Boundaries of capture hyperbolic components

In complex dynamics, the boundaries of higher dimensional hyperbolic components in holomorphic families of polynomials or rational maps are mysterious objects, whose topological and analytic properties are fundamental problems. In this paper, we show that in some typical families of polynomials (i.e. algebraic varieties defined by periodic critical relations), the boundary of a capture hyperbolic component $\mathcal H$ is homeomorphic to the sphere $S^{2\dim_\mathbb{C}(\mathcal{H})-1}$. Furthermore, we establish an unexpected identity for the Hausdorff dimension of $\partial \mathcal H$: $\operatorname{H{.}dim}(\partial\mathcal{H}) = 2 \dim_\mathbb{C}(\mathcal{H})-2+\max_{f\in\partial\mathcal{H}} \operatorname{H{.}dim}(\partial A^J(f)),$ where $A^J(f)$ is the union of the bounded attracting Fatou components of $f$ associated with the free critical points in the Julia set $J(f)$. In the proof, some new results with independent interests are discovered.
