Renormalization in the Henon family, I: universality but non-rigidity

Rigidity of Julia sets for Henon type maps

We prove that the Julia set of a Henon type automorphism on C^2 is very rigid: it supports a unique positive ddc-closed current of mass 1. A similar property holds for the cohomology class of the Green current associated with an automorphism of positive entropy on a compact Kaehler surface. Relations between this phenomenon, several quantitative equidistribution properties and the theory of value distribution will be discussed. We also survey some rigidity properties of Henon type maps on C^k and of automorphisms of compact Kaehler manifolds.

Further remarks on rigidity of Hénon maps

For a Hénon map $H$ in $\mathbb{C}^2$, we characterize the polynomial automorphisms of $\mathbb{C}^2$ which keep any fixed level set of the Green function of $H$ completely invariant. The interior of any non-zero sublevel set of the Green function of a Hénon map turns out to be a Short $\mathbb{C}^2$ and as a consequence of our characterization, it follows that there exists no polynomial automorphism apart from possibly the affine automorphisms which acts as an automorphism on any of these Short $\mathbb{C}^2$'s. Further, we prove that if any two level sets of the Green functions of a pair of …

Probabilistic Universality in two-dimensional Dynamics

In this paper we continue to explore infinitely renormalizable Hénon maps with small Jacobian. It was shown in [CLM] that contrary to the one-dimensional intuition, the Cantor attractor of such a map is non-rigid and the conjugacy with the one-dimensional Cantor attractor is at most 1/2-Hölder. Another formulation of this phenomenon is that the scaling structure of the Hénon Cantor attractor differs from its one-dimensional counterpart. However, in this paper we prove that the weight assigned by the canonical invariant measure to these bad spots tends to zero on microscopic scales. This phenom…

Rigidity, universality,and hyperbolicity of renormalization for critical circle maps with non-integer exponents

We construct a renormalization operator which acts on analytic circle maps whose critical exponent $α$ is not necessarily an odd integer $2n+1$, $n\in\mathbb N$. When $α=2n+1$, our definition generalizes cylinder renormalization of analytic critical circle maps. In the case when $α$ is close to an odd integer, we prove hyperbolicity of renormalization for maps of bounded type. We use it to prove universality and $C^{1+α}$-rigidity for such maps.

Renormalization of $C^r$ Hénon map : Two dimensional embedded map in three dimension

We study renormalization of highly dissipative analytic three dimensional Hénon maps $$ F(x,y,z) = (f(x) - \varepsilon(x,y,z),\ x,\ δ(x,y,z)) $$ where $ \varepsilon(x,y,z) $ is a sufficiently small perturbation of $ \varepsilon_{2d}(x,y) $. Under certain conditions, $ C^r $ single invariant surfaces each of which is tangent to the invariant plane field over the critical Cantor set exist for $ 2 \leq r < \infty $. The $ C^r $ conjugation from an invariant surface to the $ xy- $plane defines renormalization two dimensional $ C^r $ Hénon-like map. It also defines two dimensional embedded $ C^r $ …

Universality but no rigidity for two-dimensional perturbations of almost commuting pairs

In this paper we consider two-dimensional dissipative maps of the annulus which are small perturbations of one-dimensional critical circle maps. It has been shown earlier that such perturbations admit an attractor which is a non-smooth topolgical circle - a "critical" circle. We study conjugacies of the maps that admit such attractors and show that although the maps exhibit universality - they approach a certain normal form when looked at small scales - two maps in general can not be smoothly comjugate on their critical attractors. This result extends the paradigm of "universality but no rigid…

Invariant space under Hénon renormalization : Intrinsic geometry of Cantor attractor

Three dimensional Hńon-like map $$ F(x,y,z) = (f(x) - ε(x,y,z),\ x,\ δ(x,y,z)) $$ is defined on the cubic box $ B $. An invariant space under renormalization would appear only in higher dimension. Consider renormalizable maps each of which satisfies the condition $$ \partial_y δ\circ F(x,y,z) + \partial_z δ\circ F(x,y,z) \cdot \partial_x δ(x,y,z) \equiv 0 $$ for $ (x,y,z) \in B $. Denote the set of maps satisfying the above condition be $ \mathcal N $. Then the set $ \mathcal N \cap \mathcal I(\bar ε) $ is invariant under the renormalization operator where $ \mathcal I(\bar ε) $ is the set of …

Golden mean Siegel disk universality and renormalization

We provide a computer-assisted proof of one of the central open questions in one-dimensional renormalization theory -- universality of the golden-mean Siegel disks. We further show that for every function in the stable manifold of the golden-mean renormalization fixed point the boundary of the Siegel disk is a quasicircle which coincides with the closure of the critical orbit, and that the dynamics on the boundary of the Siegel disk is rigid. Furthermore, we extend the renormalization from one-dimensional analytic maps with a golden-mean Siegel disk to two-dimensional dissipative Hénon-like ma…

Dynamics and Universality of Unimodal Mappings with Infinite Criticality

We consider infinitely renormalizable unimodal mappings with topological type which is periodic under renormalization. We study the limiting behavior of fixed points of the renormalization operator as the order of the critical point increases to infinity. It is shown that a limiting dynamics exists, with a critical point that is flat, but still having a well-behaved analytic continuation to a neighborhood of the real interval pinched at the critical point. We study the dynamics of limiting maps and prove their rigidity. In particular, the sequence of fixed points of renormalization for finite …

Period Doubling in Area-Preserving Maps: An Associated One Dimensional Problem

It has been observed that the famous Feigenbaum-Coullet-Tresser period doubling universality has a counterpart for area-preserving maps of $\field{R}^2$. A renormalization approach has been used in a computer-assisted proof of existence of an area-preserving map with orbits of all binary periods by J.-P. Eckmann, H. Koch and P. Wittwer (1982 and 1984). As it is the case with all non-trivial universality problems in non-dissipative systems in dimensions more than one, no analytic proof of this period doubling universality exists to date. We argue that the period doubling renormalization fixed p…
