52 rectifying the sketch of proof. For the first obstacle as the λ Ω (z) is comparable to d(z, ) on (ɛ). There exists a constant C 3 > 1 such that d Ω ( (ɛ/c 3 ), (ɛ)) > C 1. Replacing ɛ by ɛ/(c C 3 ) in the estimates only changes C and ensures that w kn+1 ( (ɛ)). Disques de Siegel, implosion parabolique et aire des ensembles de Julia p. 25/27

53 rectifying the sketch of proof. For the first obstacle as the λ Ω (z) is comparable to d(z, ) on (ɛ). There exists a constant C 3 > 1 such that d Ω ( (ɛ/c 3 ), (ɛ)) > C 1. Replacing ɛ by ɛ/(c C 3 ) in the estimates only changes C and ensures that w kn+1 ( (ɛ)). Replacing further ɛ by ɛ β /C 2 also only changes C and ensures that the points z j and their companions w j with k n < j < k n+1 belongs to (ɛ) as d(z j, ) β /C 2 d(z kn+1, c) ɛ β /C 2 Hence the full orbit of w 0,..., w kn+1 (ɛ) and thus in K(ɛ).

54 final estimate Finally an arbitrary z near with d = d(z, ) has an iterate z k0 with d = d(z k0, c) C 2 d 1/β. Let w k0 K(ɛ) be a point with d Ω (w k0, z k0 ) C (d ) α. Then there is a point w 0 K(ɛ) with d Ω (w 0, z 0 ) C (d ) α C d α, where α = α /β and C = C C2 α = C 1ΛC2 2α ( CC3 ɛ ) βα.

55 final comments McMullen uses a very nice idea to prove the hyperbolic estimate and the theorem on nearby critical visits. The idea being: The boundary of is a quasi circle so the linearizer φ : D of P extends to a quasi conformal homeomorphism also denoted φ : C C. The conjugate degree 2 map f = φ P φ 1 coincides on D with the corresponding rigid rotation R. Its iterates are uniformly quasi regular and tends to be close to corresponding iterates of R near D. With the aid of this he maneges to prove all the above mentioned theorems without making explicit reference to the usual Blaschke model described by Douady in his 1987 Bourbaki seminar.
