We establish a pointwise convergence result for ergodic averages modeled along orbits of the form $(n\lfloor n\sqrt{k}\rfloor)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$, where $k$ is an arbitrary positive rational number with $\sqrt{k}\not\in\mathbb{Q}$. Namely,…

Let $K$ be a number field and $S$ a finite set of places of $K$ containing all archimedean places. In this paper, we show that the second moment of the number of $S$-integral points on elliptic curves over $K$ is bounded. In particular, we…

In this follow-up paper, we again inspect a surprising relationship between the set of fixed points of a polynomial map $\varphi_{d, c}$ defined by $\varphi_{d, c}(z) = z^d + c$ for all $c, z \in \mathcal{O}_{K}$ or $\in \mathbb{Z}_{p}$ or…

Given $n\in\mathbb{N}$ any point on the closed unit disk $\overline{\mathbb{D}}$ can be written as the average of $n$ points on the unit circle $\mathbb{S}^1$. Here we discuss a non-commutative version of this result. We prove that for any…

Let $K$ be a finitely generated field of characteristic zero. We study, for fixed $m \geq 2$, the rational functions $\phi$ defined over $K$ that have a $K$-orbit containing infinitely many distinct $m$th powers. For $m \geq 5$ we show the…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic zero, let $A_1=K[x][\partial ]$ be the first Weyl algebra. In this paper we prove the following two results. Assume there exists a non-zero polynomial $f(X,Y)\in K[X,Y]$, which has a non-trivial solution…

We generalise the Siegel-Voloch theorem about S-integral points on elliptic curves as follows: let K/F denote a global function field over a finite field F of characteristic p>3, let S denote a finite set of places of K and let E/K denote a…

It is shown that there exists a normal uniform algebra, on a compact metrizable space, that fails to be strongly regular at some peak point. This answers a 31-year-old question of Joel Feinstein. Our example is R(K) for a certain compact…

Let P^n denote the n-dimensional projective space defined over the algebraic closure of a finite field F_q, let V contained P^n be a complete intersection defined over F_q of dimension r and singular locus of dimension at most s, and let…

In this first article of a multi-part series, we inspect a surprising relationship between the set of fixed points of a polynomial map $\varphi_{d, c}$ defined by $\varphi_{d, c}(z) = z^d + c$ for all $c, z \in \mathbb{Z}$ and the…

We prove several results on backward orbits of rational functions over number fields. First, we show that if $K$ is a number field, $\phi\in K(x)$ and $\alpha\in K$ then the extension of $K$ generated by the abelian points in the backward…

Given a rational map $\phi: {\mathbb P}^1\to {\mathbb P}^1$ defined over a number field $K$, we prove a finiteness result for $\phi$-preperiodic points which are $S$-integral with respect to a non-preperiodic point $P$, provided $P$…

Working over a base number field $\KK$, we study the attractive question of Zariski non-density for $(D,S)$-integral points in $\mathrm{O}_f(x)$ the forward $f$-orbit of a rational point $x \in X(\KK)$. Here, $f \colon X \rightarrow X$ is a…

The relationship between geometric and variational principles remains central to Nonlinear Analysis. This paper introduces the \textbf{Orbit-Summability Fixed Point Criterion}, a novel, purely dynamical condition, and establishes its…

We study the arithmetic of Galois-invariant sets of points on algebraic curves with controlled reduction behavior. Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve with a smooth proper model $\mathcal{C}$ over $\mathcal{O}_{K,S}$. We define $\Omega_n$…

We prove the existence of an effective universal upper bound for the order of any integral periodic orbit of any integral algebraic dynamical system in a fixed ambient space. Using this, we demonstrate the decidability of periodicity in…

In this paper, we study the distribution of integral points on parametric families of affine homogeneous varieties. By the work of Borel and Harish-Chandra, the set of integral points on each such variety consists of finitely many orbits of…

We prove that, when elliptic curves $E/\mathbb{Q}$ are ordered by height, the average number of integral points $\#|E(\mathbb{Z})|$ is bounded, and in fact is less than $66$ (and at most $\frac{8}{9}$ on the minimalist conjecture). By…

Let $\mathbf{K}$ be a field and $\phi$, $\mathbf{f} = (f_1, \ldots, f_s)$ in $\mathbf{K}[x_1, \dots, x_n]$ be multivariate polynomials (with $s < n$) invariant under the action of $\mathcal{S}_n$, the group of permutations of $\{1, \dots,…

Let $K$ be a number field with ring of integers $\mathcal O_{K}$. We prove that if $3$ does not divide $ [K:\mathbb Q]$ and $3$ splits completely in $K$, then the unit equation has no solutions in $K$. In other words, there are no $x, y \in…
