Suppose $\{f_t\}$ is an analytic one-parameter family of rational maps defined over a non-Archimedean field $K$. We prove a finiteness theorem for the set of rescalings for $\{f_t\}$. This complements results of J. Kiwi.

Let F : V --> V be a self-morphism of a quasiprojective variety defined over a number field K and let P be a point in V(K) with infinite orbit under iteration of F. For each prime ideal p of good reduction, let m_p(F,P) be the size of the…

We give bounds for the number and the size of the primes $p$ such that a reduction modulo $p$ of a system of multivariate polynomials over the integers with a finite number $T$ of complex zeros, does not have exactly $T$ zeros over the…

For a field K, rational function phi in K(z) of degree at least two, and alpha in P^1(K), we study the polynomials in K[z] whose roots are given by the solutions to phi^n(z) = alpha, where phi^n denotes the nth iterate of phi. When the…

The reduction of dynamical systems has a rich history, with many important applications related to stability, control and verification. Reduction of nonlinear systems is typically performed in an exact manner - as is the case with…

Let F: P^N_K --> P^N_K be a morphism of degree d > 1 defined over a field K that is algebraically closed and complete with respect to a nonarchimedean absolute value. We prove that a modified Green function G_F associated to F is Holder…

A rational function of degree at least two with coefficients in an algebraically closed field is post-critically finite (PCF) if all of its critical points have finite forward orbit under iteration. We show that the collection of PCF…

If K/k is a function field in one variable of positive characteristic, we describe a general algorithm to factor one-variable polynomials with coefficients in K. The algorithm is flexible enough to find factors subject to additional…

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…

In this paper, we first prove an abstract theorem on the existence of polynomial attractors and the concrete estimate of their attractive velocity for infinite-dimensional dynamical systems, then apply this theorem to a class of wave…

An n dimensional monomial dynamical system over a finite field K is a nonlinear deterministic time discrete dynamical system with the property that each of the n component functions is a monic nonzero monomial function in n variables. In…

Given a global field K and a polynomial f defined over K of degree at least two, Morton and Silverman conjectured in 1994 that the number of K-rational preperiodic points of f is bounded in terms of only the degree of K and the degree of f.…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for post-critically finite polynomials to have persistent bad reduction at a given prime. We also answer in the negative a pair of questions posed by Silverman about conservative polynomials. Our…

Let $P\in\mathbb{P}_1(\mathbb{Q})$ be a periodic point for a monic polynomial with coefficients in $\mathbb{Z}$. With elementary techniques one sees that the minimal periodicity of $P$ is at most $2$. Recently we proved a generalization of…

The aim of this paper is to provide sufficient conditions for when a polynomial or rational function over a field K is prime using its order of vanishing at infinity and the resultant.

We give a good reduction criterion for proper polycurves with sections,i.e., successive extensions of family of curves with section, under mild assumption. This criterion is a higher dimensional version of the good reduction criterion for…

We provide conditions on the p-adic Galois representation of a smooth proper variety over a complete nonarchimedean extension of Q_p to have (potentially) good ordinary reduction.

In this work we study constant-coefficient first order systems of partial differential equations and give necessary and sufficient conditions for those systems to have a well posed Cauchy Problem. In many physical applications, due to the…

For a function field $K$ and fixed polynomial $F\in K[x]$ and varying $f\in F$ (under certain restrictions) we give a lower bound for the degree of the greatest prime divisor of $F(f)$ in terms of the height of $f$, establishing a strong…

Consider a finite l-group acting on the affine space of dimension n over a field k, whose characteristic differs from l. We prove the existence of a fixed point, rational over k, in the following cases: --- The field k is p-special for some…
