Abstract:
In this talk we describe some of the different types of structures found in the parameter planes for families of rational maps of the form zn + C/zd. These structures include fractal snowflakes and Cantor necklaces, rings around the McMullen domain, Cantor sets of circles of Sierpinski curve Julia sets, and ”external” baby Mandelbrot sets.
