Abstract

The theory of Hubbard trees provides an effective classification of nonlinear postcritically finite polynomial maps in ℂ. This note extends the classification to maps from a finite union of copies of ℂ to itself. Holomorphic proper maps on a finite union of copies of ℂ which are postcritically finite and nowhere linear can be characterized by a ‘forest’ made up of one tree for each copy of the set of complex numbers.
