We study two notions of topological entropy of correspondences introduced by Friedland and Dinh-Sibony. Upper bounds are known for both. We identify a class of holomorphic correspondences whose entropy in the sense of Dinh-Sibony equals the known upper bound. This provides an exact computation of the entropy for rational semigroups. We also explore a connection between these two notions of entropy.
We introduce three quantities related to orbits of non-elliptic continuous semigroups of holomorphic self-maps of the unit disc, the total speed, the orthogonal speed and the tangential speed and show how they are related and what can be inferred from those.
We study relationships between the asymptotic behaviour of a non-elliptic semigroup of holomorphic self-maps of the unit disk and the geometry of its planar domain (the image of the Koenigs function). We establish a sufficient condition for the trajectories of the semigroup to converge to its Denjoy-Wolff point with a definite slope. We obtain as a corollary two previously known sufficient conditions.
We show that the tangential speed of a parabolic semigroup of holomorphic self-maps in the unit disc is asymptotically bounded from above by (1/2)logt, proving a conjecture by Bracci. In order to show the proof we need a result of "asymptotical monotonicity" of the tangential speed for proper pairs of parabolic semigroups with positive hyperbolic step.
We give three necessary and sufficient conditions so that a parabolic holomorphic semigroup $(ϕ_t)$ in the unit disc is of finite shift. One is in terms of the asymptotic behavior of speeds of convergence, the second one is related to the hyperbolic metric of its Koenigs domain $Ω$ and the latter one deals with Euclidean properties of $Ω$.
Let $(φ_t)$, $(ϕ_t)$ be two one-parameter semigroups of holomorphic self-maps of the unit disc $\mathbb D\subset \mathbb C$. Let $f:\mathbb D \to \mathbb D$ be a homeomorphism. We prove that, if $f \circ ϕ_t=φ_t \circ f$ for all $t\geq 0$, then $f$ extends to a homeomorphism of $\bar{\mathbb D}$ outside exceptional maximal contact arcs (in particular, for elliptic semigroups, $f$ extends to a homeomorphism of $\bar{\mathbb D}$). Using this result, we study topological invariants for one-parameter semigroups of holomorphic self-maps of the unit disc.
We study the backward dynamics of one-parameter semigroups of holomorphic self-maps of the unit disk. More specifically, we introduce the speeds of convergence for petals of the semigroup, namely the total, orthogonal, and tangential speeds. These are analogous to speeds of convergence introduced by Bracci, yet profoundly different due to the nature of backward dynamics. Results are extracted on the asymptotic behavior of speeds of petals, depending on the type of the petal. We further discuss the asymptotic behavior of the hyperbolic distance along non-regular backward orbits.
In this paper, we investigate some characteristic features of holomorphic semigroups. In particular, we investigate nice examples of holomorphic semigroups whose every left or right ideal includes minimal ideal. These examples are compact topological holomorphic semigroups and examples of compact topological holomorphic semigroups are the spaces of ultrafilters of semigroups.
In this paper, we present a new technique for studying the dynamics of a finitely generated rational semigroup. Such a semigroup can be associated naturally to a certain holomorphic correspondence on $\mathbb{P}^1$. Then, results on the iterative dynamics of such a correspondence can be applied to the study of the rational semigroup. We focus on a certain invariant measure for the aforementioned correspondence---known as the equilibrium measure. This confers some advantages over many of the known techniques for studying the dynamics of rational semigroups. We use the equilibrium measure to ana…
In this paper, we prove that escaping set of transcendental semigroup is S-forward invariant. We also prove that if holomorphic semigroup is abelian, then Fatou set, Julia set and escaping set are S-completely invariant. We see certain cases and conditions that the holomorphic semigroup dynamics exhibits same dynamical behavior just like the classical complex dynamics. Frequently, we also examine certain amount of connection and contrast between classical complex dynamics and holomorphic semigroup dynamics.
This paper studies recurrence phenomena in iterative holomorphic dynamics of certain multi-valued maps. In particular, we prove an analogue of the Poincaré recurrence theorem for meromorphic correspondences with respect to certain dynamically interesting measures associated with them. Meromorphic correspondences present a significant measure-theoretic obstacle: the image of a Borel set under a meromorphic correspondence need not be Borel. We manage this issue using the Measurable Projection Theorem, which is an aspect of descriptive set theory. We also prove a result concerning invariance prop…
We study the backward invariant set of one-parameter semigroups of holomorphic self-maps of the unit disc. Such a set is foliated in maximal invariant curves and its open connected components are petals, which are, in fact, images of Poggi-Corradini's type pre-models. Hyperbolic petals are in one-to-one correspondence with repelling fixed points, while only parabolic semigroups can have parabolic petals. Petals have locally connected boundaries and, except a very particular case, they are indeed Jordan domains. The boundary of a petal contains the Denjoy-Wolff point and, except such a fixed po…
This is an expository plus research paper which mainly exposes preliminary connection and contrast between classical complex dynamics and semigroup dynamics of holomorphic functions. Classically, we expose some existing results of rational and transcendental dynamics and we see how far these results generalized to holomorphic semigroup dynamics as well as we also see what new phenomena occur.
