Hyperbolic components of rational maps: quantitative equidistribution and counting

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let Lambda be a quasi-projective variety and assume that, either Lambda is a subvariety of the moduli space mathcalMd of degree d rational maps, or Lambda parametrizes an algebraic family (flambda)lambdainLambda of degree d rational maps on mathbbP1. We prove the equidistribution of parameters having p distinct neutral cycles towards the p-th bifurcation current letting the periods of the cycles go to infty, with an exponential speed of convergence. We deduce several fundamental consequences of this result on equidistribution and counting of hyperbolic components. A key step of the proof is a locally uniform version of the quantitative approximation of the Lyapunov exponent of a rational map by the log+ of the modulus of the multipliers of periodic points.


The paper focuses on the parameter space of rational functions. Let \(\Lambda\) be a quasi-projective variety and assume that, either \(\Lambda\) is a subvariety of the moduli space \(M_d\) of degree \(d\) rational maps, or \(\Lambda\) parametrizes an algebraic family \((f_\lambda)_{\lambda\in \Lambda}\) of degree \(d\) rational maps. It is proved that the equidistribution of parameters having \(p\) distinct neutral cycles towards the bifurcation current \(T_{bif}^p\) letting the periods of the cycles go to \(\infty\), with an exponential speed of convergence. This enables the authors to give: (1) a precise asymptotic estimate of the number of hyperbolic components of parameters admitting \(2d-2\) distinct attracting cycles of exact periods \(n_1, \ldots, d_{2d-2}\) as \(\min_j n_j\to \infty\); (2) a characterization of hyperbolic components such that all (finite) critical points are in the immediate basins of (not necessarily distinct) attracting cycles of respective exact periods \(n_1, \ldots, d_{2d-2}\). The number of these components, counted with multiplicity, having at least two critical points are in the same basin of attraction; (3) a proof of the equidistribution of the centers of the hyperbolic components admitting \(2d-2\) distinct attracting cycles of exact periods \(n_1, \ldots, d_{2d-2}\) towards the bifurcation measure with an exponential speed of convergence; (4) a proof of the equidistribution of the parameters having \(p\) distinct cycles of given multipliers towards the bifurcation current \(T_{bif}^p\).
