We prove that the Julia set of a Henon type automorphism on C^2 is very rigid: it supports a unique positive ddc-closed current of mass 1. A similar property holds for the cohomology class of the Green current associated with an…
In [FJ07], Favre and Jonsson developed tools from valuative theory to study the dynamics of a dominant endomorphism of the complex affine plane. We extend this theory to the case of any affine surface, over any field. We give a new method…
The possibility of realization of the phenomena of complex analytic dynamics for the realistic physical models are investigated. Observation of the Mandelbrot and Julia sets in the parameter and phase spaces both for the discrete maps and…
Let $R$ be a rational function with degree $\geq 2$ and $X$ be its Julia set, its Fatou set, or the Riemann sphere. Suppose that $X$ is not empty. We can regard $R$ as a continuous map from $X$ onto itself. Kajiwara and Watatani showed that…
We describe a circle of ideas relating the dynamics of 2-dimensional homeomorphisms to that of 1-dimensional endomorphisms. This is used to introduce a new class of maps generalizing that of Thurston's pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms.
The behavior of orbits for iterated logistic maps has been widely studied since the dawn of discrete dynamics as a research field, in particular in the context of the complex quadratic family. However, little is is known about orbit…
We construct a $C^2$ symplectic twist map f of the annulus that has an essential invariant curve C such that: - C is not differentiable; - the dynamics of f restricted to C is conjugated to the one of a Denjoy counter-example; - C is at the…
This paper is a survey, with few proofs, of ideas and notions related to self-similarity of groups, semi-groups and their actions. It attempts to relate these concepts to more familiar ones, such as fractals, self-similar sets, and…
Given a compact space X and two commuting continuous open surjective maps sigma_1, sigma_2 : X --> X, we construct certain C*-algebras that reflect the dynamics of the N^2-action. When the maps sigma_1, sigma_2 are local homeomorphisms,…
We argue that discrete dynamics has natural links to the theory of analytic functions. Most important, bifurcations and chaotic dynamical properties are related to intersections of algebraic varieties. This paves the way to identification…
The dynamical properties, especially the symmetric orbits, of the 2-parameter family of circle maps called off-center reflection is studied.
There exist uniformly quasiregular maps $f:\mathbb{R}^3 \to \mathbb{R}^3$ whose Julia sets are wild Cantor sets.
Structural stability of holomorphic functions has been the subject of much research in the last fifty years. Due to various technicalities, however, most of that work has focused on so-called finite-type functions (functions whose set of…
Laminations are a combinatorial and topological way to study Julia sets. Laminations give information about the structure of parameter space of degree $d$ polynomials with connected Julia sets. We first study fixed point portraits in…
Analogy between an approximate version of Feigenbaum renormalization group analysis in complex domain and the phase transition theory of Yang-Lee (based on consideration of formally complexified thermodynamic values) is discussed. It is…
It is shown that the boundary of the Mandelbrot set $M$ has Hausdorff dimension two and that for a generic $c \in \bM$, the Julia set of $z \mapsto z^2+c$ also has Hausdorff dimension two. The proof is based on the study of the bifurcation…
In this paper we study the dynamics of regular polynomial automorphisms of C^n. These maps provide a natural generalization of complex Henon maps in C^2 to higher dimensions. For a given regular polynomial automorphism f we construct a…
Let $X$ be a complex surface and $Y$ be an elliptic curve embedded in $X$. Assume that there exists a non-singular holomorphic foliation $\mathcal{F}$ with $Y$ as a compact leaf, defined on a neighborhood of $Y$ in $X$. We investigate the…
A closed interval and circle are the only smooth Julia sets in polynomial dynamics. D. Ruelle proved that the Hausdorff dimension of unicritical Julia sets close to the circle depends analytically on the parameter. Near the tip of the…
We study the dynamics of polynomial maps on the boundary of the central hyperbolic component $\mathcal H_d$. We prove the local connectivity of Julia sets and a rigidity theorem for maps on the regular part of $\partial\mathcal H_d$. Our…
