Proof of a folklore Julia set connectedness theorem and connections with elliptic functions (Q2841085)

The paper concerns a proof of the connectivity of Julia sets of rational maps of the type NEWLINE\[NEWLINE f_{n,p, \gamma}(z)= z^n+ \frac{\gamma}{z^p},NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(n, p \geq 2\) are integers and \(\gamma\) is a nonzero complex number. By using techniques developed for the Weierstrass elliptic function, the author shows that if \(f_{n,p,\gamma}\) has a bounded critical orbit, then its Julia set is connected. The author also illustrates several further connections between the dynamics of some specific elliptic functions and the family \(f_{n,p,\gamma}\) for some \(n\) and \(p\).
