Trees and hairs for some hyperbolic entire maps of finite order

Let f be an entire transcendental map of finite order, such that all the singularities of f ⁻¹ are contained in a compact subset of the immediate basin B of an attracting fixed point. It is proved that there exist geometric coding trees of preimages of points from B with all branches convergent to points from . This implies that the Riemann map onto B has radial limits everywhere. Moreover, the Julia set of f consists of disjoint curves (hairs) tending to infinity, homeomorphic to a half-line, composed of points with a given symbolic itinerary and attached to the unique point accessible from B (endpoint of the hair). These facts generalize the corresponding results for exponential maps. Research supported by Polish KBN Grant No 2 P03A 034 25.
