Abstract

We study Schmidt's game on the Julia set J(f)J(f) of weak hyperbolic rational maps f:CCtoCC. For each y∈J(f)y\in J(f), let E(f,y)E(f,y) be the set of points in J(f)J(f) whose forward orbits stay a positive distance from yy. We prove that E(f,y)E(f,y) is absolute winning on J(f)J(f) for each y∈J(f)y \in J(f). To do this, we first prove the absolute winning property for the exceptional set associated to the critical points by a potential game argument, and then use uniform expansion to obtain the result for each target point yy.

Audit summary

Audited against arXiv v1

Not a correctness certificate. A green “no issues found” result may include yellow suspected typos or minor formal issues that do not affect substantive soundness. It means this audit found no unresolved substantive error under the stated criteria; it does not replace expert scrutiny or formal verification.

01Statements2 reported findingsNo statement issues found

The absolute-winning theorem for orbit-avoidance sets of expanding-away-from-critical-points, backward-contracting rational maps and its stated consequences are supported.

Theorem ANo issue found

Every one-point exceptional set is absolute winning

PDF pp. 3–4 and 8–22 · arXiv:2610.27796v1

Backward contraction and nice couples give a potential-game strategy that avoids the critical set at all sufficiently small scales. Expansion away from critical points then supplies uniformly controlled inverse branches, allowing the strategy to be transferred from the critical exceptional set to E(f,y)E(f,y) for every y∈J(f)y\in J(f).

Corollaries 1.4 and 1.5No issue found

The strong-winning and nondense-orbit conclusions follow

PDF p. 4 · arXiv:2610.27796v1

Uniform perfectness converts absolute winning to strong winning with a constant depending only on the Julia set. Countable intersections preserve absolute winning, and the nondense-orbit set contains any fixed one-point exceptional set.

02Proofs2 reported findingsNo proof issues found

The potential-game construction, backward-contraction estimates, nice-couple geometry, and expansion transfer cover the stated hypotheses and parameter ranges.

Theorem BNo issue found in the reviewed proof

Uniform expansion transfers avoidance from critical points to an arbitrary target

PDF pp. 8–12 · Section 3 · arXiv:2610.27796v1

Once an orbit remains uniformly separated from the critical set, inverse branches have controlled distortion and shrink at a uniform exponential rate. The game deletions are scheduled at the corresponding scales, and the resulting limit point stays a positive distance from the target.

Theorem ANo issue found in the reviewed proof

The critical exceptional set is won by a summable potential strategy

PDF pp. 12–22 · Section 4 · arXiv:2610.27796v1

Polynomial shrinking bounds the relevant pull-backs, bounded overlap controls the total potential deleted at each turn, and the nested nice couples separate returns to critical neighborhoods. The chosen exponents make the potential sum converge, yielding potential winning and hence absolute winning.

Recommended production method

Authenticate with ORCID, then require an exact arXiv match

MathAudit should accept the identity only when ORCID OAuth authenticates the claimant's iD and this exact arXiv paper appears in arXiv's public authority feed for that iD. A matching name alone is not sufficient.

ORCID OAuth and arXiv authority-record lookup are not connected in this local prototype.

Email fallback for papers without a linked ORCID

A production fallback could send a one-time link only when the submitted address matches an independently maintained author-contact allowlist for this paper. MathAudit must return the same message for every address so the form cannot reveal which contacts are on that list.

This demonstration does not send, store, or compare the address.

Structured response preview

This form remains unavailable until production identity verification succeeds. Nothing entered here is submitted.

This panel never establishes authorship in the local prototype. A production result should be described narrowly as an authenticated ORCID match or control of a separately allowlisted author-contact mailbox.
