Interpolation of Power Mappings

Abstract

Let $(M_j)_{j=1}^\infty\in\mathbb{N}$ and $(r_j)_{j=1}^\infty\in\mathbb{R}^+$ be increasing sequences satisfying some mild rate of growth conditions. We prove that there is an entire function $f: \mathbb{C} \rightarrow\mathbb{C}$ whose behavior in the large annuli $\{ z\in\mathbb{C} : r_{j}\cdot\exp(\pi/M_{j})\leq|z|\leq r_{j+1}\}$ is given by a perturbed rescaling of $z\mapsto z^{M_j}$, such that the only singular values of $f$ are rescalings of $\pm r_j^{M_j}$. We describe several applications to the dynamics of entire functions.
