We prove: If $f(z)$ is a critically finite rational map which has exactly two critical points and which is not conjugate to a polynomial, then the boundary of every Fatou component of $f$ is a Jordan curve. If $f(z)$ is a hyperbolic…

In this paper we consider function $f(x)={x+a\over bx+c}$, (where $b\ne 0$, $c\ne ab$, $x\ne -{c\over b}$) on three fields: the set of real, $p$-adic and complex numbers. We study dynamical systems generated by this function on each field…

An endomorphism $f:\mathbb{P}^k\to\mathbb{P}^k$ of degree $d\geq2$ is said to be postcritically finite (or PCF) if its critical set $\mathrm{Crit}(f)$ is preperiodic, i.e. if there are integers $m>n\geq0$ such that…

We determine upper bounds on the number of rational points of an affine or projective algebraic set defined over an extension of a finite field by a system of polynomial equations, including the case where the algebraic set is not defined…

It is proved that for every complex quadratic polynomial $f$ with Cremer's fixed point $z_0$ (or periodic orbit) for every $\delta>0$, there is at most one periodic orbit of minimal period $n$ for all $n$ large enough, entirely in the disc…

We prove that for a polynomial diffeomorphism of C^2, uniform hyperbolicity on the set of saddle periodic points implies that saddle points are dense in the Julia set. In particular f satisfies Smale's Axiom A on C^2 .

In this paper we characterise univariate rational functions over a number field $\K$ having infinitely many points in the cyclotomic closure $\K^c$ for which the orbit contains a root of unity. Our results are similar to previous results of…

In this article, we study algebraic dynamical pairs $(f,a)$ parametrized by an irreducible quasi-projective curve $\Lambda$ having an absolutely continuous bifurcation measure. We prove that, if $f$ is non-isotrivial and $(f,a)$ is…

Let f be a transcendental map, and let U be an attracting or parabolic basin, or a doubly parabolic Baker domain. Assume U is simply connected. Then, we prove that periodic points are dense in the boundary of U, under certain hypothesis on…

A period is a complex number arising as the integral of a rational function with algebraic number coefficients over a rationally-defined region. Although periods are typically transcendental numbers, there is a conjectural Galois theory of…

The Fatou-Julia iteration theory of rational and transcendental entire functions has recently been extended to quasiregular maps in more than two real dimensions. Our goal in this paper is similar; we extend the iteration theory of analytic…

We discuss analogues of the prime number theorem for a hyperbolic rational map f of degree at least two on the Riemann sphere. More precisely, we provide counting estimates for the number of primitive periodic orbits of f ordered by their…

It is proved that the Chebyshev's method applied to an entire function $f$ is a rational map if and only if $f(z) = p(z) e^{q(z)}$, for some polynomials $p$ and $q$. These are referred to as rational Chebyshev maps, and their fixed points…

Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Given a polynomial f(x,y) in K[x,y] with one place at infinity, we prove that either f is equivalent to a coordinate, or the family (f+c) has at most two rational elements. When…

Let $F$ be a number field. Given a quadratic polynomial $f_c(z) = z^2 + c \in F[z]$, we can construct a directed graph $Preper(f_c, F)$ (also called a portrait), whose vertices are $F$-rational preperiodic points for $f_c$, with an edge…

Let f(t) be a rational function of degree at least 2 with rational coefficients. For a given rational number x_0, define x_{n+1}=f(x_n) for each nonnegative integer n. If this sequence is not eventually periodic, then the difference…

Given a rational map of the Riemann sphere and a subset $A$ of its Julia set, we study the $A$-exceptional set, that is, the set of points whose orbit does not accumulate at $A$. We prove that if the topological entropy of $A$ is less than…

A set $R\subset \mathbb{N}$ is called rational if it is well-approximable by finite unions of arithmetic progressions. Examples of rational sets include many classical sets of number-theoretical origin such as the set of squarefree numbers,…

We continue the study of constructing invariant Laplacians on Julia sets, and studying properties of their spectra. In this paper we focus on two types of examples: 1) Julia sets of cubic polynomials $z^3 + c$ with a single critical point;…

Given a polynomial $p$, the degree of its Chebyshev's method $C_p$ is determined. If $p$ is cubic then the degree of $C_p$ is found to be $4,6$ or $7$ and we investigate the dynamics of $C_p$ in these cases. If a cubic polynomial $p$ is…
