Abstract

In order to describe the dynamics of the complex Hénon map , where has an attractive fixed point, we build a global topological model . In this model is the complement in of a cone over a solenoid lying in the unit 3-sphere, and is a map given in spherical coordinates by , where is a solenoidal map of degree two. Then we prove the existence of a constant such that any Hénon map with is conjugate to our model .
