Fix $p\\in\\N$ and assume that all dynamic rays which are invariant under $f^p$ land. An interior $p$-periodic point is a fixed point of $f^p$ which is not the landing point of any periodic ray invariant under $f^p$. Points belonging to attracting, Siegel or Cremer cycles are examples of interior periodic points. For functions as above we show that rays which are invariant under $f^p$, together with their landing points, separate the plane into finitely many regions, each containing exactly one interior $p-$periodic point or one parabolic immediate basin invariant under $f^p$. This result generalizes the Goldberg-Milnor Separation Theorem for polynomials, and has several corollaries. It follows, for example, that two periodic Fatou components can always be separated by a pair of periodic rays landing together; that there cannot be Cremer points on the boundary of Siegel discs; that \"hidden components\" of a bounded Siegel disc have to be either wandering domains or preperiodic to the Siegel disc itself; or that there are only finitely many non-repelling cycles of any given period, regardless of the number of singular values.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2014-07-04T14:25:54.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37F10", "37F20" ], "keywords": [ "entire transcendental maps", "periodic point", "siegel disc", "singular values", "parabolic immediate basin invariant" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1112.0531B" } } }
