Two counterexamples in rational and interval dynamics

In rational dynamics, we prove the existence of a polynomial that satisfies the Topological Collet-Eckmann condition, but which has a recurrent critical orbit that is not Collet-Eckmann. This shows that the converse of the main theorem in [12] does not hold. In interval dynamics, we show that the Collet-Eckmann property for recurrent critical orbits is not a topological invariant for real polynomials with negative Schwarzian derivative. This contradicts a conjecture of Swiatek
