Totally disconnected Julia set for different classes of meromorphic functions. (English) Zbl 1333.37023
Let $$X$$ be a Riemann surface. A map $$f$$ is of “finite type” if $$f:D\rightarrow X$$ is analytic where $$D\subset X$$ is an open set, $$f$$ is not locally constant, $$f$$ has only finitely singular values and every isolated singularity of $$f$$ is essential. This notion was introduced by A. Epstein [Towers of finite type complex analytic maps. New York: City University of New York, Graduate Center (PhD Thesis) (1993)].
In the short paper under review, the authors study the dynamics of finite type maps. They describe the global structure of the Julia set of $$f$$. More precisely, they prove that if $$f$$ is a generic finite type maps having an attracting fixed point which basin contains all singular values of $$f$$, then the Julia set $$J_f$$ of $$f$$ is totally disconnected.
Their proof follows closely the one of I. N. Baker et al. [Ergodic Theory Dyn. Syst. 21, No. 3, 647–672 (2001; Zbl 0990.37033)] in the case of meromorphic maps: they first prove that the attracting basin is totally invariant. In a second time, they prove that the complement of an open neighborhood of the attracting fixed point is a finite union of disks. Finally, they conclude by a classical argument. One of the key ingredients is the classification of Fatou components for finite type maps established by Epstein.
They also provide some examples.
