A classification of bicritical rational maps with a pair of period two superattracting cycles
Annales de la Faculté des sciences de Toulouse : Mathématiques, Serie 6, Volume 21 (2012) no. S5, pp. 907-934.

We give a Thurston classification of those bicritical rational maps which have two period two superattracting cycles. We also show that all such maps are constructed by the mating of two unicritical degree d polynomials.

Nous donnons une classification de Thurston des fractions rationnelles bicritiques possédant deux cycles superattractifs de période deux. Nous montrons également que toutes les fractions rationnelles de ce type sont construites par accouplement de deux polynômes unicritiques de degré d.
