When the dynamics of quadratic polynomials is changed piecewise by a combinatorial construction, a general theorem yields the corresponding homeomorphism h: E to E in the parameter plane. Each h has two fixed points in E, and a countable family of mutually homeomorphic fundamental domains. Possible generalizations to other families of polynomials or rational mappings are discussed. The homeomorphisms on subsets E of M constructed by surgery are extended to homeomorphisms of M, and employed to study groups of non-trivial homeomorphisms h: M to M . It is shown that these groups have the cardinality of the continuum, and they are not compact.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2003-12-14T15:26:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37F45" ], "keywords": [ "mandelbrot set", "general theorem yields", "mutually homeomorphic fundamental domains", "quasi-conformal surgery", "parameter plane" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2003math.....12279J" } } }
