Abstract

We extend results of McMullen about the dynamics of entire functions for which the orbits of the critical values stay away from the Julia set. In particular we show that such functions are expanding on their Julia sets which have self-similarity properties. Under suitable further conditions the Julia sets have plane measure zero.
