We investigate some connectedness properties of the set of points K(f) where
the iterates of an entire function f are bounded. In particular, we describe a
class of transcendental entire functions for which an analogue of the
Branner-Hubbard conjecture holds and show that, for such functions, if K(f) is
disconnected then it has uncountably many components. We give examples to show
that K(f) can be totally disconnected, and we use quasiconformal surgery to
construct a function for which K(f) has a component with empty interior that is
not a singleton.Comment: 21 page
