Given a sequence of complex numbers ρ_n, we study the asymptotic distribution of the sets of parameters c ε C such that the quadratic maps z^2 +c has a cycle of period n and multiplier ρ_n. Assume 1/n.log|ρ_n| tends to L. If L {\leq} log 2, they equidistribute on the boundary of the Mandelbrot set. If L > log 2 they equidistribute on the equipotential of the Mandelbrot set of level 2L - 2 log 2.
In the moduli space of degree d polynomials, the set Per\_n(w) of classes [f] for which f admits a cycle of exact period n and multiplier w is known to be an algebraic hypersurface. We prove that, given a complex number w, these hypersurfaces equidistribute towards the bifurcation current as n tends to infinity.
We study angles of multipliers of repelling cycles for hyperbolic rational maps in $\mathbb C(z)$. For a fixed $K \gg 1$, we show that almost all intervals of length $2π/K$ in $(-π,π]$ contain a multiplier angle with the property that the norm of the multiplier is bounded above by a polynomial in $K$.
A parameter $c_0\in\mathbb C$ in the family of quadratic polynomials $f_c(z)=z^2+c$ is a critical point of a period $n$ multiplier, if the map $f_{c_0}$ has a periodic orbit of period $n$, whose multiplier, viewed as a locally analytic function of $c$, has a vanishing derivative at $c=c_0$. We prove that all critical points of period $n$ multipliers equidistribute on the boundary of the Mandelbrot set, as $n\to\infty$.
In the moduli space of degree d polynomials, we prove the equidistribution of postcritically finite polynomials toward the bifurcation measure. More precisely, using complex analytic arguments and pluripotential theory, we prove the exponential speed of convergence for C 2-observables. This improves results obtained with arithmetic methods by Favre and Rivera-Letellier in the unicritical family and Favre and the first author in the space of degree d polynomials. We deduce from that the equidistribution of hyperbolic parameters with (d -- 1) distinct attracting cycles of given multipliers towar…
We prove an effective equidistribution theorem for orbits of horospherical subgroups of $\mathrm{SO}(2, 2)$ and $\mathrm{SO}(3, 1)$ in quotients of $\mathrm{SL}_4(\mathbb{R})$ with a polynomial error term. In a forthcoming paper, we will use this theorem to prove an effective version of the Oppenheim conjecture for indefinite quadratic forms of signature $(2, 2)$ or $(3, 1)$ with a polynomial error rate.
In this paper we investigate the distribution of the set of values of a linear map at integer points on a quadratic surface. In particular, it is shown that subject to certain algebraic conditions, this set is equidistributed. This can be thought of as a quantitative version of the main result from [2011arXiv1111.4428S]. The methods used are based on those developed by A. Eskin, S. Mozes and G. Margulis in [MR1609447]. Specifically, they rely on equidistribution properties of unipotent flows.
Let $G=$SL$(2,R)\ltimes(R^2)^{\oplus k}$ and let $Γ$ be a congruence subgroup of SL$(2,Z)\ltimes(Z^2)^{\oplus k}$. We prove a polynomially effective asymptotic equidistribution result for special types of unipotent orbits in $Γ\backslash G$ which project to pieces of closed horocycles in SL$(2,Z)\backslash$SL$(2,R)$. As an application, we prove an effective quantitative Oppenheim type result for the quadratic form $(m_1-α)^2+(m_2-β)^2-(m_3-α)^2-(m_4-β)^2$, for $(α,β)$ of Diophantine type, following the approach by Marklof [24] using theta sums.
We prove an extension results for the multiplier of an attracting periodic orbit of a quadratic map as a function of the parameter. This has applications to the problem of geometry of the Mandelbrot and Julia sets. In particular, we prove that the size of p/q-limb of a hyperbolic component of the Mandelbrot set of period n is O(4^n/p), and give an explicit condition on internal arguments under which the Julia set of corresponding (unique) infinitely renormalizable quadratic polynomial is not locally connected
In this article, we prove that every quadratic rational map whose multipliers all lie in the ring of integers of a given imaginary quadratic field is a power map, a Chebyshev map or a Lattès map. In particular, this provides some evidence in support of a conjecture by Milnor concerning rational maps whose multipliers are all integers.
The alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) has emerged as a powerful technique for large-scale structured optimization. Despite many recent results on the convergence properties of ADMM, a quantitative characterization of the impact of the algorithm parameters on the convergence times of the method is still lacking. In this paper we find the optimal algorithm parameters that minimize the convergence factor of the ADMM iterates in the context of l2-regularized minimization and constrained quadratic programming. Numerical examples show that our parameter selection rules significantly…
A parameter $c_0\in\mathbb C$ in the family of quadratic polynomials $f_c(z)=z^2+c$ is a critical point of a period $n$ multiplier, if the map $f_{c_0}$ has a periodic orbit of period $n$, whose multiplier, viewed as a locally analytic function of $c$, has a vanishing derivative at $c=c_0$. We study the accumulation set $\mathcal X$ of the critical points of the multipliers, as $n\to\infty$. This study complements the equidistribution result for the critical points of the multipliers that was previously obtained by the authors. In particular, in the current paper we prove that the accumulation…
A closed geodesic on the modular surface gives rise to a knot on the 3-sphere with a trefoil knot removed, and one can compute the linking number of such a knot with the trefoil knot. We show that, when ordered by their length, the set of closed geodesics having a prescribed linking number become equidistributed on average with respect to the Liouville measure. We show this by using the thermodynamic formalism to prove an equidistribution result for a corresponding set of quadratic irrationals on the unit interval.
Let $f_c(z) = z^2+c$ for $c \in \mathbb{C}$. We show there exists a uniform bound on the number of points in $\mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{C})$ that can be preperiodic for both $f_{c_1}$ and $f_{c_2}$ with $c_1\not= c_2$ in $\mathbb{C}$. The proof combines arithmetic ingredients with complex-analytic; we estimate an adelic energy pairing when the parameters lie in $\bar{\mathbb{Q}}$, building on the quantitative arithmetic equidistribution theorem of Favre and Rivera-Letelier, and we use distortion theorems in complex analysis to control the size of the intersection of distinct Julia sets. The proof i…
We study ultrametric germs in one variable having an irrationally indifferent fixed point at the origin with a prescribed multiplier. We show that for many values of the multiplier, the cycles in the unit disk of the corresponding monic quadratic polynomial are "optimal" in the following sense: They minimize the distance to the origin among cycles of the same minimal period of normalized germs having an irrationally indifferent fixed point at the origin with the same multiplier. We also give examples of multipliers for which the corresponding quadratic polynomial does not have optimal cycles. …
Let $K$ be a complete, algebraically closed non-archimedean valued field, and let $φ(z) \in K(z)$ have degree two. We describe the crucial set of $φ$ in terms of the multipliers of $φ$ at the classical fixed points, and use this to show that the crucial set determines a stratification of the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_2(K)$ related to the reduction type of $φ$. We apply this to settle a special case of a conjecture of Hsia regarding the density of repelling periodic points in the non-archimedean Julia set.
