Mating quadratic maps with the modular group II

Abstract: In 1994 S. Bullett and C. Penrose introduced the one complex parameter family of

(2 : 2)

holomorphic correspondences

m a t h c a l F_{a}

:

left(frac{aw-1}{w-1} ight)^2+left(frac{aw-1}{w-1} ight)left(frac{az+1}{z+1} ight) +left(frac{az+1}{z+1} ight)^2=3

and proved that for every value of

a i n [4, 7] s u b s e t m a t h b b R

the correspondence

m a t h c a l F_{a}

is a mating between a quadratic polynomial

Q_{c} (z) = z^{2} + c,,, c i n m a t h b b R

and the modular group

G a m m a = P S L (2, m a t h b b Z)

. They conjectured that this is the case for every member of the family

m a t h c a l F_{a}

which has

a

in the connectedness locus. We prove here that every member of the family

m a t h c a l F_{a}

which has

a

in the connectedness locus is a mating between the modular group and an element of the parabolic quadratic family

P e r_{1} (1)
