Abstract

Bounded irreducible local Siegel disks include classical Siegel disks of polynomials, bounded irreducible Siegel disks of rational and entire functions, and the examples of Herman and Moeckel. We show there are only two possibilities for the structure of the boundary of such a disk: either the boundary admits a nice decomposition onto a circle or it is an indecomposable continuum.
