The case n > 2 is great because: There exists a McMullen domain around = 0 .... Parameter plane for n=3
The case n > 2 is great because: There exists a McMullen domain around = 0 .... ... surrounded by infinitely many “Mandelpinski” necklaces...

Some definitions: Julia set of J = boundary of {orbits that escape to } = closure {repelling periodic orbits} = {chaotic set} Fatou set = complement of J = predictable set
Computation of J: Color points that escape to infinity shades of red orange yellow green blue violet Black points do not escape. J = boundary of the black region.

The Escape Trichotomy (with D. Look & D Uminsky) There are three possible ways that the critical orbits can escape to infinity, and each yields a different type of Julia set.
The Escape Trichotomy (with D. Look & D Uminsky) B is a Cantor set
The Escape Trichotomy (with D. Look & D Uminsky) B is a Cantor set T is a Cantor set of simple closed curves (n > 2) (McMullen)

T Case 2: is a Cantor set of simple closed curves The central disk is the McMullen domain

Case 3: T is a Sierpinski curve parameter plane when n = 3
Case 3: T is a Sierpinski curve A Sierpinski curve is a planar set homeomorphic to the Sierpinski carpet fractal parameter plane when n = 3
Sierpinski curves are important for two reasons: There is a “topological characterization” of the carpet 2. A Sierpinski curve is a “universal plane continuum”
Topological Characterization Any planar set that is: 1. compact 2. connected 3. locally connected 4. nowhere dense 5. any two complementary domains are bounded by simple closed curves that are pairwise disjoint is a Sierpinski curve. The Sierpinski Carpet
Universal Plane Continuum Any planar, one-dimensional, compact, connected set can be homeomorphically embedded in a Sierpinski curve. For example....
This set can be embedded inside
