We introduce the notion of dynamically marked rational maps. We study sequences of analytic conjugacy classes of rational maps which diverge in moduli space. In particular, we are interested in the notion of rescaling limits introduced by…

We consider a sequence of complex rational maps (f_n) of a fixed degree d at least 2. Building on the seminal work of Kiwi, we introduce the notion of generalized rescaling limits. These are rational maps possibly defined over a…

We already saw in [A1] that the space of dynamically marked rational maps can be identified to a subspace of the space of covers between trees of spheres on which there is a notion of convergence that makes it sequentially compact. In the…

In this paper, we show that one can naturally associate a limiting dynamical system $F: T\longrightarrow T$ on an $\R$-tree to any degenerating sequence of rational maps $f_n: \hat\C \longrightarrow \hat\C$ of fixed degree. The construction…

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 discuss rescaling limits for sequences of complex rational maps in one variable which approach infinity in parameter space.It is shown that any given sequence of maps of degree $d \ge 2$ has at most $2d-2$ dynamically distinct rescaling…

In this paper, we study the dynamics of degenerating sequences of rational maps on Riemann sphere $\hat{\mathbb{C}}$ using $\mathbb{R}$-trees. Given a sequence of degenerating rational maps, we give two constructions for limiting dynamics…

The main purpose of this paper is to define dynamical degrees for rational maps over an algebraic closed field of characteristic zero and prove some basic properties (such as log-concavity) and give some applications. We also define…

We investigate the topology of the space of M\"obius conjugacy classes of degree $d$ rational maps on the Riemann sphere. We show that it is rationally acyclic and we compute its fundamental group. As a byproduct, we also obtain the ranks…

We look at periodic Jacobi matrices on trees. We provide upper and lower bounds on the gap of such operators analogous to the well known gap in the spectrum of the Laplacian on the upper half-plane with hyperbolic metric. We make some…

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.

We give a positive answer to a question of J. Doyle and J. Silverman about fields of definition of dynamical systems on $\mathbb{P}^{n}$. We prove that, for fixed $n$, there exists a constant $C_{n}$ such that every dynamical system…

We consider matrices on infinite trees which are universal covers of Jacobi matrices on finite graphs. We are interested in the question of the existence of sequences of finite covers whose normalized eigenvalue counting measures converge…

We consider two cycles on the moduli space of compact type curves and prove that they coincide. The first is defined by pushing forward the virtual fundamental classes of spaces of relative stable maps to an unparameterized rational curve,…

We get three basic results in algebraic dynamics: (1). We give the first algorithm to compute the dynamical degrees to arbitrary precision. (2). We prove that for a family of dominant rational self-maps, the dynamical degrees are lower…

We give formulas and effective sharp bounds for the degree of multi-graded rational maps and provide some effective and computable criteria for birationality in terms of their algebraic and geometric properties. We also extend the Jacobian…

In this paper, we study quasi post-critically finite degenerations for rational maps. We construct limits for such degenerations as geometrically finite rational maps on a finite tree of Riemann spheres. We prove the boundedness for such…

We construct a family of rational map sequences providing an arbitrary large number of dynamically independent rescaling limits of non monomial type. From this, we deduce the existence of a family of rational maps providing a non trivial…

It is often the case that a covering map of the open annulus is semiconjugate to a map of the circle of the same degree. We investigate this possibility and its consequences on the dynamics. In particular, we address the problem of the…

Collective behaviour in biological systems pitches us against theoretical challenges way beyond the borders of ordinary statistical physics. The lack of concepts like scaling and renormalization is particularly grievous, as it forces us to…
