Dynamical approximations of postsingularly finite entire maps

Abstract: We prove that every postsingularly finite entire map

g

can be approximated by a sequence of postcritically finite complex polynomials

(p_{n})

such that their dynamics

g | P_{g}

and

p_{n} | P_{p_{n}}

on the corresponding postsingular sets

P_{g}

and

P_{p_{n}}

are conjugate for every

n i n m a t h b b N

. To establish this result, we introduce the notion of combinatorial convergence for sequences of entire Thurston maps

(f_{n})

defined on the plane

m a t h b b R^{2}

and having the same marked set

A

for all

n i n m a t h b b N

. We prove that if such a sequence converges combinatorially to a Thurston map

f c o l o n m a t h b b R^{2} o m a t h b b R^{2}

, then the sequence of Thurston pullback maps

(s i g m a_{f_{n}})

converges locally uniformly on

m a t h r m T e i c h (m a t h b b R^{2}, A)

to

s i g m a_{f}

.
