Cantor Bouquets in Spiders' Webs

Abstract: For many transcendental entire functions, the escaping set has the structure of a Cantor bouquet, consisting of uncountably many disjoint curves. Rippon and Stallard showed that there are many functions for which the escaping set has a new connected structure known as an infinite spider's web. We investigate a connection between these two topological structures for a certain class of sums of exponentials.
