Local connectivity of Julia sets for unicritical polynomials (Q2389219)

Yoccoz proved that if a quadratic polynomial is at most finitely many renormalizable and if all periodic points are repelling, then the Julia set is locally connected. The main result of this paper is to extend this result to polynomials \(z\mapsto z^d+c\) where \(d\geq 2\). A major tool is a covering lemma proved by the same authors [Ann. Math. (2) 169, No. 2, 561--593 (2009; Zbl 1203.30011)].
