Let $K$ be a number field and $\phi\in K(z)$ a rational function. Let $S$ be the set of all archimedean places of $K$ and all non-archimedean places associated to the prime ideals of bad reduction for $\phi$. We prove an upper bound for…

A theorem of B. Green states that if A is a Dedekind ring whose fraction field is a local or global field, every normal projective curve over Spec(A) has a finite morphism to P^1_A. We give a different proof of a variant of this result…

Let f be a function from the set of rational numbers into itself. We call f a global power map if f(n) = n^k for some integer exponent k. We call f a local power map at the prime number p if f induces a well-defined group homomorphism on…

A dominant rational self-map on a projective variety is called $p$-cohomologically hyperbolic if the $p$-th dynamical degree is strictly larger than other dynamical degrees. For such a map defined over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$, we study…

Let F be a finite field of characteristic p. We consider smooth surfaces over F(t) defined by an equation f+tg=0, where f and g are forms of degree d in 4 variables with coefficients in F, with d prime to p. We prove : For such surfaces…

Let $P\in\mathbb{P}_1(\mathbb{Q})$ be a periodic point for a monic polynomial with coefficients in $\mathbb{Z}$. With elementary techniques one sees that the minimal periodicity of $P$ is at most $2$. Recently we proved a generalization of…

We prove a version of Silverman's dynamical integral point theorem for a large class of rational functions defined over global function fields.

This paper proves local-global principles for Galois cohomology groups over function fields $F$ of curves that are defined over a complete discretely valued field. We show in particular that such principles hold for $H^n(F, Z/mZ(n-1))$, for…

We define arithmetical and dynamical degrees for dynamical systems with several rational maps on projective varieties, study their properties and relations, and prove the existence of a canonical height function associated with divisorial…

In [DKY], it was conjectured that there is a uniform bound $B$, depending only on the degree $d$, so that any pair of holomorphic maps $f, g :\mathbb{P}^1\to\mathbb{P}^1$ with degree $d$ will either share all of their preperiodic points or…
