Abstract: I will present my joint work with Sonja Štimac in which we classify Hénon maps within Benedicks-Carleson parameter set. Besides the paper of Benedicks and Carleson [BC], our work relies on two components. The first is the notion of mild dissipation [CP], which allows for an inverse limit description, in terms of densely branching trees [BS]. The second is the introduction of a kneading theory for these maps, as well as folding patterns, similar to the case of Lozi maps [MS] (see also [BBS]).

Two Hénon maps from Benedicks-Carleson family are conjugate on their strange attractors if and only if their kneading sequences coincide, if and only if their folding patterns agree.
