Abstract:
The Pruning Front Conjecture (PFC) states, roughly, that every Henon map can be described as a horseshoe from which some orbits have been destroyed or pruned away. I’ll explain pruning and the PFC and a program to prove it for infinitely renormalizable Henon maps. Coauthors: M. Lyubich and M. Martens
