Uniformization of tongues in Double Standard Map family and variation of maximal chaotic sets

We study hyperbolic components, also known as tongues, in the Double Standard Map family comprising circle maps of the form:
\begin{align*}
f_{a,b}(x)=\left(2x+a+\dfrac{b}{\pi} \sin(2\pi x)\right) \mod 1,\ a \in \mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z},\ 0 \leq b \leq 1. \end{align*} We prove simple connectedness of tongues by providing a dynamically natural real-analytic uniformization for each tongue. For maps in a tongue, we characterize the unique maximal subset of the circle on which $f_{a,b}$ is Devaney chaotic. We also show that the Hausdorff dimension of this maximal chaotic set varies real-analytically inside a tongue.
