A parameter c 0 ∈ 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 c0 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 → ∞.
We give a topological model of the critical locus for complex Hénon maps that are perturbations of the quadratic polynomial with disconnected Julia set.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
