Lyapunov exponents, bifurcation currents and laminations in bifurcation loci (Q834770)

The authors use potential theoretical arguments to obtain equidistribution properties for certain hypersurfaces in the moduli space of a rational map associated with bifurcation loci. Their method establishes some approximation formulae for Lyapunov functions. It is shown that, in the quadratic situation, this allows to build some holomorphic dynamics for which the bifurcation loci have the structure of a lamination in those regions where an attracting basin exists.
