Mating Siegel and parabolic quadratic polynomials

Publication date 24 May 2023

Abstract: Let

f_{h} e t a (z) = e^{2 p i i h e t a} z + z^{2}

be the quadratic polynomial having an indifferent fixed point at the origin. For any bounded type irrational number

h e t a i n m a t h b b R s e t m i n u s m a t h b b Q

and any rational number

u i n m a t h b b Q

, we prove that

f_{h} e t a

and

f_{u}

are conformally mateable, and that the mating is unique up to conjugacy by a M"{o}bius map. This gives an affirmative (partial) answer to a question raised by Milnor in 2004. A crucial ingredient in the proof relies on an expansive property when iterating certain rational maps near Siegel disk boundaries. Combining this with the expanding property in repelling petals of parabolic points, we also prove that the Julia sets of a class of Siegel rational maps with parabolic points are locally connected.
