AbstractIn the space of degreedpolynomials, the hypersurfaces defined by the existence of a cycle of periodnand multipliereiθare known to be contained in the bifurcation locus. We prove that these hypersurfaces equidistribute the bifurcation current. This is a new result, even for the space of quadratic polynomials.
Abstract
We use a commutative generalization of complex numbers called bicomplex numbers to introduce the bicomplex dynamics of polynomials of type 𝐸𝑑, 𝑓𝑐(𝑤) = 𝑤(𝑤 + 𝑐)𝑑. Rochon [Fractals 8: 355–368, 2000] proved that the Mandelbrot set of quadratic polynomials in bicomplex numbers of the form 𝑤2 + 𝑐 is connected. We prove that our generalized Mandelbrot set of polynomials of type 𝐸𝑑, 𝑓𝑐(𝑤) = 𝑤(𝑤 + 𝑐)𝑑, is connected.
