We characterize pairs of rational functions $A$, $B$ such that $A$ is semiconjugate to $B$, and $B$ is semiconjugate to $A$.
We investigate semiconjugate rational functions, that is rational functions $A,$ $B$ related by the functional equation $A\circ X=X\circ B$, where $X$ is a rational function of degree at least two. We show that if $A$ and $B$ is a pair of…
We consider spaces for which there is a notion of harmonicity for complex valued functions defined on them. For instance, this is the case of Riemannian manifolds on one hand, and (metric) graphs on the other hand. We observe that it is…
We define a set of holomorphic functions in terms of the Hauptmodul of a quotient Riemann surface and prove that these functions are holomorphic on the upper half-plane. It is also shown that these functions are automorphic forms of weight…
We formulate some problems and conjectures about semigroups of rational functions under composition. The considered problems arise in different contexts, but most of them are united by a certain relationship to the concept of amenability.
It is well known that the real and imaginary parts of any holomorphic function are harmonic functions of two variables. In this paper we generalize this property to finite-dimensional commutative algebras. We prove that if some basis of a…
Necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained under which the numerator of the partial derivative of a rational function holomorphic in open upper poly-halfplane is the sum of squares of polynomials.
A natural kind of compactification of the virtual moduli spaces of rational functions of one complex variable is given. To describe the boundary points geometrically, the authors introduce the concept of rational functions with nodes,…
We give an elementary characterization of rational functions among meromorphic functions in the complex plane.
If the preimage of a four-point set under a meromorphic function belongs to the real line, then the image of the real line is contained in a circle in the Riemann sphere. We include an application of this result to holomorphic dynamics: if…
We consider the connection of functional decompositions of rational functions over the real and complex numbers, and a question about curves on a Riemann sphere which are invariant under a rational function.
We consider holomorphic functions on the unit disc whose images are contained in a strip of the complex plane. Under an additional condition, such functions are constants. We also consider appropriate operator valued versions. Applications…
We study several integrable Hamiltonian systems on the moduli spaces of meromorphic functions on Riemann surfaces (the Riemann sphere, a cylinder and a torus). The action-angle variables and the separated variables (in Sklyanin's sense) are…
We consider two relations on a $\cap$-semigroup of partial functions of a given set: the inclusion of domains and the semiadjacencity (i.e., the inclusion of the image of the first function into the domain of the second), which…
We define a very general class of rational functions f:CP^1 --> CP^1 such that for every function f of this class, there exists a countable family of smooth curves \gamma_i and a critically finite hyperbolic function R such that the…
System of alternatively orthogonalized rational functions of Jacobi type on the half line $[1, \infty)$ is defined and its properties are established. Three subsystems of proper and mixed systems of rational functions with nice properties…
We give a complete classification of Riemannian and Lorentzian surfaces of arbitrary codimension in a pseudo-sphere whose pseudo-spherical Gauss maps are of 1-type or, in particular, harmonic. In some cases a concrete global classification…
We investigate the random dynamics of rational maps on the Riemann sphere and the dynamics of semigroups of rational maps on the Riemann sphere. We show that regarding random complex dynamics of polynomials, in most cases, the chaos of the…
Rational maps on the Riemann sphere occupy a distinguished niche in the general theory of smooth dynamical systems. First, rational maps are complex-analytic, so a broad spectrum of techniques can contribute to their study (quasiconformal…
We employ the notions of `sequential function' and `interrogation' (dialogue) in order to define new partial combinatory algebra structures on sets of functions. These structures are analyzed using J. Longley's preorder-enriched category of…
