Abstract

Let {RA} be an analytic family of rational maps and denote by j(λ) the Julia set of Rλ. We prove that the upper semicontinuous regularization j(λ) of j(λ) (which coincides with j(λ) for all λ in a dense open set) is a meromorphic multifunction, and give applications that illustrate the instability of Julia sets. In a similar vein, we also consider forward orbits of critical points and limit sets of Kleinian groups.
