Abstract:

We consider the quadratic family of complex maps given by qc(z)=z2 +c where c is the center of a hyperbolic component in the Mandelbrot set. Then, we introduce a singular perturbation on the corresponding superattracting cycle by adding one pole to each point in the cycle. We focus on the topological characteristics of the Julia and Fatou sets of f&lambda that arise when the parameter &lambda becomes nonzero. In particular, provided the orders of the poles satisfy a certain arithmetic condition and &lambda is chosen sufficiently small, the Julia set consists of a homeomorphic copy of the unperturbed Julia set, countably many Cantor sets of concentric closed curves, and Cantor sets of point components that accumulate on the Cantor sets of curves.
