Conformal measures and limit sets

Lex G. Oversteegen


We will study rational maps of the complex sphere. We are interested in studying the limit behavior of iterations of almost'' every point of the sphere under iteration of an arbitrary rational map. For points in the Fatou set this follows from Sullivan's Classification Theorem of Fatou components. In this talk we will focus on the behavior of points in the Julia set J. In case the Lebesgue measure m of J is positive, we will relate the omega limit set of m-almost every point in J to the omega limit set of the recurrent critical points. Otherwise it is known that there exists a conformal measure \mu with support on J. We will generalize the classical Lebesgue Density Theorem to conformal measures and conformal balls of limited distortion and use this to relate the omega limit set of \mu-almost every point in J to the omega limit set of the critical points. These results are joint work with A. Blokh and J. Mayer.
