    Abstract

    Thurston introduced $\si_d$-invariant laminations (where $\si_d(z)$ coincides
    with $z^d:\ucirc\to \ucirc$, $d\ge 2$). He defined \emph{wandering $k$-gons} as
    sets $\T\subset \ucirc$ such that $\si_d^n(\T)$ consists of $k\ge 3$ distinct
    points for all $n\ge 0$ and the convex hulls of all the sets $\si_d^n(\T)$ in
    the plane are pairwise disjoint. Thurston proved that $\si_2$ has no wandering
    $k$-gons and posed the problem of their existence for $\si_d$,\, $d\ge 3$. Call
    a lamination with wandering $k$-gons a \emph{WT-lamination}. Denote the set of
    cubic critical portraits by $\A_3$.

  2. An Extended Fatou-Shishikura inequality and wandering branch continua for polynomials.

    Abstract

    Let $P$ be a polynomial of degree $d$ with Julia set $J_P$. Let $\widetilde
    N$ be the number of non-repelling cycles of $P$. By the famous Fatou-Shishikura
    inequality $\widetilde N\le d-1$. The goal of the paper is to improve this
    bound. The new count includes \emph{wandering collections of non-precritical
    branch continua}, i.e., collections of continua or points $Q_i\subset J_P$
    \emph{all} of whose images are pairwise disjoint, contain no critical points,
    and contain the limit sets of $\eval(Q_i)\ge 3$ external rays.
