A GENERALIZED VERSION OF THE MCMULLEN DOMAIN.

We study the family of complex maps given by Fλ(z) = zn + λ/zn + c where n ≥ 3 is an integer, λ is an arbitrarily small complex parameter, and c is chosen to be the center of a hyperbolic component of the corresponding Multibrot set. We focus on the structure of the Julia set for a map of this form generalizing a result of McMullen. We prove that it consists of a countable collection of Cantor sets of closed curves and an uncountable number of point components. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
