A structure theorem for semi-parabolic Henon maps
preprint-abstract: 
Abstract:
Consider the parameter space $\mathcal{P}_{\lambda}\subset \mathbb{C}^{2}$ of complex Hénon maps \[ H_{c,a}(x,y)=(x^{2}+c+ay, ax),\ a\neq 0 \] which have a semi-parabolic fixed point with one eigenvalue $\lambda=e^{2\pi i p/q}$. We give a characterization of those Hénon maps from the curve $\mathcal{P}_{\lambda}$ that are small perturbations of a quadratic polynomial $p$ with a parabolic fixed point of multiplier $\lambda$. We prove that there is an open disk of parameters in $\mathcal{P}_{\lambda}$ for which the semi-parabolic Hénon map has connected Julia set $J$ and is structurally stable on $J$ and $J^{+}$. The Julia set $J^{+}$ has a nice local description: inside a bidisk $\mathbb{D}_{r}\times \mathbb{D}_{r}$ it is a trivial fiber bundle over $J_{p}$, the Julia set of the polynomial $p$, with fibers biholomorphic to $\mathbb{D}_{r}$. The Julia set $J$ is homeomorphic to a quotiented solenoid.
