We prove: If $f(z)$ is a critically finite rational map which has exactly two critical points and which is not conjugate to a polynomial, then the boundary of every Fatou component of $f$ is a Jordan curve. If $f(z)$ is a hyperbolic…
We present a natural extension of the notion of nondegenerate rational maps (quadrirational maps) to arbitrary dimensions. We refer to these maps as $2^n-$rational maps. In this note we construct a rich family of $2^n-$rational maps. These…
We study the dynamics of post-critically finite endomorphisms of P^k(C). We prove that post-critically finite endomorphisms are always post-critically finite all the way down under a mild regularity condition on the post-critical set. We…
In holomorphic dynamics, complex box mappings arise as first return maps to well-chosen domains. They are a generalization of polynomial-like mapping, where the domain of the return map can have infinitely many components. They turned out…
We demonstrate that the question whether or not a given postcritically finite topological ramified covering map of the 2-sphere is Thurston equivalent to a rational map is algorithmically decidable.
Douady and Hubbard introduced the operation of mating of polynomials. This identifies two filled Julia sets and the dynamics on them via external rays. In many cases one obtains a rational map. Here the opposite question is tackled. Namely…
We investigate rational maps with period one and two cluster cycles. Given the definition of a cluster, we show that, in the case where the degree is $d$ and the cluster is fixed, the Thurston class of a rational map is fixed by the…
Let f: P^1 \to P^1 be a rational map with finite postcritical set P_f. Thurston showed that f induces a holomorphic map \sigma_f of the Teichmueller space T modelled on P_f to itself fixing the basepoint corresponding to the identity map…
Special exotic class of dynamical systems~ -- the implicit maps~ -- is considered. Such maps, particularly, can appear as a result of using of implicit and semi-implicit iterative numerical methods. In the present work we propose the…
Determining the range of complex maps plays a fundamental role in the study of several complex variables and operator theory. In particular, one is often interested in determining when a given holomorphic function is a self-map of the unit…
This note will describe an effective procedure for constructing critically finite real polynomial maps with specified combinatorics.
This work deals with the notion of Newton complementary duality as raised originally in the work of the second author and B. Costa. A conceptual revision of the main steps of the notion is accomplished which then leads to a vast…
Poincare's classification of the dynamics of homeomorphisms of the circle is one of the earliest, but still one of the most elegant, classification results in dynamical systems. Here we generalize this to quasiperiodically forced circle…
We obtain a unique, canonical one-to-one correspondence between the space of marked postcritically finite Newton maps of polynomials and the space of postcritically minimal Newton maps of entire maps that take the form $p(z)…
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…
The dominant rational maps of finite degree from a fixed variety to varieties of general type, up to birational isomorphisms, form a finite set. This has been known as the Iitaka-Severi conjecture, and is nowdays an established result, in…
The most general evolution of the density matrix of a quantum system with a finite-dimensional state space is by stochastic maps which take a density matrix linearly into the set of density matrices. These dynamical stochastic maps form a…
We consider the homotopical dynamics on compact orientable surfaces of positive genus g. We establish a sufficient and necessary algebraic criterion for homotopy classes with infinitely many periodic points of maps on such surfaces in terms…
The dynamical degrees of a rational map $f:X\dashrightarrow X$ are fundamental invariants describing the rate of growth of the action of iterates of $f$ on the cohomology of $X$. When $f$ has nonempty indeterminacy set, these quantities can…
We study the dynamics of Thurston maps under iteration. These are branched covering maps $f$ of 2-spheres $S^2$ with a finite set $\mathop{post}(f)$ of postcritical points. We also assume that the maps are expanding in a suitable sense.…
