Abstract

Let f be a real rational function with all critical points on the extended real axis and of even order. Then:

(1) f carries no invariant line field on the Julia set unless it is doubly covered by an integral torus endomorphism (a Lattés example); and

(2) f|J(f) has only finitely many ergodic components.
