Density of periodic sources in the boundary of a basin of attraction for iteration of holomorphic maps, geometric coding trees technique

We prove that if A is the basin of immediate attraction to a periodic attracting or parabolic point for a rational map f on the Riemann sphere, then periodic points in the boundary of A are dense in this boundary. To prove this in the non simply- connected or parabolic situations we prove a more abstract, geometric coding trees version

Dimension properties of the boundaries of exponential basins

We prove that the boundary of a component $U$ of the basin of an attracting periodic cycle (of period greater than 1) for an exponential map on the complex plane has Hausdorff dimension greater than 1 and less than 2. Moreover, the set of points in the boundary of $U$ which do not escape to infinity has Hausdorff dimension (in fact: hyperbolic dimension) greater than 1, while the set of points in the boundary of $U$ which escape to infinity has Hausdorff dimension 1.Comment: 13 pages, 1 figur
