Let k be a field with char(k) not 2 or 3. Let C_f be the projective curve of a binary cubic form f, and k(C_f) the function field of C_f. In this paper we explicitly describe the relative Brauer group Br(k(C_f)/k) of k(C_f) over k. When f…

We prove that for a generic family of circle diffeomorphisms every parameter value that corresponds to an irrational rotation number is approximated by parameter values for which the diffeomorphisms have arbitrarily large finite numbers of…

We present a new formulation of the maximum clique problem of a graph in complex space. We start observing that the adjacency matrix A of a graph can always be written in the form A = B B where B is a complex, symmetric matrix formed by…

We present an elementary derivation of the period-three cycles for the real quadratic map $x\mapsto x^2+c$, a fundamental model in one-dimensional discrete dynamics. Using symmetric polynomials, we obtain a complete algebraic…

We consider quivers/skew-symmetric matrices under the action of mutation (in the cluster algebra sense). We classify those which are isomorphic to their own mutation via a cycle permuting all the vertices, and give families of quivers which…

Let G be a virtually cyclic of the form (Z_a x Z_b) x Z or [Z_a x (Z b x Q_{2^i})] x Z. We compute the integral cohomology ring of G, and then obtain the periodicity of the Farell cohomology of these groups.

We study a class of maps having the Collatz function (famously related to the Collatz Conjecture) as an example, under the topological and ergodic perspectives, including an approach with thermodynamic formalism. By introducing a key…

We study the dynamical properties of a broad class of high-dimensional random dynamical systems exhibiting chaotic as well as fixed point and periodic attractors. We consider cases in which attractors can co-exists in some regions of the…

We consider the Maxwell-Bloch system which is a finite-dimensional approximation of the coupled nonlinear Maxwell-Schr\"odinger equations. The approximation consists of one-mode Maxwell field coupled to two-level molecule. We construct…

The objective of this paper is to derive the essential invariance and contraction properties for the geometric periodic systems, which can be formulated as a category of differential inclusions, and primarily rendered in the phase…

We construct some analog of cubical Bloch's higher Chow groups. Instead of considering cycles in $X\times\mathbb A^n$ we consider varieties $Y$ over $X$ together with a distinguished element in the $n$-th exterior power of the…

We focus on two important classes of lattices, the well-rounded and the cyclic. We show that every well-rounded lattice in the plane is similar to a cyclic lattice, and use this cyclic parameterization to count planar well-rounded…

We present a novel numerical method to calculate periodic orbits for dynamical systems by an iterative process which is based directly on the action integral in classical mechanics. New solutions are obtained for the planar motion of three…

Understanding the dynamics around rotating black holes is imperative to the success of the future gravitational wave observatories. Although integrable in principle, test particle orbits in the Kerr spacetime can also be elaborate, and…

An element $X$ in the algebra ${\rm M}(n,\mathbb{F})$ of all $n\times n$ matrices over a field $\mathbb{F}$ is said to be $f$-cyclic if the underlying vector space considered as an $\mathbb{F}[X]$-module has at least one cyclic primary…

The cyclability of a graph is the maximum integer $k$ for which every $k$ vertices lie on a cycle. The algorithmic version of the problem, given a graph $G$ and a non-negative integer $k,$ decide whether the cyclability of $G$ is at least…

We show how the size of the Galois groups of iterates of a quadratic polynomial $f(x)$ can be parametrized by certain rational points on the curves $C_n:y^2=f^n(x)$ and their quadratic twists. To that end, we study the arithmetic of such…

The scaling behavior of cyclical growth (e.g. cycles of alternating deposition and desorption primary processes) is investigated theoretically and probed experimentally. The scaling approach to kinetic roughening is generalized to cyclical…

Circular layouts are a popular graph drawing style, where vertices are placed on a circle and edges are drawn as straight chords. Crossing minimization in circular layouts is \NP-hard. One way to allow for fewer crossings in practice are…

Classes of polynomial differential equations of degree n are considered. An explicit upper bound on the size of the coefficients are given which implies that each equation in the class has exactly n complex periodic solutions. In most of…
