Let $f$ be a polynomial automorphism of the affine plane. In this paper we consider the possibility for it to possess infinitely many periodic points on an algebraic curve $C$. We conjecture that this happens if and only if $f$ admits a…
We consider accumulation of periodic points in local uniformly quasiregular dynamics. Given a local uniformly quasiregular mapping $f$ with a countable and closed set of isolated essential singularities and their accumulation points on a…
The point is to compare the mathematical meaning of the ``number of rational curves on a Calabi-Yau threefold'' to the meaning ascribed to the same notion by string theorists.
We find an asymptotic formula for the number of rational points near planar curves. More precisely, if $f:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ is a sufficiently smooth function defined on the interval $[\eta,\xi]$, then the number of rational…
We show, in an elementary way, that the Julia set of one-complex-variable entire functions is nonempty and perfect.
We prove that if $f$ and $g$ are postcritically finite rational maps whose Julia sets $\mathcal{J}(f), \mathcal{J}(g)$, respectively, are Sierpi\'nski carpets, and if $\xi$ is a quasiregular map of the Riemann sphere $\widehat{\mathbb{C}}$…
For a rational map $\phi: X \to G$ from a normal algebraic variety $X$ to a commutative algebraic group $G$, we define the modulus of $\phi$ as an effective divisor on $X$. We study the properties of the modulus. This work generalizes the…
A function f is continuous iff the PRE-image f^{-1}[V] of any open set V is open again. Dual to this topological property, f is called OPEN iff the IMAGE f[U] of any open set U is open again. Several classical Open Mapping Theorems in…
Brjuno and R\"ussmann proved that every irrationally indifferent fixed point of an analytic function with a Brjuno rotation number is linearizable, and Yoccoz proved that this is sharp for quadratic polynomials. Douady conjectured that this…
In this article, we show that every rational map whose multipliers all lie in a given number field is a power map, a Chebyshev map or a Latt\`{e}s map. This strengthens a conjecture by Milnor concerning rational maps with integer…
Given a quaternionic slice regular function $f$, we give a direct and effective way to compute the coefficients of its spherical expansion at any point. Such coefficients are obtained in terms of spherical and slice derivatives of the…
We prove that a long iteration of rational maps is expanding near boundaries of bounded type Siegel disks. This leads us to extend Petersen's local connectivity result on the Julia sets of quadratic Siegel polynomials to a general case. A…
We show that the iterative logarithm of each non-linear entire function is differentially transcendental over the ring of entire functions, and we give a sufficient criterion for such an iterative logarithm to be differentially…
We show that there exists a transcendental entire function whose Julia set has positive finite Lebesgue measure.
Given commuting functions f,g, with at most a countable compact set of essential singularities, recent results for entire functions are extended to prove that Julia sets match, J(f)=J(g), in a particular case in the class K. With this…
Over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, there exist rational functions with only one critical point. We give an elementary characterization of these functions in terms of their continued fraction expansions. Then we…
We establish Bowen's formula for the Julia set of a non-elementary, expanding, irreducible and aperiodic rational graph-directed Markov system satisfying the backward separating condition. Towards this end, we shall prove that the…
Let $F$ be a rational function of one complex variable of degree $m\geq 2$. The function $F$ is called simple if for every $z\in \mathbb C\mathbb P^1$ the preimage $F^{-1}\{z\}$ contains at least $m-1$ points. We show that if $F$ is a…
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…
Given a rational function of degree at least two defined over a number field k, we study the cardinality of the set of rational iterated preimages. We prove bounds for the cardinality of this set as the rational function varies in certain…
