Rational maps with Fatou components of arbitrarily large connectivity (Q1754565)

The number of connectivity of Fatou sets is a very interesting question in the field of dynamics of holomorphic maps. It is well known that the periodic Fatou components have connectivity 1, 2 or \(\infty\). However, it is not clear what the number of connectivity of pre-periodic Fatou components should be. \textit{I. N. Baker} et al. [Ergodic Theory Dyn. Syst. 11, No. 4, 603--618 (1991; Zbl 0774.30023)] proved that for any \(n\in \mathbb N\) there exists a rational map or a transcendental map with pre-periodic Fatou components of connectivity \(n\). Later on, explicit examples of rational maps with such properties have been found. However, the degree of the found rational maps increase with \(n\). In this paper, the author studies a family of singular perturbations of the family of Blaschke product \[ B_{a,\lambda}(z)=z^3\frac{z-a}{1-az}+\frac{\lambda}{z^2}, \] with fixed degree and proves that there exists maps in this family that have Fatou components of arbitrarily large connectivity.
