In the space of C^k piecewise expanding unimodal maps, k>=1, we characterize the C^1 smooth families of maps where the topological dynamics does not change (the "smooth deformations") as the families tangent to a continuous distribution of…
We show that every automorphism $\alpha$ of a free group $F_k$ of finite rank $k$ has {\it asymptotically periodic} dynamics on $F_k$ and its boundary $\partial F_k$: there exists a positive power $\alpha^q$ such that every element of the…
We study the dynamics of polynomial mappings f:C^k to C^k of degree at least 2 that extend continuously to projective space P^k. Our approach is to study the dynamics near the hyperplane at infinity and then making a descent to K --- the…
We obtain the list of automorphism groups for smooth plane sextic curves over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic p=0 or p>21. Moreover, we assign to each group a geometrically complete family over K describing its…
We investigate the dynamical behaviour of a holomorphic map on a $f-$invariant subset $\mathcal{C}$ of $U,$ where $f:U \to \mathbb{C}^k.$ We study two cases: when $U$ is an open, connected and polynomially convex subset of $\mathbb{C}^k$…
We construct k-parameter families of rational surface automorphisms for any k. These are automorphisms of surfaces X, which are constructed from iterated blowups over the projective plane. In certain cases: we are able to determine the…
We show that for any k>1, stratified sets of finite complexity are insufficient to realize all homology classes of codimension k in all smooth manifolds. We also prove a similar result concerning smooth generic maps whose double-point sets…
Let $X$ be a connected Oka manifold, and let $S$ be a Stein manifold with $\mathrm{dim} S \geq \mathrm{dim} X$. We show that every continuous map $S\to X$ is homotopic to a surjective strongly dominating holomorphic map $S\to X$. We also…
In this paper we study properties of endomorphisms of $\p^k$ using a symmetric product construction $(\p^1)^k/\mathfrak{S}_k \cong \p^k$. Symmetric products have been used to produce examples of endomorphisms of $\p^k$ with certain…
In this paper we study the connectivity of Fatou components for maps in a large family of singular perturbations. We prove that, for some parameters inside the family, the dynamical planes for the corresponding maps present Fatou components…
We study the dynamics of a generic endomorphism $f$ of an Oka-Stein manifold $X$. Such manifolds include all connected linear algebraic groups and, more generally, all Stein homogeneous spaces of complex Lie groups. We give several…
We consider linear iterated function systems (IFS) with a constant contraction ratio in the plane for which the "overlap set" $\Ok$ is finite, and which are "invertible" on the attractor $A$, the sense that there is a continuous surjection…
A rational function of degree at least two with coefficients in an algebraically closed field is post-critically finite (PCF) if all of its critical points have finite forward orbit under iteration. We show that the collection of PCF…
Consider the standard family of complex H\'enon maps $H(x,y) = (p(x) - ay, x)$, where $p$ is a quadratic polynomial and $a$ is a complex parameter. Let $U^{+}$ be the set of points that escape to infinity under forward iterations. The…
In this manuscript we systematically review known results of local dynamics of discrete local holomorphic dynamics near fixed points in one and several complex variables as well as the consequences in global dynamics.
Let $ R$ be a compact Riemann surface, and let $ P: R \to \mathbb P^1(\mathbb C) $ and $ Q: R \to \mathbb P^1(\mathbb C) $ be holomorphic maps. In this paper, we investigate the following problem: under what conditions do the preimages $…
From a two-agent, two-strategy congestion game where both agents apply the multiplicative weights update algorithm, we obtain a two-parameter family of maps of the unit square to itself. Interesting dynamics arise on the invariant diagonal,…
Let K be a finite-dimensional, 1-connected complex Lie group, and let \Sigma_k=\Sigma - {p_1,\ldots,p_k\} be a compact connected Riemann surface \Sigma, from which we have extracted k > 0 distinct points. We study in this article the…
Pluriharmonic maps form an important class of harmonic maps which includes holomorphic maps. We study their morphisms, in particular the inter-relationships between $(1,1)$-geodesic, pluriharmonic and $\pm$holomorphic maps. Then we…
A few facts concerning the phrase "the automorphism groups become larger at special points of the moduli of K3 surfaces" are presented. It is also shown that the automorphism groups are of infinite order over a dense subset in any…
