Tan Lei similarity for cubic polynomial parameter spaces
Tan Lei similarity for cubic polynomial parameter spaces
Let be the parameter space under consideration, let be a Misiurewicz map, and let be the unique pre-periodic point near with . Define
Tan Lei Similarity. Under iterated magnification, the connectedness locus around a Misiurewicz map looks more and more like the filled Julia set of around the free co-critical point , up to a fixed scale change and rotation. Moreover, the correspondence is univalent throughout some neighborhood of , so that it gives a dynamically defined holomorphic local coordinate; in this coordinate, near looks more and more like the dynamic plane for near , without a preliminary scale change or rotation. The conjecture extends Tan Lei's quadratic similarity phenomenon to these parameter spaces; the source presents numerical examples and related ray-order observations, but no resolution.
