We obtain an analogue of the prime number theorem for a class of branched covering maps on the $2$-sphere called expanding Thurston maps $f$, which are topological models of some rational maps without any smoothness or holomorphicity…

A wide range of intuitionistic type theories may be presented as equational theories within a logical framework. This method was formulated by Per Martin-L\"{o}f in the mid-1980's and further developed by Uemura, who used it to prove an…

In this paper, we prove that an expanding Thurston map $f\colon S^2 \rightarrow S^2$ is asymptotically $h$-expansive if and only if it has no periodic critical points, and that no expanding Thurston map is $h$-expansive. As a consequence,…

This paper presents and explores a theory of \emph{multiholomorphic maps}. This group of ideas generalizes the theory of pseudoholomorphic curves in a direction suggested by consideration of the kinds of compatible geometric structures that…

This is the announcement, and the long summary, of a series of articles on the algorithmic study of Thurston maps. We describe branched coverings of the sphere in terms of group-theoretical objects called bisets, and develop a theory of…

Let $f$ be a postcritically finite branched self-cover of a 2-dimensional topological sphere. Such a map induces an analytic self-map $\sigma_f$ of a finite-dimensional Teichm\"uller space. We prove that this map extends continuously to the…

Via taking connected components of preimages, a Thurston map $f: (S^2, P_f) \to (S^2, P_f)$ induces a pullback relation on the set of isotopy classes of curves in the complement of its postcritical set $P_f$. We survey known results about…

We extend the concept of a Hubbard tree, well established and useful in the theory of polynomial dynamics, to the dynamics of transcendental entire functions. We show that Hubbard trees in the strict traditional sense, as invariant compact…

In this paper we prove the algebraic-tropical correspondence for stable maps of rational curves with marked points to toric varieties such that the marked points are mapped to given orbits in the big torus and in the boundary divisor, the…

We show that for every non-elementary hyperbolic group, an associated topological flow space admits a coding based on a transitive subshift of finite type. Applications include regularity results for Manhattan curves, the uniqueness of…

Combining two existing rigorous computational methods, for verifying hyperbolicity (due to Arai) and for computing topological entropy bounds (due to Day et al.), we prove lower bounds on topological entropy for 43 hyperbolic plateaus of…

We find all quadratic post-critically finite (PCF) rational maps defined over the rationals. We describe an algorithm to search for possibly PCF maps. Using the algorithm, we eliminate all but twelve rational maps, all of which are…

In this article, we study integrals on the unitary group with respect to the Haar measure. We give a combinatorial interpretation in terms of maps of the asymptotic topological expansion, established previously by Guionnet and Novak. The…

We show that the rational homotopy type of the complement of a toric arrangement is completely determined by two sets of combinatorial data. This is obtained by introducing a differential graded algebra over Q whose minimal model is…

This paper is a follow-up to our joint paper with I. Agol, P. Storm and K. Whyte "Finiteness of arithmetic hyperbolic reflection groups". The main purpose is to investigate the effective side of the method developed there and its possible…

Thurston obtained a classification of individual surface homeomorphisms via the dynamics of the corresponding mapping class elements on Teichm\"uller space. In this paper we present certain extended versions of this, first, to random…

Let $f: S^2 \to S^2$ be an expanding branched covering map of the sphere to itself with finite postcritical set $P_f$. Associated to $f$ is a canonical quasisymmetry class $\GGG(f)$ of Ahlfors regular metrics on the sphere in which the…

In this paper, we use the thermodynamical formalism to show that there exists a unique equilibrium state $\mu_\phi$ for each expanding Thurston map $f: S^2\rightarrow S^2$ together with a real-valued H\"older continuous potential $\phi$.…

The combinatorial hierarchical hyperbolicity criterion is a very useful way of constructing new hierarchically hyperbolic spaces (HHSs). We show that, conversely, HHSs satisfying natural assumptions (satisfied, for example, by mapping class…

We exhibit a closed hyperbolic 3-manifold which satisfies a very strong form of Thurston's Virtual Fibration Conjecture. In particular, this manifold has finite covers which fiber over the circle in arbitrarily many ways. More precisely, it…
