Quadratic rational maps with a 2-cycle of Siegel disks (Q2158888)

The authors study one-parameter family of quadratic rational maps of the form \[ f_{\alpha}(z)=\alpha\frac{1+e^{2\pi i\theta}z}{z+z^2}, \] where \(\alpha\neq 0\) is a complex parameter and \(\theta\) is an irrational number of bounded type. Each map from this family has a cycle of Siegel disks of period \(2\) of rotation number \(\theta\), centering around \(0\) and \(\infty\) respectively. Note that each of these maps has exactly two critical points. It is shown that there exists a Jordan curve \(\Gamma\) in the \(\alpha\)-plane such that: \begin{itemize} \item[(1)] For \(\alpha\in\Gamma\) each Siegel disk contains one critical point on its boundary; \item[(2)] For \(\alpha\) in the unbounded component of \(\mathbb{C}\setminus\Gamma\), there is a critical point on the boundary of the Siegel disk containing \(0\), while the other Siegel disk does not have critical point on its boundary; \item[(3)] For \(\alpha\) in the bounded component of \(\mathbb{C}\setminus\Gamma\), there is a critical point on the boundary of the Siegel disk containing \(\infty\), while the other Siegel disk does not have critical point on its boundary. \end{itemize}
