Lyubich, Mikhail Almost every real quadratic map is either regular or stochastic. (English) Zbl 1160.37356 Ann. Math. (2) 156, No. 1, 1-78 (2002). Summary: We prove uniform hyperbolicity of the renormalization operator for all possible real combinatorial types. We derive from it that the set of infinitely renormalizable parameter values in the real quadratic family \(P_c: x\mapsto x^2+c\) has zero measure. This yields the statement in the title (where “regular” means to have an attracting cycle and “stochastic” means to have an absolutely continuous invariant measure). An application to the MLC problem is given.
