A separation theorem for entire transcendental maps

We study the distribution of periodic points for a wide class of maps, namely entire transcendental functions of finite order and with bounded set of singular values, or compositions thereof. Fix $p\in\N$ and assume that all dynamic rays which are invariant under $f^p$ land. An interior $p$-periodic point is a fixed point of $f^p$ which is not the landing point of any periodic ray invariant under $f^p$. Points belonging to attracting, Siegel or Cremer cycles are examples of interior periodic points. For functions as above we show that rays which are invariant under $f^p$, together with their landing points, separate the plane into finitely many regions, each containing exactly one interior $p-$periodic point or one parabolic immediate basin invariant under $f^p$. This result generalizes the Goldberg-Milnor Separation Theorem for polynomials, and has several corollaries. It follows, for example, that two periodic Fatou components can always be separated by a pair of periodic rays landing together; that there cannot be Cremer points on the boundary of Siegel discs; that "hidden components" of a bounded Siegel disc have to be either wandering domains or preperiodic to the Siegel disc itself; or that there are only finitely many non-repelling cycles of any given period, regardless of the number of singular values

Dynamics of transcendental H\'enon maps-II

Transcendental H\'enon maps are the natural extensions of the well investigated complex polynomial H\'enon maps to the much larger class of holomorphic automorphisms. We prove here that transcendental H\'enon maps always have non-trivial dynamical behavior, namely that they always admit both periodic and escaping orbits, and that their Julia sets are non-empty and perfect

Singular values and non-repelling cycles for entire transcendental maps

Let $f$ be a map with bounded set of singular values for which periodic dynamic rays exist and land. We prove that each non-repelling cycle is associated to a singular orbit which cannot accumulate on any other non-repelling cycle. When $f$ has finitely many singular values this implies a refinement of the Fatou-Shishikura inequality
