Let $f$ be an endomorphism of the projective line. There is a natural conjugation action on the space of such morphisms by elements of the projective linear group. The group of automorphisms, or stabilizer group, of a given $f$ for this…

In this note, we prove, for instance, that the automorphism group of a rational manifold X which is obtained from CP^k by a finite sequence of blow-ups along smooth centers of dimension at most r with k>2r+2 has finite image in…

We investigate the tautness of invariant Fatou components for holomorphic endomorphisms of P^2. Previously, only basins of attraction were known to be taut. We show that two other kinds of recurrent Fatou components are taut. In the first…

We classify finite groups acting by birational transformations of a non-trivial Severi--Brauer surface over a field of characteristc zero that are not conjugate to subgroups of the automorphism group. Also, we show that the automorphism…

We prove that, for an Enriques surface in odd characteristic, the automorphism group is finitely generated and it acts on the effective nef cone with a rational polyhedral fundamental domain. We also construct a smooth projective surface in…

Orthogonal rational functions (ORF) on the unit circle generalize orthogonal polynomials (poles at infinity) and Laurent polynomials (poles at zero and infinity). In this paper we investigate the properties of and the relation between these…

Affine surfaces in $\mathbb{C}^{3}$ defined by an equation of the form $x^{n}z-Q(x,y)=0$ have been increasingly studied during the past 15 years. Of particular interest is the fact that they come equipped with an action of the additive…

We study dynamical systems with the property that all the nontrivial factors have infinite topological entropy (or, positive mean dimension). We establish an ``if and only if'' condition for this property among a typical class of dynamical…

Consider the scheme parametrizing non-constant morphisms from a fixed projective curve to a projective surface. There is a rational map between this scheme and the Chow variety of $1$-cycles on the surface. We prove that, if the curve is…

Multidimensional cosmological models with $n (n > 1)$ spaces of constant curvature are discussed classically and with respect to canonical quantization. These models are integrable in the case of Ricci flat internal spaces. For positive…

A convenient measure of a map or flow's chaotic action is the topological entropy. In many cases, the entropy has a homological origin: it is forced by the topology of the space. For example, in simple toral maps, the topological entropy is…

We construct a smooth rational affine surface S with finite automorphism group but with the property that the group of automorphisms of the cylinder SxA^2 acts infinitely transitively on the complement of a closed subset of codimension at…

We say (W, \{\phi_1,..., \phi_t\}) is a polarizable dynamical system of several morphisms if \phi_i are endomorphisms on a projective variety $W$ such that \bigotimes \phi_i^*L is linearly equivalent to L^q} for some ample line bundle L on…

The conical Radon transform, which assigns to a given function $f$ on $\mathbb R^3$ its integrals over conical surfaces, arises in several imaging techniques, e.g. in astronomy and homeland security, especially when the so-called Compton…

Suppose f is a C^{1+\epsilon} surface diffeomorphism with positive topological entropy. For every positive \delta strictly smaller than the topological entropy of f we construct an invariant Borel set E such that (a) f|E has a countable…

We consider log Calabi-Yau surfaces $(Y, D)$ with singular boundary. In each deformation type, there is a distinguished surface $(Y_e,D_e)$ such that the mixed Hodge structure on $H_2(Y \setminus D)$ is split. We prove that (1) the action…

We show that if a meromorphic function has two completely invariant Fatou components and only finitely many critical and asymptotic values, then its Julia set is a Jordan curve. However, even if both domains are attracting basins, the Julia…

Subsurface projection has become indispensable in studying the geometry of the mapping class group and the curve complex of a surface. When the subsurface is an annulus, this projection is sometimes called relative twisting. We give two…

Many branches of theoretical and applied mathematics require a quantifiable notion of complexity. One such circumstance is a topological dynamical system - which involves a continuous self-map on a metric space. There are many notions of…
