On Fatou sets containing Baker omitted value (Q6174777)

This paper focuses on dynamics of meromorphic functions with Baker omitted values. An omitted value \(b\), say \textit{bov}, of a transcendental meromorphic function \(f\) is called a Baker omitted value, if there is a disk \(D\) centered at the \textit{bov} such that each component of the boundary of \(f^{-1}(D)\) is bounded. Note that if a map has a \textit{bov}, then it must be the limit of critical values, therefore the map has infinitely singular values. The first part of the paper concerns the connectivity of Fatou components. If \(f\) has a \textit{bov} \(b\) and \(b\) is in the Fatou component \(U\), then a Fatou component of \(f\) is infinitely connected if and only if it lands on \(U\). Further, every other Fatou component is either simply connected or lands on a Herman ring. As the \textit{bov} \(b\) is the limit of infinitely many critical point, the grand orbit of \(U\) contains infinitely critical points. Under further assumption that the number of critical points not in the grand orbit of \(U\) is finite, the connectivity of Fatou components landing on a Herman ring is bounded, and the bound only depends the multiplicity of the critical points not in the grand orbit of \(U\). If a connected component of Fatou set is multiple connected, then the Julia set must be disconnected. Then the next part of the paper concerns the case when the Julia set is totally connected. That is, if \(b\in U\), where is \(U\) is an invariant attracting or parabolic basin, and all critical value are compactly contained in it then the Julia set is totally disconnected. The last part of the paper focuses on the existence of a Baker domain and a Herman ring. It is found that: (1) If the box \(b\) is in the Fatou set, there is no Baker domain; (2) If \(f\) has a \(2\)-periodic Fatou component which is either a Baker domain or an attracting domain or a parabolic domain containing \(b\), then there is no Herman ring.
