We show that a locally symmetric space of noncompact type and with finite volume is quasi-isometric to the euclidean cone over a finite simplicial complex. A detailed analysis of metric properties yields a proof of a conjecture of Siegel.

We study canonical heights for plane polynomial mappings of small topological degree. In particular, we prove that for points of canonical height zero, the arithmetic degree is bounded by the topological degree and hence strictly smaller…

It has been previously shown by two of the authors that some polynomial Julia sets are algorithmically impossible to draw with arbitrary magnification. On the other hand, for a large class of examples the problem of drawing a picture has…

We define and study when a polynomial mapping has a local or global time average. We conjecture that a polynomial f in the complex plane has a time average near a point z if and only if z is eventually mapped into a Siegel-disc of f. We…

The possibilities for limit functions on a Fatou component for the iteration of a single polynomial or rational function are well understood and quite restricted. In non-autonomous iteration, where one considers compositions of arbitrary…

If A is a strongly noetherian graded algebra generated in degree one, then there is a canonically constructed graded ring homomorphism from A to a twisted homogeneous coordinate ring B(X, L, sigma), which is surjective in large degree. This…

A decoration of the Mandelbrot set $M$ is a part of $M$ cut off by two external rays landing at some tip of a satellite copy of $M$ attached to the main cardioid. In this paper we consider infinitely renormalizable quadratic polynomials…

Given the projections of two semialgebraic sets defined by polynomial matrix inequalities, it is in general difficult to determine whether one is contained in the other. To address this issue we propose a new matrix Positivstellensatz that…

In the paper we describe basin of attraction and the Siegel discs of the $p$-adic dynamical system $f(x)=x^{2n+1}+ax^{n+1}$ over complex $p$-adic field.

Building on work of Davenport and Schmidt, we mainly prove two results. The first one is a version of Gel'fond's transcendence criterion which provides a sufficient condition for a complex or $p$-adic number $\xi$ to be algebraic in terms…

We produce arbitrarily large equivalence classes of matings with the aeroplane polynomial. These are obtained by a slight generalisation of the technique of proof of a similar result for Wittner captures.

Let $(K,v)$ be a henselian valued field. Let $\mathbb{P}^{dless}\subset K[x]$ be the set of monic, irreducible polynomials which are defectless and have degree greater than one. For a certain equivalence relation $\,\approx\,$ on…

In this article we provide a combinatorial sufficient (and conjecturally, necessary) condition (called $\alpha$-symmetry) for the mating of two postcritically finite polynomials in $\mathcal{S}_1$ to be obstructed. To do this, we study the…

We give an improved polynomial bound on the complexity of the equation solvability problem, or more generally, of finding the value sets of polynomials over finite nilpotent rings. Our proof depends on a result in additive combinatorics,…

We prove `polynomial in $k$' bounds on the size of the Bergman kernel for the space of holomorphic Siegel cusp forms of degree $n$ and weight $k$. When $n=1,2$ our bounds agree with the conjectural bounds on the aforementioned size, while…

We study the uniqueness properties of classical semiconjugations for analytic self-maps of the disk, by characterizing them as canonical solutions to certain functional equations. As a corollary, we obtain a complete description of all…

The radial polynomials of the 2D (circular) and 3D (spherical) Zernike functions are tabulated as powers of the radial distance. The reciprocal tabulation of powers of the radial distance in series of radial polynomials is also given, based…

Let $\alpha$ be an irrational number of sufficiently high type and suppose $P_\alpha(z)=e^{2\pi i\alpha}z+z^2$ has a Siegel disk $\Delta_\alpha$ centered at the origin. We prove that the boundary of $\Delta_\alpha$ is a Jordan curve, and…

As is well known, any complex cyclic matrix $A$ is similar to the unique companion matrix associated with the minimal polynomial of $A$. On the other hand, a cyclic matrix over a division ring $\mathbb F$ is similar to a companion matrix of…

In this paper we obtain several extensions to the quaternionic setting of some results concerning the approximation by polynomials of functions continuous on a compact set and holomorphic in its interior. The results include approximation…
