On Nearly Euclidean Thurston Maps
Nearly Euclidean Thurston maps are simple generalizations of rational Lattes maps. A Thurston map is called nearly Euclidean if its local degree at each critical point is 2 and it has exactly four postcritical points. We investigate when such a map has the property that the associated pullback map …

Nearly Euclidean Thurston Maps and the Halfspace Theorem
A Thurston map whose postcritical set consists of exactly four points and for which the local degree at each of its critical points is 2 is called textit{nearly Euclidean}. These maps were specified to parse Thurston's combinatorial characterization of rational functions. We determine an extension …
