Is the area of the Mandelbrot set known? [duplicate]
The Mandelbrot set has an area; is it known exactly? If so, how, and what is the value? If not, why is this a hard question to answer?

Is the Mandelbrot set Suslinian?
The Mandelbrot set is known to be (path-)connected and compact. A non-degenerate space with these properties is called a continuum.
A continuum $X$ is Suslinian if every collection of non-degenerate ...

Discriminants of Gleason's period-$n$ polynomials for the Mandelbrot set
Gleason's polynomials are the sequence of monic integer polynomials defined recursively by
$$
\prod_{d \mid n} G_d(c) = (((c^2+c)^2+c)^2+\cdots+c)^2+c \quad \quad \quad [\textrm{$n$ iterates}],
$$

Does the Mandelbrot set have dense interior?
Let $M$ be the Mandelbrot set.
Question: Is the interior of $M$ dense in $M$?
My intuition is that this is true, and moreover that hyperbolic components of the interior are dense in $M$ as well, and ...

What is the logical complexity of the Mandelbrot Local Connectivity conjecture? (Is it equivalent to a statement of arithmetic?)
Denote by MLC the statement “the Mandelbrot set is locally connected” and MHC the statement “hyperbolic components are dense in the Mandelbrot set” (it is known that MLC implies MHC, and whether ...

Is there an equivalent to the logistic map for a nonlinear path through some of the other nodules of the Mandelbrot set?
The logistic map can be related to the real axis of the Mandelbrot set, looking at the different cycle lengths as you pass through all the various nodules along the real axis. But there are other ...
