An explicit bound for uniform perfectness of the Julia sets of rational maps

Abstract

A compact set $ C $ in the Riemann sphere is called uniformly perfect if the moduli of annuli separating $ C $ are bounded. Ma\~n\'e-da Rocha and Hinkkanen showed independently the uniform perfectness of the Julia sets of rational maps of degree $ \ge 2, $ but they presented no explicit bounds for uniform perfectness. In this note, we shall provide such an explicit bound and, as a result, we give another proof of uniform perfectness of the Julia sets. As an application, we refer to a lower estimate of the Hausdorff dimension of the Julia sets.