We characterize left and right amenable semigroups of polynomials of one complex variable with respect to the composition operation. We also prove a number of results about amenable semigroups of arbitrary rational functions. In particular, we show that under quite general conditions a semigroup of rational functions is left amenable if and only if it is a subsemigroup of the centralizer of some rational function.
We formulate some problems and conjectures about semigroups of rational functions under composition. The considered problems arise in different contexts, but most of them are united by a certain relationship to the concept of amenability.
We consider the multifractal formalism for the dynamics of semigroups of rational maps on the Riemann sphere and random complex dynamical systems. We elaborate a multifractal analysis of level sets given by quotients of Birkhoff sums with respect to the skew product associated with a semigroup of rational maps. Applying these results, we perform a multifractal analysis of the Hölder regularity of limit state functions of random complex dynamical systems.
Let $Δ\subsetneq \mathbb C$ be a simply connected domain, let $f:\mathbb D \to Δ$ be a Riemann map and let $\{z_k\}\subset Δ$ be a compactly divergent sequence. Using Gromov's hyperbolicity theory, we show that $\{f^{-1}(z_k)\}$ converges non-tangentially to a point of $\partial \mathbb D$ if and only if there exists a simply connected domain $U\subsetneq \mathbb C$ such that $Δ\subset U$ and $Δ$ contains a tubular hyperbolic neighborhood of a geodesic of $U$ and $\{z_k\}$ is eventually contained in a smaller tubular hyperbolic neighborhood of the same geodesic. As a consequence we show that i…
Rational semigroups were introduced by Hinkkanen and Martin as a generalization of the iteration of a single rational map. There has subsequently been much interest in the study of rational semigroups. Quasiregular semigroups were introduced shortly after rational semigroups as analogues in higher real dimensions, but have received far less attention. Each map in a quasiregular semigroup must necessarily be a uniformly quasiregular map. While there is a completely viable theory for the iteration of uniformly quasiregular maps, it is a highly non-trivial matter to construct them. In this paper,…
The goal of this paper is to study some basic properties of the Fatou and Julia sets for a family of holomorphic endomorphisms of $\mathbb{C}^k,\; k \ge 2$. We are particularly interested in studying these sets for semigroups generated by various classes of holomorphic endomorphisms of $\mathbb{C}^k,\; k \ge 2.$ We prove that if the Julia set of a semigroup $G$ which is generated by endomorphisms of maximal generic rank $k$ in $\mathbb{C}^k$ contains an isolated point, then $G$ must contain an element that is conjugate to an upper triangular automorphism of $\mathbb{C}^k.$ This generalizes a t…
We investigate to what extent Fatou set, Julia set and escaping set of transcendental semigroup is respectively equal to the Fatou set, Julia set and escaping set of its subsemigroup. We define partial fundamental set and fundamental set of transcendental semigroup and on the basis of this set, we prove that Fatou set and escaping set of transcendental semigroup $ S $ are non-empty.
We investigate the dynamics of semigroups of rational maps on the Riemann sphere. To establish a fractal theory of the Julia sets of infinitely generated semigroups of rational maps, we introduce a new class of semigroups which we call nicely expanding rational semigroups. More precisely, we prove Bowen's formula for the Hausdorff dimension of the pre-Julia sets, which we also introduce in this paper. We apply our results to the study of the Julia sets of non-hyperbolic rational semigroups. For these results, we do not assume the cone condition, which has been assumed in the study of infinite …
The notion of nearly abelian rational semigroup was introduced by Hinkannen and Martin. In this paper, we have introduced the notion of nearly abelian transcendental semigroup. We have extended the results of nearly abelian rational semigroups to the best possible class of nearly abelian transcendental semigroups. We have given a class of functions which nearly permute with a given transcendental entire function. In addition, a relation between the postsingular set of composition of two entire functions with that of individual functions is obtained.
In this work, we study dominant rational maps preserving singular holomorphic codimension one foliations on projective manifolds and that exhibit non-trivial transverse dynamics.
We are going to study the dynamical properties of the rational semigroup $Q_{t}(μ)$ where $Q_{t}(μ)= (1-t) μ* (1- t μ)^{-1},$ for $t \in [0,1)$, that is defined for $μ\in \mathcal{P}(G)$, the set of Borel probabilities over $(G, \cdot)$ an abelian compact topological group where we define the \textbf{convolution}, $ν* μ\in \mathcal{P}(G)$, as usual for a group $\int f d(ν* μ)= \int \int f(xy) dν(x) dμ(y),$ then $(\mathcal{P}(G), *)$ became a $\textbf{convolution measure algebra}$ (CM-algebra). We investigate several properties for this semigroup (as the Stable Manifold Theorem, Asymptotic beha…
We study skew-product dynamics for a large class of finitely-generated semi--hyperbolic semigroups of rational maps acting on the Riemann sphere, which generalizes both the theory of iteration of a single rational map of a single complex variable complex/holomorphic dynamics) and the theory of countable alphabet conformal iterated function systems (CIFSs). We construct the thermodynamic formalism for such dynamical systems and geometric potentials by developing the notion of nice families that extend to the case of our highly disconnected skew product phase space the powerful notion of nice se…
