Deformation of entire functions with Baker domains
We consider entire transcendental functions $f$ with an invariant
(or periodic) Baker domain $U$. First, we classify these domains
into three types (hyperbolic, simply parabolic and doubly
parabolic) according to the surface they induce when we take the
quotient by the dynamics. Second, we study the space of
quasiconformal deformations of an entire map with such a Baker
domain by studying its Teichmüller space. More precisely, we
show that the dimension of this set is infinite if the Baker
domain is hyperbolic or simply parabolic, and from this we deduce
that the quasiconformal deformation space of $f$ is infinite
dimensional. Finally, we prove that the function $f(z)=z+e^{-z}$,
which possesses infinitely many invariant Baker domains, is rigid,
i.e., any quasiconformal deformation of $f$ is affinely conjugate
to $f$.
