On the accumulation sets of exponential rays

We show that there exist non-landing exponential rays with bounded accumulation sets. By introducing folding models of certain rays, we prove that each of the corresponding accumulation sets is an indecomposable continuum containing part of the ray, an indecomposable continuum disjoint from the ray or a Jordan arc.

Meromorphic functions with shared limit values of positive linear measure

We prove that if two transcendental meromorphic functions share all limit values from a set of positive linear measure on a rectifiable Jordan arc, then they share all limit values.

Arcs with increasing chords

Let f:[0, 1]→R2 be a Jordan arc, and for t, u ∈ [0, 1] let d(t, u) = d(f(t), f(u)) denote the Euclidean length of the chord between f(t) and f(u), and l(t, u) = l(f(t), f(u)) the corresponding arc-length, when this is defined. We say that f has the increasing chord property if d(t2, t3) ≤ d(t1, t4) whenever 0 ≤ t1 ≤ t2 ≤ t3 ≤ t4 ≤ 1. In connexion with a problem in complex analysis, K. Binmore has asked (private communication, see (1)) whether there exists an absolute constant K such that.

Intersections of Arc-Cluster Sets for Meromorphic Functions

Let D and C denote the open unit disk and the unit circle in the complex plane, respectively; and let f be a function from D into the Riemann sphere Ω. An arc γ⊂D is said to be an arc at p∈C if γ∪{p} is a Jordan arc; and, for each t (0<t<1), the component of γ∩{z: t≤|z|<1} which has p as a limit point is said to be a terminal subarc of γ. If γ is an arc at p, the arc-cluster set C(f, p,γ) is the set of all points a∈Ω for which there exists a sequence {zk}a⊂γ with zk→p and f(zk)→a.
