In a recent paper by Cook, et al., which introduced the concept of unexpected plane curves, the focus was on understanding the geometry of the curves themselves. Here we expand the definition to hypersurfaces of any dimension and, using…
A polynomial skew product of C^2 is a map of the form f(z,w) = (p(z), q(z,w)), where p and q are polynomials, such that f is regular of degree d >= 2. For polynomial maps of C, hyperbolicity is equivalent to the condition that the closure…
Given two one-dimensional families $f$ and $g$ of regular plane polynomial automorphisms parameterised by an algebraic curve $B$, all defined over some number field $K$, such that one of them is dissipative, we prove that at any parameter…
Consider the smooth projective models C of curves y^2=f(x) with f(x) in Z[x] monic and separable of degree 2g+1. We prove that for g >= 3, a positive fraction of these have only one rational point, the point at infinity. We prove a lower…
We study the log-rank conjecture from the perspective of point-hyperplane incidence geometry. We formulate the following conjecture: Given a point set in $\mathbb{R}^d$ that is covered by constant-sized sets of parallel hyperplanes, there…
We investigate the phase diagram of the complex cubic unitary ensemble of random matrices with the potential $V(M)=-\frac{1}{3}M^3+tM$ where $t$ is a complex parameter. As proven in our previous paper, the whole phase space of the model,…
It is well known that the dynamical behavior of a rational map $f:\widehat{\mathbb C}\to \widehat{\mathbb C}$ is governed by the forward orbits of the critical points of $f$. The map $f$ is said to be postcritically finite if every critical…
Given a smooth projective curve C defined over a number field and given two elliptic surfaces E_1/C and E_2/C along with sections P_i and Q_i of E_i (for i = 1,2), we prove that if there exist infinitely many algebraic points t on C such…
In this note we study the distribution of real inflection points among the ovals of a real non-singular hyperbolic curve of even degree. Using Hilbert's method we show that for any integers $d$ and $r$ such that $4\leq r \leq 2d^2-2d$,…
A common practice in arithmetic geometry is that of generalizing rational points on projective varieties to integral points on quasi-projective varieties. Following this practice, we demonstrate an analogue of a result of L. Caporaso, J.…
Among all the dynamical modular curves associated to quadratic polynomial maps, we determine which curves have infinitely many quadratic points. This yields a classification statement on preperiodic points for quadratic polynomials over…
We prove the dynamical Mordell-Lang conjecture for product of endomorphisms of an affine curve and a projective curve over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$.
We study the parameter space of unicritical polynomials $f_c:z\mapsto z^d+c$. For complex parameters, we prove that for Lebesgue almost every $c$, the map $f_c$ is either hyperbolic or infinitely renormalizable. For real parameters, we…
Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, let X=P^1\times A^N and let f be a rational endomorphism of X given by (x,y)--->(g(x), A(x)y), where g is a rational function, while A is an N-by-N matrix with entries in k(x). We…
It is well known that the bounding curve of the central hyperbolic component of the Multibrot set in the parameter space of unicritical degree $d$ polynomials is an epicycloid with $d-1$ cusps. The interior of the epicycloid gives the…
We prove the mixing conjecture of Michel and Venkatesh for toral packets with negative fundamental discriminants and split at two fixed primes; assuming all splitting fields have no exceptional Landau-Siegel zero. As a consequence we…
We consider the Gelfand problem with rapidly growing nonlinearities in the two-dimensional bounded strictly convex domains. In this paper, we prove the uniformly boundedness of finite Morse index solutions. As a result, we show that there…
We develop a bifurcation theory for infinite dimensional systems satisfying abstract hypotheses that are tailored for applications to mean field coupled chaotic maps. Our abstract theory can be applied to many cases, from globally coupled…
We establish pointwise almost everywhere convergence for the polynomial multiple ergodic averages $$\frac{1}{N} \sum_{n=1}^N \La(n) f_1(T^{P_1(n)} x)\cdots f_k(T^{P_k(n)} x)$$ as $N\to \infty$, where $\La$ is the von Mangoldt function, $T…
Orbit portraits were introduced by Milnor as a combinatorial tool to describe the patterns of all periodic dynamical rays landing on a periodic cycle of a quadratic polynomial. This encodes information about the dynamics and the parameter…
