The quantum action (dynamical) principle is exploited to investigate the nature and origin of the Faddeev-Popov (FP) factor in gauge theories without recourse to path integrals. Gauge invariant as well as gauge non-invariant interactions…

Let $I\subseteq{\mathbb{R_+}}$ be a non empty and non singleton interval where ${\mathbb{R_+}}$ denotes the set of all non negative numbers. A function $\Phi: I\to {\mathbb{R_+}}$ is said to be subadditive if for any $x,y$ and $x+y\in I$,…

This article is concerned with the following spectral problem: to find a positive function $\Phi$ $\in$ C 1 ($\Omega$) and $\lambda$ $\in$ R such that q(x)$\Phi$ (x) + ^ $\Omega$ J(x, y)$\Phi$(y) dy + a(x)$\Phi$(x) + $\lambda$$\Phi$(x) = 0…

Let $r\geq 2$ and $(X_i,G)$ $(i=1,\cdots,r)$ be topological dynamical systems with $G$ being an infinite discrete amenable group. Suppose that $\pi_i:(X_i,G)\to (X_{i+1},G)$ are factor maps and $0\leq w_i\leq 1$. In this article, for $f\in…

We prove a conjecture of Medvedev and Scanlon for endomorphisms of connected commutative linear algebraic groups $G$ defined over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb{k}$ of characteristic $0$. That is, if $\Phi\colon G\longrightarrow G$…

Local action principles on a manifold $\M$ are invariant (if at all) only under diffeomorphisms that preserve the boundary of $\M$. Suppose, however, that we wish to study only part of a system described by such a principle; namely, the…

Questions concerning small fractional parts of polynomials and pseudo-polynomials have a long history in analytic number theory. In this paper, we improve on earlier work by Madritsch and Tichy. In particular, let $f=P+\phi$ where $P$ is a…

Let K be a function field, let f be a rational function of degree d at least 2 defined over K, and suppose that f is not isotrivial. In this paper, we show that a point P in P^1(Kbar) has f-canonical height zero if and only if P is…

The dynamical degree of a dominant rational map $f:\mathbb{P}^N\rightarrow\mathbb{P}^N$ is the quantity $\delta(f):=\lim(\text{deg} f^n)^{1/n}$. We study the variation of dynamical degrees in 1-parameter families of maps $f_T$. We make a…

Let f(t) be a rational function of degree at least 2 with rational coefficients. For a given rational number x_0, define x_{n+1}=f(x_n) for each nonnegative integer n. If this sequence is not eventually periodic, then the difference…

Let $k$ be an algebraic closed field of characteristic zero. Let $K$ be the rational function field $K=k(t)$. Let $\phi$ be a non isotrivial rational function in $K(z)$. We prove a bound for the cardinality of the set of $K$--rational…

The notion of microscopic state of the system at a given moment of time as a point in the phase space as well as a notion of trajectory is widely used in classical mechanics. However, it does not have an immediate physical meaning, since…

Let $p$ be a prime, let $S$ be a non-empty subset of $\mathbb{F}_p$ and let $0<\epsilon\leq 1$. We show that there exists a constant $C=C(p, \epsilon)$ such that for every positive integer $k$, whenever $\phi_1, \dots, \phi_k:…

Let $F$ be a global field, let $\vp \in \Fx$ be a rational map of degree at least 2, and let $\a \in F$. We say that $\a $ is periodic if $\vpn (\a) = \a$ for some $n \geq 1$. A Hasse principle is the idea, or hope, that a phenomenon which…

Let $g \in L^2(\mathbb{R})$ be a rational function of degree $M$, i.e. there exist polynomials $P, Q$ such that $g = {{P} \over {Q}}$ and $deg(P) < deg(Q) \leq M$. We prove that for any $\varepsilon>0$ and any $M \in \mathbb{N}$ there…

Let $(X,d)$ be a compact metric space, $f:X \mapsto X$ be a continuous map with the specification property, and $\varphi: X \mapsto \IR$ be a continuous function. We prove a variational principle for topological pressure (in the sense of…

Characterizing existence or not of periodic orbit is a classical problem and it has both theoretical importance and many real applications. Here, several new criterions on nonexistence of periodic orbits of the planar dynamical system $\dot…
