2 Parameter Space 1. PROBLEM: To study cubic polynomial maps F with a marked critical point which is periodic under F. Normal form: If F is monic and centered, then it is uniquely determined by the marked critical point a and the associated critical value v = F(a): F(z) = (z a) 2 (z + 2a) + v. Thus the parameter space for the family of all such maps F = F a, v is the set of pairs (a, v) C 2, where F (a) = 0 and F (a) = v.
3 The Curve S p The period p curve S p consists of those (a, v) C 2 such that the marked critical point a has period exactly p. A caricature of S p = C(S p ) E 1 E Np The connectedness locus C(S p ) is compact. Each escape region E h is open, with E h = C D. More precisely, E h is naturally a µ h -fold covering of C D, where µ h 1 is called the multiplicity of E h.
4 Computation of the degree The simplest invariant of S p is the degree deg(s p ). Note that the disjoint union n p S n polynomial function (a, v) F p a, v(a) a is the zero set of a of degree 3 p 1. Hence 3 p 1 = n p deg(s n). It follows that deg(s p ) grows exponentially: deg(s p ) 3 p 1 as p. The degree can also be described as the number of escape regions counted with multiplicity: deg(s p ) = N p h=1 µ h.
5 The smooth compactification S p THEOREM: S p is a smooth affine curve (conjecturally always connected). Adding an ideal point at infinity h to each E h, we obtain a smooth compact complex 1-manifold S p = S p 1. N p We would like to compute the genus of this curve. But will settle for computing the Euler characteristic, since we don t know that it is connected.
6 Computation of the Euler characteristic of S p The computation will proceed in six steps: Step 1. S p is a translation surface. In other words, we can construct a nowhere vanishing holomorphic 1-form dt on S p. Step 2. Some classical geometry. Considered as a 1-form on S p, dt is meromorphic, with zeros or poles only at the ideal points. The Euler characteristic can then be expressed as a sum, with one integer contribution from each ideal point. Step 3. The Branner-Hubbard Puzzle for maps in E h. In order to understand asymptotic behavior near h, we must first study the dynamics of maps F E h. Step 4. The Kiwi Puzzle: Non-Archimedian Dynamics. This will convert the Branner-Hubbard dynamic information into asymptotic information about the differences a F j (a). Step 5. Local Computation: The contribution of each h to χ(s p ). Step 6. A Global Identity. This will help piece the complicated local information together into a relatively simple formula.
7 Step 1. S p is a translation surface Define the Hamiltonian function H p : C 2 C by H p (a, v) = F p (a) a, where F = F a,v. This vanishes everywhere on S p, with dh p 0 on S p. Let t ( a, v ) be any solution to the Hamiltonian differential equation da = H p dt v, dv = H p dt a. The local solutions t (a, v) = ( a(t), v(t) ) are holomorphic, with dhp dt = Hp a + Hp v Hence they lie in curves H p = constant. da dt dv dt 0. Those solutions which lie in S p provide a local holomorphic parametrization, unique up to a translation, t t + constant. Equivalently, the holomorphic 1-form dt on S p well defined and non-zero everywhere. is
8 A typical parameter space picture This is a region in the t-plane for the period 4 curve S 4.
9 Step 2. Some Classical Geometry Consider dt as a meromorphic 1-form on the closed manifold S p. It has zeros or poles only at the ideal points h. We can compute χ(s p ) = #(poles) #(zeros). More precisely, if ord(dt, h ) = { the multiplicity of the pole at h, or minus the multiplicity of the zero, then χ(s p ) = N p ord(dt, h ). j=1
10 The winding number LEMMA. There exists a local parameter η for S p around h, and a local integral t of dt, so that t = η w h. (In particular dt = 0.) h Here w h is a non-zero integer to be called the winding number of E h. Then dt = w h η wh 1 dη. Therefore ord(dt, h ) = 1 w h. Hence χ(s p ) = N p ( 1 wh ) = N p w h. j=1 THEOREM: h w h = (p 2) deg(s p ).
