Zusammenfassung: | We study the distribution of periodic points for a wide class of maps, namely entire transcendental functions of finite order and with bounded set of singular values, or compositions thereof. Fix p∈N and assume that all dynamic rays which are invariant under fp land. An interior p‐periodic point is a fixed point of fp which is not the landing point of any periodic ray invariant under fp. Points belonging to attracting, Siegel or Cremer cycles are examples of interior periodic points. For functions as above, we show that rays which are invariant under fp, together with their landing points, separate the plane into finitely many regions, each containing exactly one interior p‐periodic point or one parabolic immediate basin invariant under fp. This result generalizes the Goldberg–Milnor Separation Theorem for polynomials, and has several corollaries. It follows, for example, that two periodic Fatou components can always be separated by a pair of periodic rays landing together; that there cannot be Cremer points on the boundary of Siegel disks; that ‘hidden components’ of a bounded Siegel disk have to be either wandering domains or preperiodic to the Siegel disk itself; or that there are only finitely many non‐repelling cycles of any given period, regardless of the number of singular values. |
