Pilgrim's finite curve attractor conjecture
Pilgrim's finite curve attractor conjecture
Let be a post-critically finite rational map that is not a flexible Lattès map. A simple closed curve on is called essential when it is essential in the punctured sphere, and denotes the full preimage of a curve under the -fold iterate of . Pilgrim's finite curve attractor conjecture. There exists a finite set of homotopy classes of essential simple closed curves on such that, for any simple closed curve on , every essential component of belongs to for all sufficiently large . This conjecture describes a finite attractor for the pullback dynamics of curves associated with a post-critically finite rational map; the supplied source does not state whether it has been resolved.
