COMBINATORIAL STRUCTURE OF THE PARAMETER PLANE OF THE FAMILY λ tan z2

Abstract

In this article we will discuss combinatorial structure of the parameter plane of the family $ \mathcal F = \{ \lambda \tan z^2: \lambda \in \mathbb C^*, \ z \in \mathbb C\}.$ The parameter space contains components where the dynamics are conjugate on their Julia sets. The complement of these components is the bifurcation locus. These are the hyperbolic components where the post-singular set is disjoint from the Julia set. We prove that all hyperbolic components are bounded except the four components of period one and they are all simply connected.
