Abstract

We show that, for the family of functions $ F_\lambda(z) = z^n + {\lambda\over z^n} $ where $n \geq 3$ and $\lambda \in {\mathbb C}$, there is a unique McMullen domain in parameter space. A McMullen domain is a region where the Julia set of $F_\lambda$ is homeomorphic to a Cantor set of circles. We also prove that this McMullen domain is a simply connected region in the plane that is bounded by a simple closed curve.
