Sullivan's theorem on the absence of wandering components of a Fatou set is a theorem of holomorphic dynamics proved by D. Sullivan in 1985, which states that every connected component of a Fatou set is pre-periodic.
Wording
Theorem. Let be - rational mapping of the Riemann sphere to itself and U is the connected component of the Fatou set . Then U is preperiodic, i.e., there are for which .
