We characterize meromorphic function fields closed by partial derivatives in n variables.

We present results expressing conditions for the existence of meromorphic first integrals for Pfaff equations of arbitrary codimension, integrable or not, on complex manifolds. These results are in the same vein as previous ones by J-P.…

Let $S$ be a set of dominant rational self-maps on $\mathbb{P}^N$. We study the arithmetic and dynamical degrees of infinite sequences of $S$ obtained by sequentially composing elements of $S$ on the right and left. We then apply this…

The subject of this paper is the bounded level curves of a meromorphic function $f$ with domain $G$ such that each component of $\partial{G}$ consists of a level curve of $f$. (A primary example of such a function being a ratio of finite…

We introduce a class of discrete dynamical systems that we call \emph{virtually expanding}. This is an open subset of self-covering maps on a closed manifold which contains all expanding maps and some partially hyperbolic volume-expanding…

In this work we explore the physics associated to Calabi-Yau (CY) n-folds that can be described as a fibration in more than one way. Beginning with F-theory vacua in various dimensions, we consider limits/dualities with M-theory, type IIA,…

We construct geometric examples of N-differential graded algebras such as the algebra of differential forms of depth $N$ on an affine manifold, and $N$-flat covariant derivatives.

This paper is an exploration of the faithful transitive permutation representations of the orientation-preserving automorphisms groups of highly symmetric toroidal maps and hypermaps. The main theorems of this paper give a list of all…

I compute the dynamical degrees in C. Voisin's example of a rational self-map of the variety of lines on a cubic fourfold.

In this paper we explore the mathematical structure of hierarchical organization in smooth dynamical systems. We start by making precise what we mean by a level in a hierarchy, and how the higher le vels need to respect the dynamics on the…

Completely positive trace preserving maps are widely used in quantum information theory. These are mostly studied using the master equation perspective. A central part in this theory is to study whether a given system of dynamical maps…

As a first step toward realizing a dynamical system that evolves while spontaneously determining its own rule for time evolution, function dynamics (FD) is analyzed. FD consists of a functional equation with a self-referential term, given…

Let $f$ be a meromorphic correspondence on a compact K\"ahler manifold $X$ of dimension $k$. Assume that its topological degree is larger than the dynamical degree of order $k-1$. We obtain a quantitative regularity of the equilibrium…

Any affine map on the (n+1)-dimensional Euclidean space gives rise to a natural map on the n-dimensional sphere whose dynamical aspects are not so well-studied in the literature. We explore the dynamical aspects of these maps by…

Let $D(M,N)$ be the set of integers that can be realized as the degree of a map between two closed connected orientable manifolds $M$ and $N$ of the same dimension. For closed $3$-manifolds with $S^3$-geometry $M$ and $N$, every such degree…

We study the degree of an $L$-Lipschitz map between Riemannian manifolds, proving new upper bounds and constructing new examples. For instance, if $X_k$ is the connected sum of $k$ copies of $\mathbb CP^2$ for $k \ge 4$, then we prove that…

In this partly expository paper we discuss conditions for the global injectivity of $C^2$ semi-algebraic local diffeomorphisms $f:\mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}^n$. In case $n > 2$, we consider the foliations of $\mathbb{R}^n$ defined by the…

This paper investigates dynamics that persist under isotopy in classes of orientation-preserving homeomorphisms of orientable surfaces. The persistence of periodic points with respect to periodic and strong Nielsen equivalence is studied.…

In this paper, we study arithmetic dynamics in arbitrary characteristic, in particular in positive characteristic. We generalise some basic facts on arithmetic degree and canonical height in positive characteristic. As applications, we…

Suppose that $F$ is a smooth and connected complex surface (not necessarily compact) containing a smooth rational curve with positive self-intersection. We prove that if there exists a non-constant meromorphic function on $F$, then the…
