Let $(M,g)$ be a $n-$dimensional, compact Riemannian manifold. We define the frequency scale $\lambda$ of a function $f \in C^{0}(M)$ as the largest number such that $\left\langle f, \phi_k \right\rangle =0$ for all Laplacian eigenfunctions…

Let f be a germ of an analytic function at infinity that can be analytically continued along any path in the complex plane deprived of a finite set of points, f \in\mathcal{A}(\bar{\C} \setminus A), \sharp A <\infty. J. Nuttall has put…

Building upon previous works of Andr{\'e} and Chudnovsky, we prove a general result concerning the approximations of values at rational points a/b of any G-function F with rational Taylor coefficients by fractions of the form n/(B…

We demonstrate that solving the classical problems mentioned in the title on quadrature domains when the given boundary data is rational is as simple as the method of partial fractions. A by-product of our considerations will be a simple…

Let $a, Q\in\Q$ be given and consider the set $\cal{G}(a, Q)=\{aQ^{i}:\;i\in\N\}$ of terms of geometric progression with 0th term equal to $a$ and the quotient $Q$. Let $f\in\Q(x, y)$ and $\cal{V}_{f}$ be the set of finite values of $f$. We…

This article describes a sequence of rational functions which converges locally uniformly to the zeta function. The numerators (and denominators) of these rational functions can be expressed as characteristic polynomials of matrices that…

We give a geometric description of the parabolic bifurcation locus in the space $\operatorname{Rat}_d$ of all rational functions on $\mathbb{P}^1$ of degree $d>1$, generalizing the study by Morton and Vivaldi in the case of monic…

Let $d$ be a real number, let $s$ be in a fixed compact set of the strip $1/2<\sigma<1$, and let $L(s, \chi)$ be the Dirichlet $L$-function. The hypothesis is that for any real number $d$ there exist 'many' real numbers $\tau$ such that the…

For a cubic rational function with coefficients in a non-archimedean field $K$ whose residue characteristic is $0$ or greater than $3$, there are $2$ possibilities for the shape of its Berkovich ramification locus, considered as an…

We study polynomials with no zeros on the unit ball in complex Euclidean space with a view toward characterizing when a rational function is bounded on the ball. We give a complete local description of such polynomials in two variables near…

We introduce some new functions spaces to investigate some problems at or beyond endpoint. First, we prove that Bochner-Riesz means $B_R^\lambda$ are bounded from some subspaces of $L^p_{|x|^\alpha}$ to $L^p_{|x|^\alpha}$ for $…

Carath\'eodory functions, i.e. functions analytic in the open upper half-plane and with a positive real part there, play an important role in operator theory, $1D$ system theory and in the study of de Branges-Rovnyak spaces. The Herglotz…

We establish a general result on the existence of partially defined semiconjugacies between rational functions acting on the Riemann sphere. The semiconjugacies are defined on the complements to at most one-dimensional sets. They are…

Let $\bm p_0,...,\bm p_{m-1}$ be points in ${\mathbb R}^d$, and let $\{f_j\}_{j=0}^{m-1}$ be a one-parameter family of similitudes of ${\mathbb R}^d$: $$ f_j(\bm x) = \lambda\bm x + (1-\lambda)\bm p_j, j=0,...,m-1, $$ where…

We construct the moduli space, $M_d$, of degree $d$ rational maps on $\mathbb{P}^1$ in terms of invariants of binary forms. We apply this construction to give explicit invariants and equations for $M_3$. Using classical invariant theory, we…

Let X be a smooth complex projective surface. We prove that for any sufficiently big m there exists a rational dominant map f from X into a complex rational ruled surface Y, such that f is generically finite of degree m and has monodromy…

We give an upper bound for the number of rational points of height at most $B$, lying on a surface defined by a quadratic form $Q$. The bound shows an explicit dependence on $Q$. It is optimal with respect to $B$, and is also optimal for…

Given a quadratic polynomial with rational coefficients, we investigate the existence of consecutive squares in the orbit of a rational point under the iteration of the polynomial. We display three different constructions of $1$-parameter…

The formal system $\lambda\delta$ is a typed lambda calculus derived from $\Lambda_\infty$, aiming to support the foundations of Mathematics that require an underlying theory of expressions (for example the Minimal Type Theory). The system…
