Given a rational monomial map, we consider the question of finding a toric variety on which it is algebraically stable. We give conditions for when such variety does or does not exist. We also obtain several precise estimates of the degree…
Homeomorphisms allowing us to prove topological equivalences between one-parameter families of maps undergoing the same bifurcation are constructed in this paper. This provides a solution for a classical problem in bifurcation theory that…
The paper proves finite model property and decidability for a family of modal logics. A binary relation $R$ is called pretransitive, if $R^*=\cup_{i\leq m} R^i$ for some $m\geq 0$, where $R^*$ is the transitive reflexive closure of $R$. By…
Let $f,g:X \to Y$ be continuous mappings. We say that $f$ is topologically equivalent to $g$ if there exist homeomorphisms $\Phi : X\to X$ and $\Psi: Y\to Y$ such that $\Psi\circ f\circ \Phi=g.$ Let $X,Y$ be complex smooth irreducible…
Piecewise-linear maps describe dynamical phenomena that switch between distinct states and readily generate complex bifurcation structures due to their strong nonlinearity. We show that two-dimensional continuous piecewise-linear maps near…
Suppose that $f \colon X \dashrightarrow X$ is a dominant rational self-map of a smooth projective variety defined over ${\overline{\mathbf Q}}$. Kawaguchi and Silverman conjectured that if $P \in X({\overline{\mathbf Q}})$ is a point with…
We look at degenerating meromorphic families of rational maps on $\mathbb{P}^1$ -- holomorphically parameterized by a punctured disk -- and we provide examples where the bifurcation current fails to have a bounded potential in a…
A well-known theorem due to Ma\~n\'e-Sad-Sullivan and Lyubich asserts that J-stable maps are dense in any holomorphic family of rational maps in dimension 1. In this paper we show that the corresponding result fails in higher dimension.…
We consider the operation of intersecting with a locally principal Cartier divisor (i.e., a Cartier divisor which is principal on some neighborhood of its support). We describe this operation explicitly on the level of cycles and rational…
The critical height of a rational function (with algebraic coefficients) is a natural measure of dynamical complexity, essentially an adelic analogue of the Lyapunov exponent. Coordinate-free, it is well-defined on moduli space, but bears…
We present two case studies in one-dimensional dynamics concerning the discretization of transcritical (TC) and pitchfork (PF) bifurcations. In the vicinity of a TC or PF bifurcation point and under some natural assumptions on the one-step…
Caputo fractional (with power-law kernels) and fractional (delta) difference maps belong to a more widely defined class of generalized fractional maps, which are discrete convolutions with some power-law-like functions. The conditions of…
We show that the set of conjugacy classes of cubic polynomials with a prefixed critical point, of preperiod $k\geq 1$, is an irreducible algebraic curve. We also establish an analogous result for quadratic rational maps. We then study a…
We show that, assuming Vojta's height conjecture, the height of a rational point on an algebraically hyperbolic variety can be bounded "uniformly" in families. This generalizes a result of Su-Ion Ih for curves of genus at least two to…
Let $\mathcal A=\{A_1,\ldots,A_n\}$ be a family of sets in the plane. For $0 \leq i < n$, denote by $f_i$ the number of subsets $\sigma$ of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ of cardinality $i+1$ that satisfy $\bigcap_{i \in \sigma} A_i \neq \emptyset$. Let…
We develop dynamical theory for the family of holomorphic correspondences $\mathcal{F}_a$ proved by the current authors to be matings between the modular group and parabolic rational maps in the Milnor slice $Per_1(1)$ (in 'Mating quadratic…
We use model-theoretic tools originating from stability theory to derive a result we call the Finitary Substitute Lemma, which intuitively says the following. Suppose we work in a stable graph class C, and using a first-order formula {\phi}…
The purpose of this note is give some evidence in support of conjectures of Poonen, and Morton and Silverman, on the periods of rational numbers under the iteration of quadratic polynomials. In particular, Poonen conjectured that there are…
We introduce a subclass of recursive subhomogeneous algebras, in which each of the pullback maps is diagonal in a suitable sense. We define the notion of a diagonal map between two such algebras and show that every simple inductive limit of…
In this article, we combine complex-analytic and arithmetic tools to study the preperiodic points of one-dimensional complex dynamical systems. We show that for any fixed complex numbers a and b, and any integer d at least 2, the set of…
