Distortion control of conjugacies between quadratic polynomials. Sci China Math, 2010, 53(3): , doi: /s Introduction There are many quantities to measure the distance of a univalent function f from Möbius transformations besides of the C 0 -topology, for example, the Schwartz derivative S f, or the nonlinearity f /f.in[3],we introduce a new type of distortion control and prove an a priori bound of the distortion by applying this new type of distortion control. Another version of this a priori bound theorem is in particular used for complex dynamics. In this work, we use this theorem to give an alternative proof of Douady-Hubbard s ray-landing theorem for quadratic Misiurewicz polynomials. 1.1 Definition of the distortion Let E C be an open set and φ : E C be a univalent holomorphic function. Define D(φ, E) =sup{ mod(φ(a)) mod(a) }, where A C are annuli with finite moduli and A E, and by abuse of notation φ(a) denotes the annulus in C bounded by φ( A) (the map φ might not be defined on some points of A).

2 626 CUI GuiZhen et al. Sci China Math March 2010 Vol. 53 No A priori bound Let g be a geometrically finite rational map, i.e., the post-critical set P g (the closure of the union of all the critical orbits) has a finite (or empty) accumulation set. Assume that the Fatou set of g is non-empty. Let X 0 be the union of finitely many periodic cycles contained in the Julia set of g. It is known that every point in X 0 is either parabolic or repelling. Set X 1 = g 1 (X 0 )\X 0, X n+1 = g n (X 1 )andx = n 0 X n. Now for each y X 0,chooseU y a simply connected neighborhood of y satisfying the following properties: (1) These domains U y are disjoint pairwise. (2) For each n 1andeachpointx X n with g n (x) =y X 0,letU x be the connected component of g n (U y ) containing x, and then the map g n : U x \{x} U y \{y} is a covering (this implies that U x P g is either empty or equal to {x}). Denote by D the unit disc. For any point y X 0, there is a Riemann mapping χ from U y to D with χ(y) =0. SetU y (r) =χ 1 ({z : z <r}). For any point x X n,setu x (r) to be the component of g n (U g n (x)(r)) that contains the point x. Refer to [3] for the next theorem. Theorem 1.1 (A priori bound). Let (g, {U x } x X ) be a pair defined as above. Let E be an open set compactly contained in C \ X. Set n V n (r) =C k=0 x X k U x (r) for n 0. Then there exist a constant r 0 > 0 and a positive function C(r) defined on (0,r 0 ) with C(r) 0(as r 0) such that for any n 0 and any univalent holomorphic map φ : V n (r) C, 1.3 External rays D(φ, E) C(r). Now let us consider quadratic polynomials Q c (z) =z 2 + c. DenotebyK c the filled-in Julia set of Q c.for any c C, there exists a conformal map φ c defined on a neighborhood of the infinity such that φ c ( ) =, φ c (z)/z 1asz and φ c Q c (z) =(φ c (z)) 2.Themapφ c is called the Böttcher coordinate of Q c at the infinity. If K c is connected, then φ c defines a Riemann mapping φ c : C \ K c C \ D. Set R c (θ) ={φ 1 c (re 2πiθ ),r >1}. It is called the dynamical θ-ray for Q c. Even if K c is disconnected, φ c can be extended to a conformal map from a domain U whose boundary passes through the critical point zero to {z : z >r} for some constant r>1. In particular, the critical value c is contained in U. Recall that the Mandelbrot set is defined by M = {c : {Q n c (c)} n 0 is bounded}. Equivalently, the point c is contained in M if and only if K c is connected. Define Φ(c) =φ c (c). It turns out that Φ : C\M C\D is a conformal map with Φ(z)/z 1asz (refer to [4]). Set R M (θ) ={Φ 1 (re 2πiθ ),r > 1}. It is called the parameter θ-ray. Theorem 1.2 (Pre-periodic external rays landing). Let c M be a parameter such that a strictly pre-periodic dynamical ray R c (θ) lands at c. Then the parameter ray R M (θ) lands also at c. Such a polynomial Q c is called a Misiurewicz polynomial. This theorem is proved by Douady and Hubbard using a perturbation argument (refer to [5, p. 94]). We will reprove this theorem in this paper. Our approach is not known in the literature. 2 Various types of distortions Let E C be an open set and φ : E C be a univalent holomorphic function with D(φ, E) <. The next lemma is easy to verify.
