Abstract

We investigate the dynamics of polynomial semigroups (semigroups generated by a family of polynomial maps on the Riemann sphere ) and the random dynamics of polynomials on the Riemann sphere. Combining the dynamics of semigroups and the fiberwise (random) dynamics, we give a classification of polynomial semigroups G such that G is generated by a compact family Γ, the planar postcritical set of G is bounded, and G is (semi-) hyperbolic. In one of the classes, we have that, for almost every sequence , the Julia set Jγ of γ is a Jordan curve but not a quasicircle, the unbounded component of is a John domain, and the bounded component of is not a John domain. Note that this phenomenon does not hold in the usual iteration of a single polynomial. Moreover, we consider the dynamics of polynomial semigroups G such that the planar postcritical set of G is bounded and the Julia set is disconnected. Those phenomena of polynomial semigroups and random dynamics of polynomials that do not occur in the usual dynamics of polynomials are systematically investigated.
