Abstract: We show that any dynamics on any discrete planar sequence S can be realized by the postsingular dynamics of some transcendental meromorphic function, provided we allow for small perturbations of S. This work was influenced by an analogous result of DeMarco, Koch and McMullen for finite S in the rational setting. The proof contains a method for constructing meromorphic functions with good control over both the postsingular set of f and the geometry of f, using the Folding Theorem of Bishop and a classical fixpoint theorem of Tychonoff.


The authors show that any dynamics on any discrete planar sequence \(S\) can be realized by the postsingular dynamics of some transcendental meromorphic function, provided one allows for small perturbations of \(S\). For detail, they prove the following. Theorem 1. Let \(S\subset\mathbb C\) be a discrete sequence (no finite accumulation points) with \(4\le |S|\le \infty\), let \(h:S\rightarrow S\) be any map, and let \(\varepsilon >0\). Then there exists a trancendental meromorphic function \(f:\mathbb C\rightarrow\hat{\mathbb C}\) and a bijection \(\psi :S\rightarrow P(f)\) with \(|\psi (s)-s|\rightarrow 0\) as \(s\rightarrow \infty\), \(|\psi (s)-s|\le\varepsilon\) for all \(s\in S\), and \(f|_{P(f)}=\psi \circ h\circ\psi^{-1}\). Here, \(P(f)\) stands for the postsingular set of the meromorphic function \(f\).
