We extend Theorem 1 of R. Reams, A Galois approach to m-th roots of matrices with rational entries, LAA 258 (1997), 187-194. Let $p(\lambda)$ be any polynomial over $\mathbb{Q}$ and let $A\in M_n(\mathbb{Q})$ have irreducible characteristic…

Motivated by a uniform boundedness conjecture of Morton and Silverman, we study the graphs of pre-periodic points for maps in three families of dynamical systems, namely the collections of rational functions of degree two having a periodic…

Let $p \geq 2$ be a prime number and let $\mathbb{C}_p$ be the completion of an algebraic closure of the $p$-adic rational field $\mathbb{Q}_p$. Let $f_c(z)$ be a one-parameter family of rational functions of degree $d\geq 2$, where the…

In this paper we prove that the monotonicity of kneading sequences and topological entropy, a fundamental structural property of the quadratic family, extends to the class of power-law unimodal maps $f_a(x)=a-|x|^r$ for arbitrary critical…

We extend Thurston's combinatorial criterion for postcritically finite rational maps to a class of rational maps with bounded type Siegel disks. The combinatorial characterization of this class of Siegel rational maps plays a special role…

In [19], Taslaman, Tisseur, and Zaballa show that any regular matrix polynomial $P(\lambda)$ over an algebraically closed field is spectrally equivalent to a triangular matrix polynomial of the same degree. When $P(\lambda)$ is real and…

In 1980s, Thurston established a topological characterization theorem for postcritically finite rational maps. In this paper, a decomposition theorem for a class of postcritically infinite branched covering termed `Herman map' is developed.…

Let $f$ be a rational map with degree $d\geq 2$ whose Julia set is connected but not equal to the whole Riemann sphere. It is proved that there exists a rational map $g$ such that $g$ contains a buried Julia component on which the dynamics…

We solve the longstanding conjecture by Milnor (1993) concerning the connectedness locus $M_1$ of the family of quadratic rational maps tangent to the identity at $\infty$. We prove that this locus in homeomorphic to the Mandelbrot set $M$…

Let c be a real parameter in the Mandelbrot set, and f_c(z):= z^2 + c. We prove a formula relating the topological entropy of f_c to the Hausdorff dimension of the set of rays landing on the real Julia set, and to the Hausdorff dimension of…

We study the class of entire transcendental maps of finite order with one critical point and one asymptotic value, which has exactly one finite pre-image, and having a persistent Siegel disc. After normalisation this is a one parameter…

We investigate the dynamics of semigroups generated by a family of polynomial maps on the Riemann sphere such that the postcritical set in the complex plane is bounded. Moreover, we investigate the associated random dynamics of polynomials.…

In this article, the dynamics of a one-parameter family of functions $f_{\lambda}(z) = \frac{\sin{z}}{z^2 + \lambda},$ $\lambda>0$, are studied. It shows the existence of parameters $0< \lambda_{1}< \lambda_{2}$ such that bifurcations occur…

The Frankl's conjecture, formulated in 1979. and still open, states that in every family of sets closed for unions there is an element contained in at least half of the sets. FC-families are families for which it is proved that every…

In this paper we explore by means of the method of Lagrangian descriptors the Julia sets arising from complex maps, and we analyze their underlying dynamics. In particular, we take a look at two classical examples: the quadratic mapping…

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…

The Frankl or Union-Closed Sets conjecture states that for any finite union-closed family of sets $\mathcal{F}$ containing some nonempty set, there is some element $i$ in the ground set $U(\mathcal F) := \bigcup_{S \in \mathcal{F}} S$ of…

Let $f_\theta(z)=e^{2\pi i\theta}z+z^2$ be the quadratic polynomial having an indifferent fixed point at the origin. For any bounded type irrational number $\theta\in\mathbb{R}\setminus\mathbb{Q}$ and any rational number $\nu\in\mathbb{Q}$,…

We investigate the family of marked Thurston maps that are defined everywhere on the topological sphere $S^2$, potentially excluding at most countable closed set of essential singularities. We show that when an unmarked Thurston map $f$ is…
