Abstract: | By means of a nested sequence of some critical pieces constructed by Kozlovski, Shen, and van Strien, and by using a covering
lemma recently proved by Kahn and Lyubich, we prove that a component of the filled-in Julia set of any polynomial is a point
if and only if its forward orbit contains no periodic critical components. It follows immediately that the Julia set of a
polynomial is a Cantor set if and only if each critical component of the filled-in Julia set is aperiodic. This result was
a conjecture raised by Branner and Hubbard in 1992.
