Abstract: There are two natural definitions of the Julia set for complex H'enon maps: the sets J and Jstar. Whether these two sets are always equal is one of the main open questions in the field. We prove equality when the map acts hyperbolically on the a priori smaller set Jstar, under the additional hypothesis of substantial dissipativity. This result was claimed, without using the additional assumption, in the paper [For06], but the proof is incomplete. Our proof closely follows ideas from [For06], deviating at two points where substantial dissipativity is used. We show that J=Jstar also holds when hyperbolicity is replaced by one of two weaker conditions. The first is quasi-hyperbolicity, introduced in [BS02], a natural generalization of the one dimensional notion of semi-hyperbolicity. The second is the existence of a dominated splitting on Jstar. Substantially dissipative H'enon maps admitting a dominated splitting on the possibly larger set J were recently studied in in [LP14].
