Then the Lebesgue measure of the Julia set $J(p_a)$ is equal to zero. As part of the proof we discuss a property of the critical point to be {\\it persistently recurrent}, and relate our results to corresponding ones for real one dimensional maps. In particular, we show that in the persistently recurrent case the restriction $p_a|\\omega(0)$ is topologically minimal and has zero topological entropy. The Douady-Hubbard-Yoccoz rigidity theorem follows this result.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1991-05-28T00:00:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "julia set", "quadratic polynomial", "lebesgue measure", "irrational indifferent periodic points", "douady-hubbard-yoccoz rigidity theorem" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
