Abstract:

A transcendental entire function is called criniferous if every point in its escaping set can eventually be connected to infinity by a curve of escaping points. Many transcendental entire functions with bounded singular set have this property, and this class has recently attracted much attention in complex dynamics. In the presence of escaping critical values, these curves break or split at critical points. In this paper, we develop combinatorial tools that allow us to provide a complete description of the escaping set of any criniferous function without asymptotic values on its Julia set. In particular, our description precisely reflects the splitting phenomenon. This combinatorial structure provides the foundation for further study of this class of functions. For example, we use these results in another paper to give the first full description of the topological dynamics of a class of transcendental entire maps with unbounded postsingular set.
