Abstract: Chebyshev maps in the complex plane are typical chaotic maps. Veselov generalized these map. We consider a class of those maps and view them as holomorphic endomorphisms on the 3-dimensional complex projective space and make use of the theory of complex dynamics in higher dimension. We determine Julia sets and external rays of those maps, exactly. In the Julia sets, Moebius strip and a special ruled surface appear. We also show some relation between those maps and binary quartic forms.


The paper under review deals with dynamics of a class of generalized Chebyshev maps in three complex variables, denoted by \(P^d_{A_3}\). The considered maps are seen as holomorphic endomorphisms on the complex projective space \(\mathbb{P}^{3}(\mathbb{C})\), and their dynamical properties can be deduced thanks to the fact that they are related to the map \((t_1,t_2,t_3)\mapsto(t_1^d,t_2^d,t_3^d)\) via a commutative diagram. Given a holomorphic endomorphism of \(\mathbb{P}^{k}(\mathbb{C})\), denote by \(T\) its Green current and set \(T^l\) the product \(T\wedge\cdots \wedge T\) with \(l\) terms. The \(l\)-th Julia set \(J_l\) is defined as the support of \(T^l\). The author is able to explicitly determine for the considered maps four types of Julia sets: \(J_1, J_2, J_3\), and the second Julia set \(J_\Pi\) of the restriction to the hyperplane \(\Pi\) at infinity. The descriptions of \(J_1\) and \(J_2\) are achieved by studying the external rays and applying the results of \textit{E. Bedford} and \textit{M. Jonsson} [Am. J. Math. 122, No. 1, 153--212 (2000; Zbl 0941.37027)] on regular polynomial endomorphisms. The key result to obtain a description of \(J_3\) is given by \textit{J.-Y. Briend} and \textit{J. Duval}'s equidistribution result [Acta Math. 182, No. 2, 143--157 (1999; Zbl 1144.37436)]. To describe \(J_\Pi\) the author uses \textit{M. Jonsson}'s results on polynomial skew products [Math. Ann. 314, No. 3, 403--447 (1999; Zbl 0940.37018)]. The author also investigates the relation between the set of critical values of the considered maps and catastrophe theory.
