Abstract

 

About twenty years ago, by introducing the method of quasi-conformal surgery, Shishikura showed how one can construct rational functions with Herman rings. His main idea is to cut and paste two Siegel disks to produce one Herman ring. In this talk, we shall explain his construction carefully.
