Let $K$ be a number field, and $\varphi_{1},\ldots,\varphi_{g}\in K(t)$ be finitely many rational maps, each of degree at least $2$. We first show that for generic finite sets $\mathcal{A}_{1},\ldots,\mathcal{A}_{g}$ consisting entirely of…

Given a number field $K$ and a finite set $S$ of places of $K$, the first main result of this paper shows that the quadratic rational maps $\phi:{\mathbb P}^1\to{\mathbb P}^1$ defined over $K$ which have good reduction at all places outside…

Let $K$ be a finite extension of the field $\mathbb{Q}_p$ of $p$-adic numbers, and $\phi\in K(z)$ be a rational map of degree at least $2$. We prove that the $K$-Julia set of $\phi$ is the natural restriction of $\mathbb{C}_p$-Julia set,…

It is an open problem whether repelling periodic points are dense in the classical Julia set of a non-archimedean rational function of degree more than one. We give a partial positive answer to this question based on a study of a…

Let phi: P^1 --> P^1 be a rational map defined over a field K. We construct the moduli space M_d(N) parameterizing conjugacy classes of degree-d maps with a point of formal period N and present an algebraic proof that M_2(N) is…

Let $K$ be a number field, let $\phi \in K(t)$ be a rational map of degree at least 2, and let $\alpha, \beta \in K$. We show that if $\alpha$ is not in the forward orbit of $\beta$, then there is a positive proportion of primes ${\mathfrak…

We show that the space of expanding maps contains an open and dense set where smooth conjugacy classes of expanding maps are determined by the values of the Jacobians of return maps at periodic points.

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 consider accumulation of periodic points in local uniformly quasiregular dynamics. Given a local uniformly quasiregular mapping $f$ with a countable and closed set of isolated essential singularities and their accumulation points on a…

We continue the study of constructing invariant Laplacians on Julia sets, and studying properties of their spectra. In this paper we focus on two types of examples: 1) Julia sets of cubic polynomials $z^3 + c$ with a single critical point;…

This continues the investigation of a combinatorial model for the variation of dynamics in the family of rational maps of degree two, by concentrating on those varieties in which one critical point is periodic. We prove some general results…

K3 surfaces with non-symplectic involution are classified by open sets of seventy-five arithmetic quotients of type IV. We prove that those moduli spaces are rational except two classical cases.

In complex dynamics, a fundamental result of Fatou and Julia asserts that every attracting cycle of a rational map attracts a critical point. The analogous statement fails in non-Archimedean dynamics. For a non-Archimedean rational map,…

Let $f:\hat{C}\to\hat{C}$ be a subhyperbolic rational map of degree $d$. We construct a set of coding maps $Cod(f)=\{\pi_r:\Sigma\to J\}_r$ of the Julia set $J$ by geometric coding trees, where the parameter $r$ ranges over mappings from a…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 that is complete with respect to a non-archimedean absolute value. We establish a locally uniform approximation formula of the Lyapunov exponent of a rational map $f$ of…

Given a rational map of the Riemann sphere and a subset $A$ of its Julia set, we study the $A$-exceptional set, that is, the set of points whose orbit does not accumulate at $A$. We prove that if the topological entropy of $A$ is less than…

A rational map $\phi: \mathbb{P}^1 \to \mathbb{P}^1$ along with an ordered list of fixed and critical points is called a totally marked rational map. The space of totally marked degree two rational maps, $Rat^{tm}_2$ can be parametrized by…

Let $K$ be a complete non-archimedean field of characteristic $0$ equipped with a discrete valuation. We establish the rationality of the Artin-Mazur zeta function on the Julia set for any subhyperbolic rational map defined over $K$ with a…

We study the dynamics of polynomials with coefficients in a non-Archimedean field $K,$ where $K$ is a field containing a dense subset of algebraic elements over a discrete valued field $k.$ We prove that every wandering Fatou component is…

According to the Thurston No Wandering Triangle Theorem, a branching point in a locally connected quadratic Julia set is either preperiodic or precritical. Blokh and Oversteegen proved that this theorem does not hold for higher degree Julia…