3 CUI GuiZhen et al. Sci China Math March 2010 Vol. 53 No Lemma 2.1. (a) D(φ 1,φ(E)) = D(φ, E). (b) D(γ φ β,β 1 (E)) = D(φ, E), for any Möbius transformations β and γ of C. (c) D(φ, E 1 ) D(φ, E) if E 1 E. (d) Assume that φ n : E C is a sequence of univalent functions that converges locally uniformly to a univalent function φ. ThenD(φ, E) lim inf n D(φ n,e). 2.1 Hyperbolic sup-norm of the Schwarzian derivative Let E C be a hyperbolic open set. Denote by ρ E (z) thepoincarédensityofe. Let φ : E C be a univalent function. The Schwarzian derivative of φ is defined by S φ (z) = φ (z) φ (z) 3 2 ( φ ) 2 (z) φ. (z) Theorem 2.2. There is a universal constant C 1 > 0 such that sup S φ (z) ρ E (z) 2 C 1 D(φ, E). (1) z E To prove this theorem, we need the following lemmas. Refer to [3] for the proof of the next lemma. Lemma 2.3. Let E C be a hyperbolic open set with 0, 1, E. Let φ : E C be a univalent function with 0, 1 and fixed. Then log φ (z) 5πD(φ, E) for any point z E \{ }. Lemma 2.4. There is a universal constant C 2 > 0 such that sup S φ (z) ρ E (z) 2 C 2. (2) z E This lemma is a generalization of the classical theorem of Kraus-Nehari (see below), and is first proved by Beardon and Gehring (see [1]) with the explicit constant C 2 = 3. Here we give an independent proof using only the estimation of PoincarédensityandKöebe distortion theorem. The following results are known: (A) (refer to Theorem 2.1 in [6]) For any annulus A C with mod(a) > 5log2/(2π), there exists an essential round annulus B A (i.e., B separates the boundary components of A) such that mod(b) mod(a) 5log2/(2π). (3) (B) (Kraus-Nehari theorem, refer to [6, p. 60]) Let D be a round disc in C with Poincaré densityρ D and f : D C be a univalent function. Then sup z D S f (z) ρ 2 D (z) 3/2. (4) We say that two positive quantities ρ 1 and ρ 2 are comparable (denoted by ρ 1 ρ 2 ) if there is a universal constant C>1 such that 1/C < ρ 1 /ρ 2 <C. (C) (Beardon-Pommerenke theorem, refer to Theorem 1 in [2] or Theorem 2.3 in [6]) Let U be a hyperbolic open set contained in C with Poincaré densityρ U (z), and then 1/ρ U (z) d(z, U)(1 + mod(z,u)), (5) where d(z, U) is the Euclidean distance from z to the boundary of U and mod(z,u) is the supremum of the moduli of essential round annuli in U whose core curves pass through the point z (if no such annulus exists, set mod(z,u) = 0). Denote by ρ A(R) the Poincaré density of the annulus A(R) ={z :1/R < z <R}. Lemma 2.5. For any univalent function ψ : A(R) C with R>32, we have ( 2 S ψ (1) ρ 2 12 ) 2 A(R) (1) log R. π(r 32)
4 628 CUI GuiZhen et al. Sci China Math March 2010 Vol. 53 No. 3 Proof. Fix a constant r with 32 <r<r. Then there is a quasiconformal map h of C such that h = ψ on the annulus A(r) ={z :1/r < z <r}. By post-composing with a Möbius transformation, we may assume that h is normalized by fixing 0, 1and. Note that the Schwartzian derivative S ψ (1) remains unchanged after composing a Möbius transformation. Let h 1 be the normalized quasiconformal map of C with Beltrami coefficient μ h1 = μ h in D(r) ={z : z <r} and μ h1 = 0 otherwise. Then h 1 is holomorphic in Δ(1/r) ={z : z > 1/r}. Seth 2 = h h 1 1. It is holomorphic in h 1 (D(r)). By the composition formula of the Schwarzian