Abstract

It is known that the Julia set of a quadratic rational map is either connected or a Cantor set. In this paper, we explore this dichotomy for the maps in a type of three-dimensional space of cubic rational maps. We show that for a cubic rational map f, if f has an attracting fixed point p and all critical points are attracted to p under the iteration of f, then the Julia set J(f) is either a Cantor set or a connected set (and locally connected) with one possible exception; we also give a necessary and sufficient condition for J(f) to be a Sierpinski curve when it is connected.
