Escape combinatorics for polynomial dynamics
Abstract: In this talk, I will introduce a combinatorial method for studying the dynamics of complex polynomials. It can be used to distinguish topological conjugacy classes of polynomials, to study global structure of the moduli space of polynomials, or to (re-)prove that the Mandelbrot set is connected. This is joint work with Kevin Pilgrim.
