaces of polynomials. The theory of core entropy extends to complex polynomials the entropy theory for real unimodal maps: the real segment is replaced by an invariant tree, known as Hubbard tree, which lives inside the filled Julia set. We prove that the core entropy of quadratic polynomials varies continuously as a function of the external angle, answering a question of Thurston.

Review text

The core entropy of a post-critically finite quadratic polynomial is defined as the entropy of the mapping induced on its Hubbard tree. The setting of the paper is to consider the core entropy on the boundary of the Mandelbrot set as a function of the external angle, restricted to be rational by definition. The core entropy is expressed through the leading eigenvalue of a transition matrix which in turn can be constructed directly from the doubling map on external angles. The proof then proceeds through some graph theory. Other than the continuity mentioned in the title of the article, the core entropy is Hölder continuous at a given external angle if and only if its value at that angle is positive.
