Green's function and anti-holomorphic dynamics on a torus

Abstract

We give a new, simple proof of the fact recently discovered by C.-S. Lin and C.-L. Wang that the Green function of a torus has either three or five critical points, depending on the modulus of the torus. The proof uses anti-holomorphic dynamics. As a byproduct we find a one-parametric family of anti-holomorphic dynamical systems for which the parameter space consists only of hyperbolic components and analytic curves separating them.
