Conjecture on self-similarity of non-escaping loci

About 3 years old · traced to

Let d0d_0 and d∞d_\infty be the degree parameters of the family Fcc∈C∗\\{F_c\\}_{c\in\mathbb{C}^*}, and let

Md0,d∞={c∈C∗:Fcn(1)↛0 and Fcn(1)↛∞}\mathcal{M}_{d_0,d_\infty}=\left\{c\in\mathbb{C}^*: F_c^n(1)\not\to 0\text{ and }F_c^n(1)\not\to\infty\right\}

be its non-escaping locus. For a stationary type irrational number θ=[0;N,N,N,…]\theta=[0;N,N,N,\ldots], write c(θ)c(\theta) for the corresponding parameter.

Self-similarity conjecture. For every stationary type irrational number θ=[0;N,N,N,…]\theta=[0;N,N,N,\ldots], the non-escaping locus Md0,d∞\mathcal{M}_{d_0,d_\infty} is asymptotically self-similar at c(θ)c(\theta), and there is a hyperbolic renormalization operator associated to it.

This is presented as preliminary evidence for asymptotic self-similarity, with the expected mechanism being hyperbolicity of an appropriate renormalization operator. The source gives no resolution of the assertion.
