Let $f$ be a polynomial map of the Riemann sphere of degree at least two. We prove that if $f$ has a Siegel disk $G$ on which the rotation number satisfies a diophantine condition, then the boundary of $G$ contains a critical point.
Bounded irreducible local Siegel disks include classical Siegel disks of polynomials, bounded irreducible Siegel disks of rational and entire functions, and the examples of Herman and Moeckel. We show that there are only two possibilities for the structure of the boundary of such a disk: either the boundary admits a nice decomposition onto a circle, or it is an indecomposable continuum.
