Transcendental correspondences: when Fuchsian groups take over basins of entire maps

Abstract

In this paper, we initiate a systematic study of $(\infty : \infty)$ holomorphic correspondences that naturally arise as conformal combinations (matings) of transcendental entire maps with Fuchsian groups. This construction parallels the recent theory of finite-degree algebraic correspondences associated with rational maps. Our correspondence combines the dynamics of a transcendental entire function outside a distinguished attracting/parabolic basin with the action of a compatible Fuchsian group within it. We show that the resulting correspondence is the composition of a Möbius involution and the deleted covering correspondence of a meromorphic function having exactly one simple pole. When the transcendental entire function has finitely many singular values, so does this meromorphic function, and its line complex can be described explicitly.
