Symmetric cubic laminations

Abstract: To investigate the degree

d

connectedness locus, Thur-ston studied emph{

s i g m a_{d}

-invariant laminations}, where

s i g m a_{d}

is the

d

-tupling map on the unit circle, and built a topological model for the space of quadratic polynomials

f (z) = z^{2} + c

. In the spirit of Thurston's work, we consider the space of all emph{cubic symmetric polynomials}

f_{l} a m b d a (z) = z^{3} + l a m b d a^{2} z

in a series of three articles. In the present paper, the first in the series, we construct a lamination

C_{s} C L

together with the induced factor space

m a t h b b S / C_{s} C L

of the unit circle

m a t h b b S

. As will be verified in the third paper of the series,

m a t h b b S / C_{s} C L

is a monotone model of the emph{cubic symmetric connected locus}, i.e. the space of all cubic symmetric polynomials with connected Julia sets.
