Sections 7--10 survey of some topics from the dynamics of quadratic rational maps. There are few proofs. Section 9 attempts to explore and picture moduli space by means of complex one-dimensional slices. Section 10 describes the theory of real quadratic rational maps. For convenience in exposition, some technical details have been relegated to appendices: Appendix A outlines some classical algebra. Appendix B describes the topology of the space of rational maps of degree \\[d\\]. Appendix C outlines several convenient normal forms for quadratic rational maps, and computes relations between various invariants.\\break Appendix D describes some geometry associated with the curves \\[\\Per_n(\\mu)\\subset\\M\\]. Appendix E describes totally disconnected Julia sets containing no critical points. Finally, Appendix F, written in collaboration with Tan Lei, describes an example of a connected quadratic Julia set for which no two components of the complement have a common boundary point.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1992-09-20T00:00:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "disconnected julia sets containing", "real quadratic rational maps", "convenient normal forms", "common boundary point", "connected quadratic julia set" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "1992math......9221M" } } }