derivative, we have S ψ (1) = S h2 h 1 (1) = S h1 (1) + S h2 (1)(h 1(1)) 2. Since h 1 is univalent in Δ(1/r), where the Poincaré densityis2r/(r 2 z 2 1), by (4) we have S h1 (1) (r2 1) 2 4r (6) Since h 1 ({1 < z <r}) separates {0, 1} from h 1 ({ z = r}), the Euclidean distance between the point 1andh 1 ({ z = r}) isatleastr 1 := 2 6 (r 32) by (3). So h 2 is univalent on the disc D(1,r 1 )={z : z 1 <r 1 }, where the Poincaré densityis2r 1 /(r1 2 z 1 2 ). Thus (r 32)2 S h2 (1) (7) 2 by (4). Now applying Koebe 1/4-theorem to h 1 on D(1, 1 1/r), and noticing that its image avoids the origin, we have h 1 (1) 4r/(r 1). Now let r R, and then we have ( S ψ (1) 1 (R +1) (R 32) (R 32) ) 3 4R 2 2 (R 1) 2 Note that ρ 2 A(R) (1) = 4(log R)2 /(π 2 ). The lemma is proved. ProofofLemma2.4. For any point z E, denotebyd E the disc centered at z with radius d(z, E), and by A an essential round annulus in E with the maximal modulus whose core curve passes through z (if such annulus exists). Then 1/ρ E (z) d(z, E)(1 + mod(a)) by (5). Case 1. mod(a) log 64/π. In this case ρ 1 E (z) d(z, E) ρ 1 D (z), and φ is univalent in D. So S φ (z) ρ E (z) 2 S φ(z) ρ D (z) Case 2. mod(a) > log 64/π. Weproveatfirstthatρ E (z) is comparable to ρ A (z). Applying a linear map to E if necessary, we may assume z =1andA = A(R) forsomer>1. As log R π =mod(a) =mod(z,u) > 6log2, π we have actually R>64. Thus 1/64 d(1, E) 1. From (5), ρ E (z) is comparable to 1/mod(A) which is 2ρ A (z). Thus ρ E (z) is comparable to ρ A (z). By Lemma 2.5 we have S φ (z) ρ E (z) 2 S ( φ(z) 2 12 ) 2 ( ρ A (z) 2 log R 2 12 ) 2 log 64. π(r 32) 32π This ends the proof. Proof of Theorem 2.2. Assume that D(φ, E) =δ<. By Lemma 2.4 the left-hand side of (1) is bounded by a universal constant. So we only need to consider the case when δ is small. For example we may assume that δ<1/64. The symbols C below denote some universal constants.
5 CUI GuiZhen et al. Sci China Math March 2010 Vol. 53 No For any z E, choosez 1 E such that ρ E1 (z) 2ρ E (z) fore 1 := E \{z 1 }.ChoosenowtwoMöbius transformations β and γ such that β(z 1 )=, β(z) =1,d(1, β(e 1 )) = 2 such that ψ := γ φ β 1 fixes 0, 1and. SetG := β(e 1 ). It is contained in C. Wehave S φ (z) ρ 2 E (z) 4 S φ(z) ρ 2 E 1 (z) =4 S ψ(1). (8) (1) Since δ<1/64, we have δ(1 + log δ ) 2 2 δ. Thus in order to prove (1), we only need to show that S ψ (1) ρ 2 G (1) C 3δ(1 + log δ ) 2. (9) Case A. mod(1,g) log δ /π. By our choice of G, wehaved(1, G) = 2. By (5), ρ G (1) 2 (1+mod(1,G)) 2 (1+ log δ ) 2. Applying Lemma 2.3 to ψ, weget log ψ (z) 5πδ for z G. Thisimpliesthatψ maps {z : z 1 < 2} into A δ := {e 6πδ w e 6πδ }. Therefore ψ ({z : z 1 1}) is contained in B δ := {z A δ : d p (z,ψ (1)) d 0 (0, 1/2)} by Ahlfors-Schwarz lemma, where d p is the Poincaré metricona δ,andd 0 is the Poincaré metric on the unit disc. One can then check easily that the Euclidean diameter of B δ is less than C 4 δ for a universal constant C 4 > 0. Thus ψ (z) ψ (1) C 4 δ for z 1 1. Now we may apply the Cauchy integral formula to ψ (z) onthecircle z 1 =1 to get that ψ (1), ψ (1) C 5 δ. Combining with ψ (1) A δ, we get S ψ (1) C 6 δ. Therefore S ψ (1) ρ G (1) 2 C 7 δ(1 + log δ ) 2. Case B. mod(1,g) > log δ /π > 6log2/π. Let A be an essential round annulus in G whose core curve passes through the point 1 with modulus equal to mod(1,g), which is equal to log R/π for some constant R>0. Then So R>1/δ > 64. From Lemma 2.5, we have S ψ (1) Case 2 ρ 2 G (1) Hence in both cases (9), (1) is proved. 