Abstract
We study hyperbolic components, also known as tongues, in the Double Standard Map family comprising circle maps of the form: We prove simple connectedness of tongues by providing a dynamically natural real-analytic uniformization for each tongue. For maps in a tongue, we characterize the unique maximal subset of the circle on which is Devaney chaotic. We also show that the Hausdorff dimension of this maximal chaotic set varies real-analytically inside a tongue.

The two advertised results are supported. Theorem A/3.5 gives the global multiplier–critical-angle uniformization of each tongue interior and analytic quasiconformal conjugacies. Corollary 1.1/Theorem 4.20 identifies the maximal chaotic set as a moving expanding Cantor repeller and proves that its Hausdorff dimension varies real analytically.
Dynamically natural uniformization of tongue interiors
Pages 4–6 · Theorem A and Corollary 1.1 · arXiv:2505.02189v2
The multiplier and critical-angle coordinates define a real-analytic diffeomorphism from the interior of each tongue in the complexified double-standard-map family onto the slit disk. This proves simple connectivity and gives quasiconformal conjugacies that depend real analytically on the parameter. The attracting cycle is unique in the tongue, and both off-circle critical points lie in the specified immediate basin component, so the critical angle is defined throughout the domain. Boundary values corresponding to the slit are excluded exactly as stated.
Real-analytic variation of chaotic-set dimension
Pages 3–4 and 24–25 · Corollary 1.1 / Theorem 4.20 · arXiv:2505.02189v2
Inside a tongue, the complement of the unique attracting basin is a compact expanding Cantor set and is the maximal invariant set on which the circle map is Devaney chaotic. The uniformization supplies a real-analytic motion and a fixed Markov coding. The pressure zero varies analytically because its derivative with respect to dimension is strictly negative, so Bowen's formula yields real-analytic Hausdorff dimension throughout the tongue.
Identification of the maximal chaotic set
Pages 18–23 · Propositions 4.2–4.15 · arXiv:2505.02189v2
Outside hyperbolic tongues the whole circle has the stated chaotic behavior; inside a tongue the basin complement is closed, forward invariant, topologically transitive, and contains dense periodic points. Expansion away from the attracting basin makes it a Cantor set of zero Lebesgue measure. Any orbit with chaotic recurrence must avoid the attracting basin, establishing maximality in the sense used by Corollary 1.1.

Multiplier/critical-angle coordinates and Bowen's formula. The multiplier and critical-angle map is locally real analytic because the attracting basin and its two off-circle critical points move holomorphically. Quasiconformal surgery realizes every target coordinate in the slit disk, normalized rigidity gives injectivity, and properness at the tongue boundary upgrades the local coordinate to a global diffeomorphism. The Beltrami coefficients are chosen equivariantly, so the resulting conjugacies respect the dynamics and depend analytically on the real parameters. These steps establish all parts of Theorem A, not only simple connectivity.

Multiplier–angle coordinates and quasiconformal surgery
Pages 8–18 · Sections 3.1–3.3 · arXiv:2505.02189v2
Linearization in the immediate attracting basin defines the critical angle independently of the chosen coordinate normalization. The surgery changes multiplier and angle while preserving the symmetry and degree of the double-standard family. Solving the invariant Beltrami equation returns a normalized map in that family. Rigidity shows equal coordinates give conformally conjugate normalized maps and hence equal parameters; degeneration analysis gives properness at every boundary approach.
Pressure zero and analytic implicit-function argument
Pages 18–25 · Section 4 · arXiv:2505.02189v2
A finite Markov partition codes by one subshift throughout a tongue. Transfer-operator perturbation gives real-analytic pressure , and expansion makes the negative integral of , hence nonzero. Bowen's formula identifies the unique root with Hausdorff dimension. The analytic implicit-function theorem therefore applies at every interior parameter, and overlapping local branches agree by uniqueness.
