The alpha-limit conjecture for generic real polynomial maps

About 8 years old · traced to

Let f:R2→R2f:\mathbb{R}^2\to\mathbb{R}^2 be a generic polynomial map of degree n≥3n\geq3. A point of the Julia set JFJ_F of a rational map F:R2→R2F:\mathbb{R}^2\to\mathbb{R}^2 is regular if some neighborhood UU has JF∩UJ_F\cap U as a connected 11-dimensional submanifold and contains points from two different basins. For a point xx, let αNf(x)\alpha_{N_f}(x) denote its alpha-limit set, and let NfN_f be the Newton map of ff.

Alpha-limit conjecture. There is some non-empty open subset A⊂f(RP2)A\subset f(\mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^2) such that αNf(x)\alpha_{N_f}(x) is equal to the set of non-regular points of the boundary of JNfJ_{N_f} for all x∈Ax\in A.

This is one of the proposed two-dimensional analogues of Barna's simple-dynamics results for real Newton maps. The parser supplies no evidence that the conjecture has been resolved.