2.2 Controlling distortions of conjugations ρ 2 G log R/π =mod(a) =mod(1,g) > log δ /π. S ( ψ(1) 2 12 ) 2 ( log R 2 12 ) 2 log δ ρ 2 <C 8 δ(1 + log δ ) 2. A (1) π(r 32) π(1/δ 32) Denote Q c (z) =z 2 + c. Denote by φ c the Böttcher coordinate of Q c at the infinity, M the Mandelbrot set, and Φ(c) =φ c (c). Then Φ : C \ M C \ D is a conformal map. Note that if Φ(c) 2, then φ 1 c is univalent in {z : z > 2} and hence φ c is univalent in E = {z : z > 8} { } by Koebe distortion theorem. Lemma 2.6. There is a universal constant C 0 > 0, such that for any points c 1,c 2 C \ M with Φ(c i ) 2(i =1, 2), we have c 1 c 2 C 0 D(ψ, E), where ψ = φ 1 c 2 φ c1. Proof. Let φ c (z) =z+b 0 +b 1 /z+ be the expansion at the infinity. By the formula φ c Q c (z) =φ c (z) 2, one may check that b 0 =0andb 1 = c/2. Therefore ψ(z) has the expansion ψ(z) =z +(c 1 c 2 )/(2z)+ at the infinity. Let Ψ(z) =1/ψ(1/z) =z + a 2 z 2 + a 3 z 3 +. Using ψ(1/z)ψ(z) 1 one obtains that a 2 =0and a 3 =(c 2 c 1 )/2. This implies that S Ψ (0) = 6a 3 =3(c 2 c 1 ). Let ρ(z) dz be the Poincaré metricon {z : z < 1/8}. Then ρ(0) = 16. Denote by ρ(z) dz the Poincaré metricone. Then S ψ (z) lim z ρ 2 (z) = S Ψ(0) ρ 2 (0) = 3(c 2 c 1 ). 256
6 630 CUI GuiZhen et al. Sci China Math March 2010 Vol. 53 No. 3 Therefore by Theorem 2.2, c 1 c 2 = S ψ (z) lim z ρ 2 C 0 D(ψ, E). (z) 3 Thurston algorithm We will apply our distortion control to univalent maps arising naturally from the Thurston algorithm of perturbations of rational maps. 3.1 c-equivalence between semi-rational maps Let F : C C be a branched covering with deg F 2. Its post-critical P F is defined to be the closure of the forward orbits of the critical points. Denote by P F the accumulation set of P F. We say that F is a sub-hyperbolic semi-rational map if P F is finite and either P F = or F is holomorphic in a neighborhood of P F and each cycle in P F is either attracting or super-attracting. Two sub-hyperbolic semi-rational maps F 1 and F 2 are c-equivalent if there is a pair of homeomorphisms (φ 0,φ 1 )ofc such that (a) φ 0 F 1 = F 2 φ 1 ; (b) the two maps φ 0 and φ 1 are isotopic rel P F1 ;and(c) φ 0 is holomorphic in a neighborhood of P F 1 (hence φ 1 is also holomorphic and coincides with φ 0 in a neighborhood of P F 1 ). 3.2 Thurston algorithm Let F : C C be a sub-hyperbolic semi-rational map with P F non-empty. Denote by P F the union of P F with all the periodic cycles in P F which meet critical points. Assume that F is holomorphic in a neighborhood of P F. Pick three distinct points in P F. In this section, we say that a homeomorphism of C is normalized if it fixes these three points. Assume that the sub-hyperbolic semi-rational map F is c-equivalent to a rational map f via a pair of normalized homeomorphisms (φ 0,φ 1 ). Since F is holomorphic in a neighborhood of P F,thereisa pair of normalized homeomorphisms (ξ 0,ξ 1 )ofc in the isotopy class of φ 0 rel P F, such that they are holomorphic and coincide with each other in a