Abstract: Suppose that a $X$ is an emph{unshielded} plane continuum (i.e., $X$ coincides with the boundary of the unbounded complementary component of $X$). Then there exists a emph{finest monotone} map $m:XoL$, where $L$ is a locally connected continuum (i.e., $m^{-1}(y)$ is connected for each $yinL$, and any monotone map $varphi:Xo{L}^{\prime }$ onto a locally connected continuum is a composition $varphi=varph{i}^{\prime }circm$ where $varph{i}^{\prime }:Lo{L}^{\prime }$ is monotone). Such finest locally connected model $L$ of $X$ is easier to understand because $L$ is locally connected (in particular it can be described by a picture) and represents the finest but still understandable decomposition of $X$ into possibly complicated but pairwise disjoint emph{fibers} (point-preimages) of $m$. However, in some cases (i.e., in case $X$ is indecomposable) $L$ is a singleton. In this paper we provide sufficient conditions for the existence of a non-degenerate model depending on the existence of certain subcontinua of $X$ and apply these results to the connected Julia sets of polynomials.

Review text

The authors provide sufficient conditions under which the finest locally connected model is non-degenerate and apply the obtained result to polynomials dynamics. The main result is stated as Theorem A: let \(X\) be an unshielded plane continuum. If \(Y\) is strategically placed in \(X\), and \(Y\) has a non-degenerate finest locally connected model \(M_Y\), then \(X\) has a non-degenerate finest locally connected model \(M_X\). Moreover, there exists a canonical embedding of \(M_Y\) into \(M_X\). An application of Theorem A to complex dynamics is given by Theorem B: suppose that \(P : \mathbb{C} \to \mathbb{C}\) is a polynomial, and \(J^\ast\subset J(P)\) is the Julia set of a polynomial-like map obtained as a restriction of \(P^n\) for some \(n > 0\). If \(J^\ast\) has a non-degenerate finest locally connected model, then so does \(J(P)\). The authors also prove a version of Theorem B for disconnected Julia sets.
