Analytic families of semihyperbolic generalized polynomial-like mappings

We show that the Hausdorff dimension of Julia sets in any analytic family of semihyperbolic generalized polynomial-like mappings (GPL) depends in a real-analytic manner on the parameter. For the proof we introduce abstract weakly regular analytic families of conformal graph directed Markov systems. We show that the Hausdorff dimension of limit sets in such families is real-analytic, and we associate to each analytic family of semihyperbolic GPLs a weakly regular analytic family of conformal graph directed Markov systems with the Hausdorff dimension of the limit sets equal to the Hausdorff dimension of the Julia sets of the corresponding semihyperbolic GPLs.     

A remark on densities of hyperbolic dimensions for conformal iterated function systems with applications to conformal dynamics and fractal number theory

In this note we investigate radial limit sets of arbitrary regular conformal iterated function systems. We show that for each of these systems there exists a variety of finite hyperbolic subsystems such that the spectrum made of the Hausdorff dimensions of the limit sets of these subsystems is dense in the interval between 0 and the Hausdorff dimension of the given conformal iterated function system. This result has interesting applications in conformal dynamics and elementary fractal number theory.

Hausdorff Dimension of Harmonic Measure for Self-Conformal Sets

Under some technical assumptions it is shown that the Hausdorff dimension of the harmonic measure on the limit set of a conformal infinite iterated function system is strictly less than the Hausdorff dimension of the limit set itself if the limit set is contained in a real-analytic curve, if the iterated function system consists of similarities only, or if this system is irregular. As a consequence of this general result the same statement is proven for hyperbolic and parabolic Julia sets, finite parabolic iterated function systems and generalized polynomial-like mappings. Also sufficient conditions are provided for a limit set to be uniformly perfect and for the harmonic measure to have the Hausdorff dimension less than 1. Some results in the spirit of Przytycki et al. (Ann. of Math.130 (1989), 1-40; Stud. Math.97 (1991), 189-225) are obtained.

Dimensions for random self–conformal sets

A set is called regular if its Hausdorff dimension and upper box–counting dimension coincide. In this paper, we prove that the random self–conformal set is regular almost surely. Also we determine the dimensions for a class of random self–conformal sets.     

Dimension sets for infinite IFSs: the Texan Conjecture

We consider the set of Hausdorff dimensions of limit sets of finite subsystems of an infinite conformal iterated function system and refer to it as the restricted dimension set. The corresponding set for all subsystems will be referred to as the complete dimension set. We give sufficient conditions for a point to belong to the complete dimension set and consequently to be an accumulation point of the restricted dimension set. We also give sufficient conditions on the system for both sets to be nowhere dense in some interval. Both general results are illustrated by examples. Applying the first result to the case of continued fraction we are able to prove the Texan Conjecture, that is we show that the set of Hausdorff dimensions of bounded type continued fraction sets is dense in the unit interval.

Conformal,geometric and invariant measures for transcendental expanding functions

We describe the fractal structure of expanding meromorphic maps of the form , where H and Q are rational functions whose most transparent examples are among the functions of the form with . In particular we show that depending upon whether the Hausdorff dimension of the Julia set is greater or less than 1, the finite non-zero geometric measure is provided by the Hausdorff or packing measure. In order to describe this fractal structure we introduce and explore in detail Walters expanding conformal maps and jump-like conformal maps.

Hausdorff measures and packing measures of limit sets of CIFSs of generalized complex continued fractions

ABSTRACT

We consider a certain family of CIFSs of the generalized complex continued fractions with a complex parameter space. We show that for each CIFS of the family, the Hausdorff measure of the limit set of the CIFS with respect to the Hausdorff dimension is zero and the packing measure of the limit set of the CIFS with respect to the Hausdorff dimension is positive (main result). This is a new phenomenon of infinite CIFSs which cannot hold in finite CIFSs. We prove the main result by showing some estimates for the unique conformal measure of each CIFS of the family and by using some geometric observations.     

