The multi-critical fixed points of $O(N)$ symmetric models cease to exist in the $N\to\infty$ limit, but the mechanism regulating their annihilation still presents several enigmatic aspects. Here, we explore the evolution of high-order…

In a seminal paper, Viana built examples of maps presenting two positive Lyapunov exponents exploring skew-products of a (uniformly) expanding map and a quadratic map (order 2 critical point) perturbed by some level of noise. Here we extend…

This paper studies problems related to visibility among points in the plane. A point $x$ \emph{blocks} two points $v$ and $w$ if $x$ is in the interior of the line segment $\bar{vw}$. A set of points $P$ is \emph{$k$-blocked} if each point…

A classical result due to Blaschke states that for every analytic self-map $f$ of the open unit disk of the complex plane there exists a Blaschke product $B$ such that the zero sets of $f$ and $B$ agree. In this paper we show that there is…

We study the spectra of operators on periodic graphs using methods from combinatorial algebraic geometry. Our main result is a bound on the number of complex critical points of the Bloch variety, together with an effective criterion for…

We study a model of $n$ one-dimensional non-intersecting Brownian motions with two prescribed starting points at time $t=0$ and two prescribed ending points at time $t=1$ in a critical regime where the paths fill two tangent ellipses in the…

We give an alternative proof of the Benedicks-Carleson theorem on the existence of strange attractors in H\'enon-like families in the plane. To bypass a huge inductive argument, we introduce an induction-free explicit definition of…

This paper deepens the connections between critically finite rational maps and finite subdivision rules. The main theorem is that if f is a critically finite rational map with no periodic critical points, then for any sufficiently large…

We study QCD at non-zero quark density, zero temperature, infinite coupling using the Glasgow algorithm. An improved complex zero analysis gives a critical point \mu_c in agreement with that of chiral symmetry restoration computed with…

We establish an extension of Liouville's classical representation theorem for solutions of the partial differential equation $\Delta u=4 e^{2u}$ and combine this result with methods from nonlinear elliptic PDE to construct holomorphic maps…

We study a topologically exact, negative Schwarzian unimodal map whose critical point is non-recurrent and flat. Assuming the critical order is either logarithmic or polynomial, we establish the Large Deviation Principle and give a partial…

We present a phenomenological description of the critical slowing down associated with period-doubling bifurcations in discrete dynamical systems. Starting from a local Taylor expansion around the fixed point and the bifurcation parameter,…

In this paper we prove that no multiple of the linear system of plane curves of degree $d\geq 4$ with a point of multiplicity $d-m$ (with $2 \leq m \leq d$) and $m(2d-m)$ simple general points is effective.

We prove the existence of $N$ distinct pairs of nontrivial solutions for critical $p$-Laplacian problems in ${\mathbb R}^N$, as well as in bounded domains. To overcome the difficulties arising from the lack of compactness, we use a recent…

Given a set R of red points and a set B of blue points in the plane, the Red-Blue point separation problem asks if there are at most k lines that separate R from B, that is, each cell induced by the lines of the solution is either empty or…

We use the theory of self-similar groups to enumerate all combinatorial classes of non-exceptional quadratic Thurston maps with fewer than five postcritical points. The enumeration relies on our computation that the corresponding maps on…

Here is a square problem: in a unit square, is there a point with four rational distances to the vertices? A probability argument suggests a negative answer. This paper proves several special cases of the square problem: if the point sits…

In this paper by exploiting critical point theory, the existence of two distinct nontrivial solutions for a nonlinear algebraic system with a parameter is established. Our goal is achieved by requiring an appropriate behavior of the…

In this paper, we present a novel approach to investigate the existence of multiple critical points for a class of nonsmooth functionals. This method provides a robust framework to analyze the existence of solutions for problems involving…
