PN-III-P1-1.1-TE-2019-2275: Partial Hyperbolicity for Polynomial Diffeomorphisms of C2


TE 138/2020


General Information:

This project is financed by The Executive Unit for Financing Higher Education, Research, Development and Innovation (UEFISCDI), Romania, and has a duration of two years 2021-2022. The host institution is the "Simion Stoilow" Institute of Mathematics of the Romanian Academy (IMAR).

Description:

Holomorphic dynamics in one or several variables is an exciting and very active field of mathematics. In this project, we propose to study some new classes of partially hyperbolic Hénon maps, in the real and in the complex setting. We propose to identify some novel regions of partially hyperbolicity, and thus expand the current knowledge of the parameter space of complex Hénon maps. We will start by looking at the class of Hénon maps with a semi-parabolic fixed (or periodic) point that come from small perturbations of quadratic polynomials with a parabolic fixed (or periodic) point. By work of Radu and Tanase we have a complete topological description for the dynamics of these maps on their Julia sets and we know that these maps lie in the boundary of hyperbolicity of the Hénon connectedness locus. In this project we would like to show that they also belong to the boundary of the complex horseshoe region. We know that we can perturb these maps in nice ways in C2, so that we have continuity of the Julia sets J and J+. We would now like to study the ergodic properties of these maps as well, and investigate for example the continuity of the Hausdorff dimension of their Julia sets with respect to parameters. Furthermore, we would like to study partially hyperbolic Hénon maps, which do not come from small perturbations. To this goal, we propose to study a new class of Hénon maps with two semi-parabolic basins, and understand the sequence of tangencies that leads to the creation of the second semi-parabolic basin. This project is very ambitious, and requires new analytic techniques, and a fine control of the weak expansion in the semi-parabolic case. This project combines elements of Dynamical Systems and Ergodic Theory, Analysis, Functional Analysis, Topology, and Several Complex Variables.
