Abstract

It is known that the disconnected Julia set of any polynomial map does not contain buried Julia components. But such Julia components may arise for rational maps. The first example is due to Curtis T. McMullen who provided a family of rational maps for which the Julia sets are Cantor of Jordan curves. However, all known examples of buried Julia components, up to now, are points or Jordan curves and comes from rational maps of degree at least five. This paper introduces a family of hyperbolic rational maps with disconnected Julia set whose exchanging dynamics of postcritically separating Julia components is encoded by a weighted dynamical tree. Each of these Julia sets presents buried Julia components of several types: points, Jordan curves, but also Julia components which are neither points nor Jordan curves. Moreover, this family contains some rational maps of degree three with explicit formula that answers a question McMullen raised.