On the dynamics of a family of generated renormalization transformations

We study the family of renormalization transformations of the generalized d  -dimensional diamond hierarchical Potts model in statistical mechanic and prove that their Julia sets and non-escaping loci are always connected, where d?2$d?2$. In particular, we prove that their Julia sets can never be a Sierpiński carpet if the parameter is real. We show that the Julia set is a quasicircle if and only if the parameter lies in the unbounded capture domain of these models. Moreover, the asymptotic formula of the Hausdorff dimension of the Julia set is calculated as the parameter tends to infinity.     

Statistical properties of topological Collet-Eckmann maps

We study geometric and statistical properties of complex rational maps satisfying a non-uniform hyperbolicity condition called “Topological Collet-Eckmann”. This condition is weaker than the “Collet-Eckmann” condition. We show that every such map possesses a unique conformal probability measure of minimal exponent, and that this measure is non-atomic, ergodic, and that its Hausdorff dimension is equal to the Hausdorff dimension of the Julia set. Furthermore, we show that there is a unique invariant probability measure that is absolutely continuous with respect to this conformal measure, and that this invariant measure is exponentially mixing (it has exponential decay of correlations) and satisfies the Central Limit Theorem.We also show that for a complex rational map the existence of such invariant measure characterizes the Topological Collet-Eckmann condition: a rational map satisfies the Topological Collet-Eckmann condition if, and only if, it possesses an exponentially mixing invariant measure that is absolutely continuous with respect to some conformal measure, and whose topological support contains at least 2 points.     

Semigroups whose Julia sets are Cantor targets

We consider semigroups generated by two rational functions whose Julia sets are Cantor targets. Noting that a Cantor target has no interior points, we construct a polynomial semigroup whose Julia set has no interior points and the Hausdorff dimension of whose Julia set is arbitrary close to 2.     

Conformal iterated function systems with applications to the geometry of continued fractions

In this paper we obtain some results about general conformal iterated function systems. We obtain a simple characterization of the packing dimension of the limit set of such systems and introduce some special systems which exhibit some interesting behavior. We then apply these results to the set of values of real continued fractions with restricted entries. We pay special attention to the Hausdorff and packing measures of these sets. We also give direct interpretations of these measure theoretic results in terms of the arithmetic density properties of the set of allowed entries.

     

Continuity of Julia set and its Hausdorff dimension of Yang-Lee zeros

We show the continuity of the Julia set and its Hausdorff dimension about a family of rational maps concerning 2-dimensional diamond hierarchical Potts models about anti-ferromagnetic coupling in statistical mechanics.     

Julia sets for certain rational functions

Julia sets or F sets, have been of considerable interest in current research. In this paper we find a new characterization of the Julia set for certain rational functions and find bounds for its Hausdorff dimension.     

Fractal Measures for Parabolic IFS

Let h be the Hausdorff dimension of the limit set of a conformal parabolic iterated function system in dimension d?2. In case the system of maps is finite, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the h-dimensional Hausdorff measure to be positive and finite and also, assuming the strong open set condition holds, characterize when the h-dimensional packing measure of the limit set is positive and finite. We also prove that the upper ball (box)-counting dimension and the Hausdorff dimension of this limit set coincide. As a byproduct we include a compact analysis of the behaviour of parabolic conformal diffeomorphisms in dimension 2 and separately in any dimension greater than or equal to 3.     

Connectivity of the Mandelbrot set for the family of renormalization transformations

We show that the Mandelbrot set for the family of renormalization transformations of 2-dimensional diamond-like hierachical Potts models in statistical mechanics is connected. We also give an upper bound for the Hausdorff dimension of Julia set when it is a quasi-circle.     

Conformal Families of Measures for Fibred Systems

In this paper, we give sufficient conditions for the existence of (pseudo) weakly conformal and conformal families of measures for fibred systems. We describe a general construction principle for these families, modelled on the one developed by Denker and Urbanski for conformal measures. For those systems that are fibrewise local homeomorphisms, the constructed families are (pseudo) conformal. If a system is, moreover, weakly topologically exact along fibres, then each measure in the associated family is supported on the whole fibre where it is naturally defined.
