Abstract: Let Hd be the set of all rational maps of degree dge2 on the Riemann sphere which are expanding on Julia set. We prove that if finHd and all or all but one critical points (or values) are in the immediate basin of attraction to an attracting fixed point then there exists a polynomial in the component H(f) of Hd containing f. If all critical points are in the immediate basin of attraction to an attracting fixed point or parabolic fixed point then f restricted to Julia set is conjugate to the shift on the one-sided shift space of d symbols. We give exotic examples of maps of an arbitrary degree d with a non-simply connected, completely invariant basin of attraction and arbitrary number kge2 of critical points in the basin. For such a map finHd with k<d there is no polynomial in H(f). Finally we describe a computer experiment joining an exotic example to a Newton's method (for a polynomial) rational function with a 1-parameter family of rational maps.
