Abstract

We develop a theory of quasi post-critically finite degenerations of Blaschke products. This gives us tools to study the boundaries of hyperbolic components of rational maps in higher-dimensional moduli spaces. We use it to obtain a combinatorial classification of geometrically finite polynomials on the boundary of the main hyperbolic component , i.e., the hyperbolic component in the space of monic and centered polynomials that contains . We also show that the closure is not a topological manifold with boundary for by constructing self-bumps on its boundary.
