We prove the real non-attractive fixed point conjecture for complex polynomial and rational harmonic functions. A harmonic function $f=h+\overline{g}$ is polynomial (rational) if both $h$ and $g$ are polynomials (rational functions) of…

Let $k$ be a finite field extension of the function field $\bfF_p(T)$ and $\bar{k}$ its algebraic closure. We count points in projective space $\Bbb P ^{n-1}(\bar{k})$ with given height and of fixed degree $d$ over the field $k$. If…

We consider Siegel upper half space of rank two ${\cal H}^2$ and different subgroups $H\subseteq {\bf Sp(4,Z)}$ of finite index. The purpose of this paper is to prove that the field of rational functions of ${\cal H}^2/H$ has general type…

It is known that the infimum of the sectional curvatures (on the regular part) of orbit spaces of isometric actions on unit spheres in bounded above by $4$. We show that the infimum is $1$ for "most" actions, and determine the cases in…

We study the counting function of cubic function fields. Specifically, we derive an asymptotic formula for this counting function including a secondary term and an error term of order $\mathcal{O}\big(X^{2/3+\epsilon}\big)$, which matches…

For R(z, w) rational with complex coefficients, of degree at least 2 in w, we show that the number of rational functions f(z) solving the difference equation f(z+1)=R(z, f(z)) is finite and bounded just in terms of the degrees of R in the…

We study the problem of representing multivariate polynomials with rational coefficients, which are nonnegative and strictly positive on finite semialgebraic sets, using rational sums of squares. We focus on the case of finite semialgebraic…

We consider the structure of rational points on elliptic curves in Weierstrass form. Let x(P)=A_P/B_P^2 denote the $x$-coordinate of the rational point P then we consider when B_P can be a prime power. Using Faltings' Theorem we show that…

We prove a special case of a dynamical analogue of the classical Mordell-Lang conjecture. In particular, let $\phi$ be a rational function with no superattracting periodic points other than exceptional points. If the coefficients of $\phi$…

We prove the finiteness of the Zsigmondy set associated to the critical orbit of f(z) = z^d+c for rational values of c by finding an effective bound on the size of the set. For non-recurrent critical orbits, the Zsigmondy set is explicitly…

Let $K$ be a number field and $O_K$ the ring of integers of $K$. In the spirit of Siegel's theorem on integral points on affine algebraic curves, the plane Jacobian conjecture over $K$ is equivalent to the following statement: if $P,Q\in…

We consider the Hurwitz action on quasipositive factorizations of a 3-braid. In a previous paper, for any given 3-braid we described a certain finite set which contains at least one representative of each orbit. Here we give an algorithm to…

Let $f$ be a real polynomial function with $n$ variables and $S$ be a basic closed semialgebraic set in $\Bbb{R}^n$. In this paper, we are interested in the problem of identifying the type (local minimizer, maximizer or not extremum point)…

In this paper, we classify the groups of semisimilarities of finite classical polar spaces with exactly two orbits on the singular or isotropic points. As a byproduct, we obtain many highly symmetric regular sets in the point graphs of…

Given a number field $K$ and a polynomial $f(z) \in K[z]$ of degree at least 2, one can construct a finite directed graph $G(f,K)$ whose vertices are the $K$-rational preperiodic points for $f$, with an edge $\alpha \to \beta$ if and only…

In this paper, we give an elementary proof on the existence of an effective uniform upper bound on the size of integral periodic orbits of a single endomorphism in an affine space, dependent solely on its dimension. In fact, we derive a…

Let $K$ be a compact subset of the complex plane $\mathbb C.$ Let $P(K)$ and $R(K)$ be the closures in $C(K)$ of analytic polynomials and rational functions with poles off $K,$ respectively. Let $A(K) \subset C(K)$ be the algebra of…

A rational polytope is the convex hull of a finite set of points in $\R^d$ with rational coordinates. Given a rational polytope $P \subseteq \R^d$, Ehrhart proved that, for $t\in\Z_{\ge 0}$, the function $#(tP \cap \Z^d)$ agrees with a…
