Let H be the central hyperbolic component of cubic polynomials (i.e. the one containing z 7→ z3). Works of Milnor show that H enjoys a kind of universality property. We construct an analytic coordinate on H recording the dynamical invariants. We use quadratic dynamics as parameter models. This coordinate has good extension properties to at least a large part of the boundary of H. We illustrate this by proving some of these extension properties. This paper concerns parameter spaces of rational maps viewed as dynamical systems through iteration. The parameter space of a family of rational maps has often a natural decomposition into the hyperbolic locus and the non-hyperbolic locus: a rational map is hyperbolic if and only if all its critical points are attracted to attracting periodic orbits. The hyperbolic locus is open (and conjecturally dense, in any reasonable family). A hyperbolic component is a connected component of the hyperbolic locus. Maps within the same hyperbolic component have essentially the same macroscopic dynamics. However, this quantitative change of dynamics becomes qualitative and often drastic when one moves to the boundary of the hyperbolic component. Therefore a major research interest in this field is to understand the boundary structure of a hyperbolic component, including its topology, geometry and the bifurcations of the dynamics that occurs. Given such a component H , in order to study its boundary, the first step is actually to study in detail the inner structure of H , to put our hand on an effective measuring of the (infinitessimal) changes of the dynamics within H . One way to address this problem is to find some suitable model space X together with a map Φ : H → X , satisfying simultaneously the following properties: 1. (coordinate) Φ is injective in H and Φ(f) depends analytically on f ; 2. (dynamics) Φ(f) records a complete set of dynamical invariants of f . In other words from these invariants (together with some combinatorial data) one can reconstruct f up to conformal conjugacy. Once we have such a coordinate, we may use Φ(H) to represent H and use ∂Φ(H) to study ∂H . This will depend on boundary extension properties of Φ. Thus the next step will be to study how well Φ or Φ−1 extends to the boundary and to which extent it still reflects the dynamical invariants. ∗AMS 2000 Mathematics Subject Classifications: 37F10, 37F20, 37F45, 32H02.
