Furthermore, we show that any two attracting and parabolic exponential maps are conjugate on their sets of escaping points; in fact, we construct an analog of Douady's \"pinched disk model\" for the Julia sets of these maps. On the other hand, we show that two exponential maps are generally not conjugate on their sets of escaping sets. Using the correspondence with our model, we also answer several questions about escaping endpoints of external rays, such as when a ray is differentiable in such an endpoints or how slowly these endpoints can escape to infinity.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2005-12-07T14:59:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37F10", "30D05" ], "keywords": [ "escaping sets", "topological dynamics", "escaping points", "parabolic exponential maps", "model dynamics" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 38, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2003math......9107R" } } }
