We return to Takagi's variational principle, generalized after forty years to two complex variables by Pfister. Both isolating some extremal rational functions associated to a bounded holomorphic function in the unit disk, respectively the…

We show that certain quotients of Artin L-functions have infinitely many poles. Our result follows from a converse theorem for Maass forms of Laplace eigenvalue 1/4 in which the twisted L-functions are not assumed to be entire. We do not…

Partial zeta functions of algebraic varieties over finite fields generalize the classical zeta function by allowing each variable to be defined over a possibly different extension field of a fixed finite field. Due to this extra variation…

We prove orientation results for evaluation maps of moduli spaces of rational stable maps to del Pezzo surfaces over a field, both in characteristic $0$ and in positive characteristic. These results and the theory of degree developed in a…

For rational functions, we use simple but elegant techniques to strengthen generalizations of certain results which extend some widely known polynomial inequalities of Erd\"os-Lax and Tur\'an to rational functions R. In return these…

We determine all degree-4 rational functions f(X) in F_q(X) which permute P^1(F_q), and answer two questions of Ferraguti and Micheli about the number of such functions and the number of equivalence classes of such functions up to composing…

In this paper, we construct a digraph structure on $p$-adic dynamical systems defined by rational functions. We study the conditions under which the functions are measure-preserving, invertible and isometric, ergodic, and minimal on…

This article advances the results of Duke on the average surjectivity of Galois representations for elliptic curves to the context of Drinfeld modules over function fields. Let $F$ be the rational function field over a finite field. I…

We discuss the rational points on del Pezzo surface of degree 1 and 2 over any finite field $\mathbb F_q$, and give out the explicit equations of del Pezzo surfaces that have unique rational point.

In 2012 Chen and Singer introduced the notion of discrete residues for rational functions as a complete obstruction to rational summability. More explicitly, for a given rational function f(x), there exists a rational function g(x) such…

Let $g \in L^2(\mathbb{R})$ be a rational function of degree $M$, i.e. there exist polynomials $P, Q$ such that $g = {{P} \over {Q}}$ and $deg(P) < deg(Q) \leq M$. We prove that for any $\varepsilon>0$ and any $M \in \mathbb{N}$ there…

We prove a dynamical Shafarevich theorem on the finiteness of the set of isomorphism classes of rational maps with fixed degeneracies. More precisely, fix an integer d at least 2 and let K be either a number field or the function field of a…

We give defining equations for function fields over finite fields with many rational places. They are obtained from composita of quadratic extensions of the rational function field.

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.

We study the number of real rational degree n functions (considered up to linear fractional transformations of the independent variable) with a given set of 2n-2 distinct real critical values. We present a combinatorial reformulation of…

The scalar functional determinants on sectors of the two-dimensional disc and spherical cap are determined for arbitrary angles (rational factors of $\pi$). The wholesphere and hemisphere expressions are also given, in low dimensions, for…

We carry out an arithmetical study of analytic functions $f: [0,1] \to [0,1]$ that by restriction induce a bijection $\mathbb{Q} \cap [0,1] \to \mathbb{Q} \cap [0,1]$. The existence of such functions shows that, unless $f(x)$ has some…

Motivated by recent work in the mathematics and engineering literature, we study integrability and non-tangential regularity on the two-torus for rational functions that are holomorphic on the bidisk. One way to study such rational…

Ouroboros functions have shown some interesting properties when subjected to conventional operations. The aim of this paper is to continue our investigation and prove some additional properties of these functions. Using algebraic methods,…

Let f be holomorphically continuable over the complex plane except for finitely many branch points contained in the unit disk. We prove that best rational approximants to f of degree n, in the L^2-sense on the unit circle, have poles that…
