Abstract (VO)
Résumé

W. Thurston constructed a combinatorial model of the Mandelbrot set $M_{2}$ such that there is a continuous and monotone projection of $M_{2}$ to this model. We propose the following related model for the space ${MD}_{3}$ of critically marked cubic polynomials with connected Julia set and all cycles repelling. If $(P, c_{1}, c_{2}) \in {MD}_{3}$ , then every point z in the Julia set of the polynomial P defines a unique maximal finite set $A_{z}$ of angles on the circle corresponding to the rays, whose impressions form a continuum containing z. Let $G (z)$ denote the convex hull of $A_{z}$ . The convex sets $G (z)$ partition the closed unit disk. For $(P, c_{1}, c_{2}) \in {MD}_{3}$ let $c_{1}^{⁎}$ be the co-critical point of $c_{1}$ . We tag the marked dendritic polynomial $(P, c_{1}, c_{2})$ with the set $G (c_{1}^{⁎}) \times G (P (c_{2})) \subset \overline{D} \times \overline{D}$ . Tags are pairwise disjoint; denote by ${MD}_{3}^{comb}$ their collection, equipped with the quotient topology. We show that tagging defines a continuous map from ${MD}_{3}$ to ${MD}_{3}^{comb}$ so that ${MD}_{3}^{comb}$ serves as a model for ${MD}_{3}$ .

W. Thurston a construit un modèle combinatoire de l'ensemble de Mandelbrot $M_{2}$ tel qu'il y ait une projection monotone et continue de $M_{2}$ sur ce modèle. En relation avec ceci, nous proposons le modèle lié suivant pour l'espace ${MD}_{3}$ des polynômes cubiques à points critiques marqués, avec ensemble de Julia connexe et tous les cycles répulsifs. Si $(P, c_{1}, c_{2}) \in {MD}_{3}$ , alors chaque point z dans l'ensemble de Julia du polynôme P définit un unique ensemble fini maximal $A_{z}$ d'angles sur le cercle correspondant aux rayons, dont les impressions forment un continuum contenant z. Soit $G (z)$ l'enveloppe convexe de $A_{z}$ . Les ensembles convexes $G (z)$ définissent une partition du disque unité fermé. Pour $(P, c_{1}, c_{2}) \in {MD}_{3}$ , soit $c_{1}^{⁎}$ le point co-critique de $c_{1}$ . Nous balisons le polynôme dendritique marqué $(P, c_{1}, c_{2})$ avec l'ensemble $G (c_{1}^{⁎}) \times G (P (c_{2})) \subset \overline{D} \times \overline{D}$ . Les balises sont deux à deux disjointes ; désignons par ${MD}_{3}^{comb}$ leur collection, équipée de la topologie quotient. Nous montrons que le balisage définit une application continue de ${MD}_{3}$ dans ${MD}_{3}^{comb}$ de sorte que ${MD}_{3}^{comb}$ est un modèle pour ${MD}_{3}$ .