11 Euler characteristic of the period p curve S p Period 1: χ = +2 Period 2: χ = +2 Period 3: χ = 0 Period 4: χ = -28 Period 5: χ = -184 (by Laura De Marco) Period 6: χ = -784 Period 7: χ = Period 8: χ = Period 9: χ = Period 10: χ = Period 11: χ = Period 12: χ = Period 13: χ = Period 14: χ = Period 15: χ = Period 16: χ = Period 17: χ = Period 18: χ =
12 Step 3. The Branner-Hubbard Puzzle. Let a j = F j (a)
13 Step 4. The Kiwi Puzzle: Non-Archimedian Dynamics Instead of working over the field of complex numbers, work with a different algebraically closed field which is complete with a well behaved norm: Let S be the field of all formal infinite series z = c 0 ξ r 0 + c 1 ξ r 1 +. Here each c j is to be an algebraic number, c j Q, while r 0 < r 1 < are rational numbers tending to +, and ξ is a formal indeterminate. If c 0 0, then the norm is defined by z = exp( r 0 ) > 0 (or log z = r 0 ); while 0 = 0. This norm is multiplicative z 1 z 2 = z 1 z 2 }, and non-archimedian: z 1 + z 2 max { z 1, z 2.
14 Application to an escape region E h. Replace the marked critical point a C by a constant element a = ξ 1 S, with log a = +1. Define F v : S S by F(z) = (z a) 2 (z + 2a) + v. Here v S must be chosen so that the orbit F : a = a 0 a 1 a 2 has period p. (For each such choice the series are locally convergent, and determine a parametrization of a neighborhood of some j S p.) Define the Green s function G : S [0, ) by G(z) = 1 lim n 3 n log+ F n (z). Then, as usual, G ( F(z) ) = 3 G(z).
15 Construction of the puzzle For the escaping critical point a, it is easy to check that G( a) = +1.) The locus {z S ; G(z) < 1/3 n 1 } is a union of finitely many round balls, which are called puzzle pieces of level n. The region G(z) > 1/3 n in each such puzzle piece is a round annulus A of the form A = { z ; R 1 < z ẑ < R 2 }, with modulus log(r2 /R 1 ). Such an annulus of level n surrounding the point ẑ = a j denoted by A n j. will be There is an associated marked grid, where the grid at level n for a j is marked if and only if A n j = A n 0.
16 Kiwi s Theorem Let F : S S be the formal map corresponding to an escape region E h S p. THEOREM: The Kiwi marked grid for F is identical to the Branner-Hubbard marked grid for any classical map F E h. Furthermore, this marked grid determines and is determined by the sequence of norms a a j. In particular, log a a j = 3 A n j =A n 0 mod(a n 0 ) 1. Here log a a j = r if and only if, for F = F a, v E h, a a j c a r as a, where c 0 is some constant in Q C.
17 Step 5. Local Computation We must compute the winding number w h in terms of the asymptotic behavior of the critical orbit {a j }. The key step in the proof is to estimate the derivative da dt relates the 1-form dt to the critical orbit. Passing to formal power series, a non-trivial computation shows that p 1 da dt = a(a a j ). j=1 which The rest of the argument is just elementary calculus, using the fact that t = local uniformizing parameter w j = a w j /µ j.
18 The local formula: LEMMA. For each escape region E h, with multiplicity µ h, the winding number can be expressed as a sum w h = (p 2)µ h + p 1 µ h log a a j. j=1 Hence N p h=1 w h = (p 2)deg(S p ) + h ( µh log a a j ). j ( LEMMA: h µh log a a j ) = 0 for each j. This will complete the proof that wh = (p 2)deg(S p ).
19 Step 6. The Global Identity For any complex number a 0, consider the intersection of the line {(a, v) ; a = a 0 } with the affine curve S p. Generically, the number of intersection points is equal to deg(s p ). Number them as (a 0, v k ) with 1 k deg(s p ). Each such pair determines a map F a0, v k : C C. Let a 0 a 1 k a 2 k be the period p critical orbit under F a0, v k. LEMMA. For each fixed 0 < j < p, the product (a 0 a j k ) k is a non-zero complex constant, independent of a 0. Proof. This product is holomorphic as a function of a 0, with no zeros or poles. (Perhaps this product always equals +1??)
20 Now assume that a 0 is large. Then the line {(a, v) ; a = a 0 } intersects each escape region E h exactly µ h times. Number the intersection points as (a 0, v h,l ) with 1 l µ h, and number the corresponding orbit points as a j h l. Then N p µ h h=1 l=1 ( ) a aj h l = constant 0. Now pass to formal power series.the norm a a j h l is independent of l, so we can write simply a a j h µ h = 1. Hence h This completes the proof! h µ h log a a j h = 0 for each j.

2. A harmonic conjugate always exists locally: if u is a harmonic function in an open set U, then for any disk D(z 0, r) U, there is f, which is analytic in D(z 0, r) and satisfies that Re f u. Since such
