6 The Hubbard tree H c of f c : z z 2 + c, if exists, is the smallest topologically finite tree in K c containing the orbit of the critical point 0. It is automatically forward invariant.

7 The Hubbard tree H c of f c : z z 2 + c, if exists, is the smallest topologically finite tree in K c containing the orbit of the critical point 0. It is automatically forward invariant. H c exists for many "good" values of c. If postcritically finite, Markov partition and matrix M c and e htop(fc,hc) = λ leading (M c ).

44 Theorem (W. Thurston, 2011). The space PM(d) embeds in the space of monic centered degree d (non-dynamical) polynomials as a spine for the set of polynomials with distinct roots, that is, the complement of the discriminant locus. The spine consists of polynomials whose critical values are all on the unit circle. Thus π 1 (PM(d)) is the d-strand braid group and all higher homotopy groups are trivial (i.e. PM(d) is a K(B d, 1) space). Proof. Take any degree d polynomial P with no multiple zeros, and look at log(p), thought of as a map from C \ roots to an infinite cylinder. For each critical point, draw the two separatrices going upward (i.e., this is the curve through each critical point of P that maps by P to a vertical half-line on the cylinder a ray in C pointed opposite the direction to the origin). Then make the finite lamination in a disk that joins the ending angles of these separatrices. This is a degree-d major set. Conversely, for each major set, there is a contractible family of polynomials whose separatrices end at the corresponding pairs of angles. To pick a canonical representative of each of these families : look at polynomials whose critical values are on the unit circle. This forms a spine for the complement of the discriminant locus for degree d polynomials.
