To directed graphs with unique sink and source we associate a noncommutative associative alsgebra and a polynomial over this algebra. Edges of the graph correspond to pseudo-roots of the polynomial. We give a sufficient condition when…
We consider the rational linear relations between real numbers whose squared trigonometric functions have rational values, angles we call ``geodetic''. We construct a convenient basis for the vector space over Q generated by these angles.…
Using Chebyshev polynomialsof both kinds, we construct rational fractions which are convergents of the smallest root of $x^2-\alpha x+1$ for $\alpha=3,4,5,\dots$.Some of the underlying identities suggest an identity involving…

We construct new examples of rational Gushel-Mukai fourfolds, giving more evidence for the analog of the Kuznetsov Conjecture for cubic fourfolds: a Gushel--Mukai fourfold is rational if and only if it admits an associated K3 surface.
This is the second article in a suite of articles investigating relations between St\"{a}ckel-type systems and Painlev\'{e}-type systems. In this article we construct isomonodromic Lax representations for Painlev\'{e}-type systems found in…
We prove a special case of a dynamical analogue of the classical Mordell-Lang conjecture. In particular, let $\phi$ be a rational function with no superattracting periodic points other than exceptional points. If the coefficients of $\phi$…

It is demonstrated that a certain integral equation can be solved using the Painleve equation of third kind. Inversely, a special solution of this Painleve equation can be expressed as the ratio of two infinite series of spheroidal…