neighborhood of P F,andξ 0 F = f ξ 1. Furthermore, for n 2, there is a normalized homeomorphism ξ n of C in the isotopy class of ξ 0 rel P F such that ξ n 1 F = f ξ n and ξ n coincides with ξ 0 in a neighborhood of P F. Lemma 3.1. The sequence {ξ n } is uniformly convergent. This lemma is proved by Shishikura and Rees in the case that P F is finite (refer to [7]). One may check that their proof works in the case that F is a sub-hyperbolic semi-rational map. Assume that η 0 is a normalized homeomorphism of C such that η 0 is holomorphic in a neighborhood of P F. Then there is a unique normalized homeomorphism η 1 of C such that f 1 := η 0 F η1 1 is holomorphic. Obviously, η 1 is also holomorphic in a neighborhood of P F. Recursively, there is a unique normalized homeomorphism η n of C such that f n := η n 1 F ηn 1 is holomorphic. Then η n is also holomorphic in a neighborhood of P F. The sequence of rational maps {f n} is called a Thurston sequence of F. Theorem 3.2 (Convergence of the Thurston algorithm). Assumethesub-hyperbolicsemi-rational map F is c-equivalent to a rational map f via a pair of normalized homeomorphisms. Then the Thurston sequence {f n } converges uniformly to the rational map f. Moreover, the sequence {η n } is also uniformly convergent. Proof. By the definition we know that (a) φ 0 F = f φ 1 ; (b) the two maps φ 0 and φ 1 are isotopic rel P F ;and(c)bothφ 0 and φ 1 are holomorphic in a neighborhood of P F. Since F is holomorphic in a neighborhood of P F,wemaymodifyφ 0 in its homotopy class such that both φ 0 and φ 1 are holomorphic and coincide in a neighborhood of P F. As above, we have a sequence of normalized homeomorphisms
7 CUI GuiZhen et al. Sci China Math March 2010 Vol. 53 No {φ n } n 1 of C in the isotopy class of φ 0 rel P F, such that φ n 1 F = f φ n and φ n = φ 0 in a neighborhood of P F. Set ψ n = η n φ 1 n.thenψ n is holomorphic in a neighborhood of P f. We may assume furthermore that ψ 0 is a K-quasiconformal map of C by modifying φ 0 in its isotopy class. Then ψ n is also K-quasiconformal. It is easy to check that ψ n 1 f = f n ψ n. See the following diagram: C f C C f C f C φ n φ n 1 φ 2 φ 1 φ 0 C F C C F C F C η n η n 1 η 2 η 1 η 0 C f n C C f 2 C f 1 C. Since ψ 0 is a K-quasiconformal map of C and is holomorphic in a neighborhood W of P f (we may choose W such that it is contained in the Fatou set of f and f 1 (W ) W ), by the equation ψ n 1 f = f n ψ n, we see that ψ n is also a K-quasiconformal map of C and holomorphic in f n (W ). Therefore there is a subsequence of {ψ n } which converges uniformly to a limit quasiconformal map ψ of C. Moreover, ψ is holomorphic in f n (W ) which is the Fatou set. Thus ψ is holomorphic on C since the measure of the Julia set of f is zero. Combining with the normalization condition, we know that ψ is the identity. Therefore the entire sequence {ψ n } converges uniformly to the identity. It follows that the Thurston sequence {f n } converges uniformly to the rational map f. Because η n = ψ n φ n, from Lemma 3.1, we know that the sequence {φ n }, and therefore the sequence {η n } is uniformly convergent. 