Douady's optimality conjecture for the Bruno condition
Douady's optimality conjecture for the Bruno condition
Let be a rotation number, and call it a Bruno number when its Bruno sum is finite. A polynomial has a Siegel disk of rotation number if it has an invariant disk on which its dynamics is analytically conjugate to the rotation by .
Douady's optimality conjecture. If is not a Bruno number, then no polynomial of degree at least can have a Siegel disk of rotation number .
The conjecture identifies the Bruno condition as necessary for the existence of Siegel disks. Its special case for degree was proved by Yoccoz, while the general statement is recalled here as open.
