Local connectivity of Julia sets for unicritical polynomials

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We prove that the Julia set J(f) of at most finitely renormalizable unicritical polynomial f:zmapstozd+c with all periodic points repelling is locally connected. (For d=2 it was proved by Yoccoz around 1990.) It follows from a priori bounds in a modified Principle Nest of puzzle pieces. The proof of a priori bounds makes use of new analytic tools developed in math.DS/0505191 that give control of moduli of annuli under maps of high degree.


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)].
