Basilica JUlia set and external rays

Lamination of Basilica Julia set

NucleusMachine(BasilicaGroup)

Basilica group is :

• group defined by automatum
• the iterated monodromy group of the polynomial $z^{2}-1$
• related with Basilica Julia set : "the scaling limit of the Schreier graphs of its action on level n of T is the basilica"

Computation

The critical points of the polynomial $z^{2}-1$ are $\infty$ and $0$ .

The postcritical set is $P=\left\{0,-1,\infty \right\}$

FR

predefined by FR package of GAP CAS. Here BinaryKneadingGroup("1") is BasilicaGroup.

gap> BinaryKneadingGroup(1/3)=BasilicaGroup;
true

or :

gap> B := FRGroup("a=<1,b>(1,2)","b=<1,a>",IsFRMealyElement);
<state-closed group over [ 1, 2 ] with 2 generators>
gap> AssignGeneratorVariables(B);
#I  Assigned the global variables [ "a", "b" ]