4 Misiurewicz-hyperbolic deformation We now begin to prove Theorem 1.2. Recall that φ c is the Böttcher coordinate of the quadratic polynomial Q c (z) =z 2 + c at infinity. For c M, themapφ c defines a Riemann representation φ c : C \ K c C \ D. The dynamical θ-ray is defined by R c (θ) ={φ 1 c (re 2πiθ ),r >1}. For the Mandelbrot set M, the Douady-Hubbard Riemann representation Φ : C \ M C \ D is defined by Φ(c) =φ c (c). The parameter θ-ray is defined by R M (θ) ={Φ 1 (re 2πiθ ),r >1}. Let c M be a parameter such that a strictly pre-periodic dynamical ray R c (θ) lands at c. Wewant to show that the parameter ray R M (θ) lands also at c. Set c(t) =Φ 1 (te 2πiθ )fort>1. In other words, we will prove that c(t) c as t 1. Denote by U = {z : φ c (z) >t}, U 1 = {z : φ c(t) (z) >t}, V = {z : φ c (z) >t 2 } and V 1 = {z : φ c(t) (z) >t 2 }. Then they are Jordan domains. Both Q c : U Vand Q c(t) : U 1 V 1 are proper. The critical value c(t) of Q c(t) lies on the boundary of U 1 and the post-critical set of Q c(t) is contained in the closure of U 1.Set ψ = φ 1 c(t) φ c.thenψ(u) =U 1 and ψ(v) =V 1. Moreover, the following diagram commutes: U Q c V ψ U 1 Q c(t) ψ V 1.
8 632 CUI GuiZhen et al. Sci China Math March 2010 Vol. 53 No. 3 Figure 1 Perturbation F of Q c Step 1. Construction of a topological perturbation F of Q c. Denote by z(t) =φ 1 c (te 2πiθ ). Then z(t) =ψ 1 (c(t)) U. Letγ t = φ 1 c ({re 2πiθ, 1 r t}). It is a closed arc connecting the point c with the point z(t), whose interior is contained in R c (θ) (C \U). Let W be a Jordan domain in C \V such that γ t W. Choose ζ : C C a homeomorphism that is the identity outside W,withζ(c) =z(t). Set F := ζ Q c. Then the critical points of F are {0, } with F (0) = z(t). Therefore F n (z(t)) = Q n c (z(t)) as n. So P F = {z(t),f(z(t)),...} { } and P F = P F = { }. AsF is holomorphic in a neighborhood of the infinity which is a super-attracting fixed point of F, we conclude that F is a sub-hyperbolic semi-rational map. Lemma 4.1. Thesub-hyperbolicsemi-rationalmapF is c-equivalent to Q c(t). Proof. Let ψ 0 be a homeomorphism of C such that ψ 0 U = ψ U. Then ψ 0 (P F )=P Qc(t) and the following diagram commutes: ψ 0 U U1 F Q c(t) V ψ 0 V1. The homeomorphism ψ 0 : C \V C \V 1 maps the critical value z(t) off to the critical value c(t) of Q c(t). Thus there is a unique lift ψ 1 : C \U C \U 1 of ψ 0, such that ψ 1 U = ψ U. Obviously, as a lift of ψ 0,themapψ 1 satisfies that ψ 1 (0) = 0, and the following diagram commutes: C \U F C \V ψ 1 C \U1 Q c(t) ψ 0 C \V1. Now extend the map ψ 1 to a homeomorphism of C by ψ 1 U = ψ U. Then ψ 0 F = Q c(t) ψ 1. Since ψ 0 U = ψ 1 U = ψ U and P F U, by Alexander trick, any homeomorphism of a topological disc which is the identity on the boundary is isotopic to the identity rel the boundary. We know that ψ 1 and ψ 0 are isotopic rel P F. This proves that F and Q c(t) are c-equivalent. Step 2. Application of the Thurston algorithm to F. Let η 0 be a Möbius transformation of C such that it is normalized by mapping the triple (0,F 2 (z(t)), ) to the triple (0,Q 2 c(t) (c(t)), ). As in Section 3, there is a unique homeomorphism η 1 of C with the same normalization, such that f 1 := η 0 F η1 1 is holomorphic on the Riemann sphere C. SinceF is holomorphic except on F 1 (W )=Q 1 c (W ), we see that η 1 is holomorphic except on F 1 (W ).
