We compute a Simons' type formula for the stress-energy tensor of biharmonic maps from surfaces. Specializing to Riemannian immersions, we prove several rigidity results for biharmonic CMC surfaces, putting in evidence the influence of the…

We establish a couple of dynamical properties of surjective rational maps $f: X \dashrightarrow X$ for smooth projective surfaces $X$. We also give a numerical characterization of regular $f$ in the case when $X$ is a del Pezzo surface.…

In this paper we consider function $f(x)={x+a\over bx+c}$, (where $b\ne 0$, $c\ne ab$, $x\ne -{c\over b}$) on three fields: the set of real, $p$-adic and complex numbers. We study dynamical systems generated by this function on each field…

We consider the notion of mixed multiplicities for multigraded modules by using Hilbert series, and this is later applied to study the projective degrees of rational maps. We use a general framework to determine the projective degrees of a…

In previous works, G. Tomassini and the authors studied and classified complex surfaces admitting a real-analytic pluri-subharmonic exhaustion function; let $X$ be such a surface and $D\subseteq X$ a domain admitting a \emph{continuous}…

In this note we give an overview of various quantities that are used to measure the complexity of an algebraic dynamical system f:X-->X, including the dynamical degree d(f), which gives a coarse measure of the geometric complexity of the…

Let $K$ be a global function field of characteristic $p$ and degree $D$ over $\mathbb F_{p}(t)$. We consider dynamical systems over the projective line $\mathbb P^1(K)$ defined by rational maps with at most one prime of bad reduction. The…

We construct an example of a birational transformation of a rational threefold for which the first and second dynamical degrees coincide and are $>1$, but which does not preserve any holomorphic (singular) foliation. In particular, this…

We prove that for Noetherian, smooth, separated, integral, finite type schemes $X$ and $Y$ over an excellent Dedekind domain $R$, that are properly birational over $R$, we have $R^if_{*}\mathcal{O}_X \cong R^ig_{*} \mathcal{O}_Y$ and $R^i…

We first state a condition ensuring that having a birational map onto the image is an open property for families of irreducible normal non uniruled varieties. We give then some criteria to ensure general birationality for a family of…

We prove that the degrees of the iterates ${\rm deg}(f^n)$ of a birational map satisfy $\liminf({\rm deg}(f^n))<+\infty$ if and only if the sequence ${\rm deg}(f^n)$ is bounded, and that the growth of ${\rm deg}(f^n)$ can not be arbitrarily…

Relations between points in the phase space are central to the study of topological dynamical systems. Since many of these relations share common properties, it is natural to study them within a unified framework. To this end, we introduce…

We consider mixtures of two species of spherical colloidal particles that differ in their hydrodynamic radii, but are otherwise identical, in the presence of an external field. Since the particle-particle and particle-field interactions are…

We give an algebro-geometric classification of smooth real affine algebraic surfaces endowed with an effective action of the real algebraic circle group $\mathbb{S}^1$ up to equivariant isomorphisms. As an application, we show that every…

We consider a multi-dimensional billiard system in an (n+1)-dimensional Euclidean space, the direct product of the "horizontal" hyperplane and the "vertical" line. The hypersurface that determines the system is assumed to be smooth and…

We classify the group of birational automorphisms of Hilbert schemes of points on algebraic K3 surfaces of Picard rank one. We study whether these automorphisms are symplectic or non-symplectic and if there exists a hyperk\"ahler birational…

We provide combinatorial/topological formula for the multiplicity of a complex analytic normal surface singularity whenever the analytic structure on the fixed topological type is generic.

We report here how the hydration of complex surfaces can be efficiently studied thanks to recent advances in classical molecular density functional theory. This is illustrated on the example of the pyrophylite clay. After presenting the…

This paper is a continuation of our previous works where we study maps from $X_0(N)$, $N \ge 1$, into $\mathbb P^2$ constructed via modular forms of the same weight and criteria that such a map is birational (see [12]). In the present paper…

In this paper we initiate the study of the arithmetical properties of a set numbers which encode the dynamics of unimodal maps in a universal way along with that of the corresponding topological zeta function. Here we are concerned in…
