We establish a general result on the existence of partially defined semiconjugacies between rational functions acting on the Riemann sphere. The semiconjugacies are defined on the complements to at most one-dimensional sets. They are…
We develop contractive finite dimensional realizations for rational matrix functions of one variable on domains that are not simply connected, such as the annulus. The proof uses multivariable contractive realization results as well as…
A rational function is the ratio of two complex polynomials in one variable without common roots. Its degree is the maximum of the degrees of the numerator and the denominator. Rational functions belong to the same class if one turns into…
In this note, we give a new simple system of global parameters on the moduli space of rational functions, and clarify the relation to the parameters indicating location of fixed points and the indices at them. As a byproduct, we solve a…
We study the compactification of the moduli space of a certain class of rank-two irregular connections on the Riemann sphere, presenting one double pole and two simple poles. To construct the compactification explicitly, we identify a class…
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…
Over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, there exist rational functions with only one critical point. We give an elementary characterization of these functions in terms of their continued fraction expansions. Then we…
We consider the connection of functional decompositions of rational functions over the real and complex numbers, and a question about curves on a Riemann sphere which are invariant under a rational function.
Rational inner functions are a generalization of finite Blaschke products to several variables. In this article we survey a variety of results about rational inner functions related to interpolation, sums of squares formulas, and boundary…
We study polynomials with no zeros on the unit ball in complex Euclidean space with a view toward characterizing when a rational function is bounded on the ball. We give a complete local description of such polynomials in two variables near…
We formulate some problems and conjectures about semigroups of rational functions under composition. The considered problems arise in different contexts, but most of them are united by a certain relationship to the concept of amenability.
We study the expressivity of rational neural networks (RationalNets) through the lens of algebraic geometry. We consider rational functions that arise from a given RationalNet to be tuples of fractions of homogeneous polynomials of fixed…
The theory of modular forms and spherical harmonic analysis are applied to establish new best bounds towards the counting and equidistribution of rational points on spheres and other higher dimensional ellipsoids, in what may be viewed as a…
Functions with singularities are notoriously difficult to approximate with conventional approximation schemes. In computational applications, they are often resolved with low-order piecewise polynomials, multilevel schemes, or other types…
We give an elementary characterization of rational functions among meromorphic functions in the complex plane.
A new classification of real functions and other related real objects defined within a compact interval is proposed. The scope of the classification includes normal real functions and distributions in the sense of Schwartz, referred to…
This article describes a sequence of rational functions which converges locally uniformly to the zeta function. The numerators (and denominators) of these rational functions can be expressed as characteristic polynomials of matrices that…
An explicit invariant-theoretic description of the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_3^1$ of degree-three rational maps on $\mathbb{P}^1$ is developed. A cubic map $\phi$ is represented, up to conjugation, by the pair of binary forms $(f, g) \in…
We define a kind of moduli space of nested surfaces and mappings, which we call a comparison moduli space. We review examples of such spaces in geometric function theory and modern Teichmueller theory, and illustrate how a wide range of…
We characterize the space of restrictions of real rational functions to certain algebraic Jordan curves in the plane via the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map associated to the domain in the complex plane bounded by the curve and its Bergman kernel.…