9 CUI GuiZhen et al. Sci China Math March 2010 Vol. 53 No Recursively, there is a unique homeomorphism η n of C with the same normalization, such that f n := η n 1 F ηn 1 is holomorphic on C. Moreoverη n is holomorphic except on n k=1 F k (W ). Noticing that F = Q c except on F 1 (W )=Q 1 c (W ), we have n F k (W )= k=1 n k=1 Q k c (W ). By Theorem 3.2 and Lemma 4.1, we see that the sequence {f n } converges uniformly to the quadratic polynomial Q c(t) and the sequence {η n } uniformly converges to a continuous map η of C. Notethatη n is holomorphic in V and is normalized by mapping the triple (0,F 2 (z(t)), ) to the triple (0,Q 2 c(t) (c(t)), ) for all n 0. Thus η is univalent on V and mapping the pair (F 2 (z(t)), ) to the pair (Q 2 c(t) (c(t)), ) (note that F 2 (z(t)) = Q 2 c (z(t)) V). In particular, η 1 Q c(t) η = F = Q c on V. Therefore η V = ψ V. This is because that the holomorphic conjugation between two super-attracting fixed points of degree two is unique. ProofofTheorem1.2. The critical point zero is pre-periodic for Q c.setx 0 to be the unique periodic cycle in P Qc. We define X k and X as in Section 1. Note that E := {z : z > 8} { }is compactly contained in V for t (1, 2). For each y X 0 we choose a simply connected neighborhood U y such that U y E = and U y \{y} is disjoint from P Qc. Define U x and U x (r) for any point x X and any constant r<1asinsection 1. In particular, as c X k for some k 1, U c is a neighborhood of c which is a component of Q k c (U y )fory = Q k (c). Recall that γ t = φ 1 c ({re 2πiθ, 1 r t}). Obviously the diameter diamγ t 0ast 1. Thus there are a constant t 0 (1, 2) and a positive function r(t) on(1,t 0 )withr(t) 0ast 1 such that γ t U c (r(t)) for t (1,t 0 ). Recall that the homeomorphism η n defined in Step 2 is holomorphic on the complement of the closure of n k=1 Q k c (W ). For t (1,t 0 ), since γ t U c (r(t)), we may require that the Jordan domain W chosen in Step 1 satisfies that W U c (r(t)). Then the homeomorphism η n is holomorphic on the complement of the closure of n k=1 Q k c (U c (r(t))). Now applying Theorem 1.1 to the pair (Q c, {U x } x X )andthemapη n,wehaveaconstantr 0 > 0and a positive function C(r) defined on r (0,r 0 )withc(r) 0(asr 0) such that for any t>1with r(t) <r 0 and any integer n 1, D(η n,e) C(r(t)). Since r(t) 0ast 1, there exists a constant t 0 > 1 such that r(t) <r 0 for t (1,t 0 ). So we have D(η n,e) C(r(t)) for t (1,t 0 ) and any integer n 1. In particular D(η, E) C(r(t)) for t (1,t 0 ) by Lemma 2.1(d). Recall that η = ψ = φ c(t) φ 1 c on V, therefore on E. By Lemma 2.6, there is a universal constant C 0 > 0 such that c c(t) C 0 D(η, E) C0 C(r(t)). Therefore c c(t) 0ast 1sinceC(r) 0asr 0andr(t) 0ast 1. Now the theorem is proved.
