(Paperback)

Addressing researchers and graduate students in the meeting ground of analysis, geometry, and dynamics, this book presents a study of renormalization of quadratic polynomials and an introduction to techniques in complex dynamics. Its central concern is the structure of an infinitely renormalizable quadratic polynomial f(z) = z2 + c.

Gives a unified treatment of the construction of fixed-points for renormalization and the construction of hyperbolic 3- manifolds fibering over the circle. This approach shows open hyperbolic manifolds are inflexible, and yields quantitative counterparts to Mostow rigidity.
