DefinitionThe antiholomorphic quadratic map#✓fully proved

For \(c \in \mathbb{C}\), the map \(T_c : \mathbb{C} \to \mathbb{C}\) is \(T_c(z) = \bar z^2 + c\), where \(\bar z\) is the complex conjugate of \(z\).

DefinitionThe Mandelbar set (tricorn)#✓fully proved

The Mandelbar set is the set of \(c \in \mathbb{C}\) for which the orbit of \(0\) under the map \(T_c(z) = \bar z^2 + c\) is bounded: there is a real number \(M\) with \(|T_c^n(0)| \le M\) for all \(n \ge 0\), where \(T_c^n\) is the \(n\)-th iterate of \(T_c\) and \(T_c^0\) is the identity.

This set is the connectedness locus of the family \(z \mapsto \bar z^2 + c\).

TheoremThe Mandelbar set is not path-connected#●ready to prove

The Mandelbar set (tricorn), the set of \(c \in \mathbb{C}\) for which the orbit of \(0\) under \(z \mapsto \bar z^2 + c\) is bounded, is not path-connected.

This is the degree-2 case of the Hubbard–Schleicher theorem that multicorns are not path-connected.
