Periodic boundary points for simply connected Fatou components of transcendental maps

Abstract

Let f be a transcendental map, and let U be an attracting or parabolic basin, or a doubly parabolic Baker domain. Assume U is simply connected. Then, we prove that periodic points are dense in the boundary of U, under certain hypothesis on the postsingular set. This generalizes a result by F. Przytycki and A. Zdunik for rational maps. Our proof uses techniques from measure theory, ergodic theory, conformal analysis, and inner functions. In particular, a result on the distortion of inner functions near the unit circle is provided, which is of independent interest.
