In the spirit of Thurston's work, we consider the space of all \\emph{cubic symmetric polynomials} $f_\\lambda(z)=z^3+\\lambda^2 z$ in a series of three articles. In the present paper, the first in the series, we construct a lamination $C_sCL$ together with the induced factor space ${\\mathbb{S}}/C_sCL$ of the unit circle ${\\mathbb{S}}$. As will be verified in the third paper of the series, ${\\mathbb{S}}/C_sCL$ is a monotone model of the \\emph{cubic symmetric connected locus}, i.e. the space of all cubic symmetric polynomials with connected Julia sets.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-01-27T10:43:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37F20", "37F10", "37F50" ], "keywords": [ "symmetric cubic laminations", "unit circle", "cubic symmetric polynomials", "symmetric connected locus", "monotone model" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 37, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
