Symbolic dynamics in investigation of quaternionic Julia sets (Q2483673)

The authors study the dynamics of the simplest quaternionic quadratic function \(f_Q(X)=X^2+Q\). The discussion can be reduced to the complex parameter \(Q\). A natural decomposition is suggest by the images of quaternionic Julia sets. It can be derived from a certain symbolic dynamics giving rise to fractal fibrations. If the parameter \(Q\) is real, fibrations are trivially obtained by rotation of the complex Julia set. Repeating itineraries, on the other hand, define curves connecting periodic points (see Theorem 4). The subject is very actual and very interesting. The paper is very well written and contains suggestive examples.
