Using dynamical methods we give a new proof of the theorem saying that if $A,B,X$ are rational functions of degree at least two such that $A\circ X=X\circ B$ and $\mathbb C(B,X)=\mathbb C(z)$, then the Galois closure of the field extension…

Using a geometric approach involving Riemann surface orbifolds, we provide lower bounds for the genus of an irreducible algebraic curve of the form $E_{A,B}:\, A(x)-B(y)=0$, where $A, B\in\mathbb C(z)$. We also investigate "series" of…

A class of rational functions characterized by some wonderful properties is studied. The properties that identify this class include simple algebra (their inverses can be expressed in radicals), simple topology (the total space of the…

Expanding upon recent work, a new class of $A$-functions is introduced that can be viewed as an appropriate generalization of the class of regular $A$-functions, the class of structured $A$-functions, and the class of perfect $A$-functions.…

We determine the absolute differential Galois group of the field $\mathbb{C}(x)$ of rational functions: It is the free proalgebraic group on a set of cardinality $|\mathbb{C}|$. This solves a longstanding open problem posed by B.H. Matzat.…

Given a family of continuous real functions $\mathcal{G}$, let $R_\mathcal{G}$ be a binary relation defined as follows: a continuous function $f\colon\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ is in the relation with a closed set $E\subseteq\mathbb{R}$ if…

We show that every linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero is the differential Galois group of a regular singular linear differential equation with rational function coefficients.

In this paper we focus on functions of the form $A^n\rightarrow \mathcal{P}(B)$, for possibly different arbitrary non-empty sets $A$ and $B$, and where $\mathcal{P}(B)$ denotes the set of all subsets of $B$. These mappings are called…

We introduce a class of rational functions $A:\,\mathbb C\mathbb P^1\rightarrow \mathbb C\mathbb P^1$ which can be considered as a natural extension of the class of Latt\`es maps and establish basic properties of functions from this class.

We classify all cubic function fields over any finite field, particularly developing a complete Galois theory which includes those cases when the constant field is missing certain roots of unity. In doing so, we find criteria which allow…

Suppose that $h$ and $g$ belong to the algebra $\B$ generated by the rational functions and an entire function $f$ of finite order on ${\Bbb C}^n$ and that $h/g$ has algebraic polar variety. We show that either $h/g\in\B$ or $f=q_1e^p+q_2$,…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. An element F from k(x_1,...,x_n) is called a closed rational function if the subfield k(F) is algebraically closed in the field k(x_1,...,x_n). We prove that a rational function…

Using essentially only algebra, we give a proof that a cubic rational function over $\mathbb{C}$ with real critical points is equivalent to a real rational function. We also show that the natural generalization to $\mathbb{Q}_p$ fails for…

We show that the zero locus of a normal function on a smooth complex algebraic variety S is algebraic provided that the normal function extends to a admissible normal function on a smooth compactification of S with torsion singularity. This…

Let $X$ be a smooth proper curve over a finite field and let $\infty \in X$ be a closed point. Let $A$ be the ring of functions on $X - \infty$. The Goss zeta function $\zeta_A$ of $A$ is an equicharacteristic analogue of the Riemann zeta…

We show that the zero locus of an admissible normal function on a smooth complex algebraic variety is algebraic.

Let $\Re_n$ be the set of all rational functions of the type $r(z) = p(z)/w(z),$ where $p(z)$ is a polynomial of degree at most $n$ and $w(z) = \prod_{j=1}^{n}(z-a_j)$, $|a_j|>1$ for $1\leq j\leq n$. In this paper, we set up some results…

Let $X$ and $Y$ be rational functions of degree at least two with complex coefficients such that $\mathbb{C}(X,Y)=\mathbb{C}(z)$. We study the problem of determining when the field extension $[\mathbb{C}(z):\mathbb{C}(X)\cap\mathbb{C}(Y)]$…

We give a description of pairs of complex rational functions $A$ and $U$ of degree at least two such that for every $d\geq 1$ the algebraic curve $A^{\circ d}(x)-U(y)=0$ has a factor of genus zero or one. In particular, we show that if $A$…

In this note we give some sufficient conditions for an analytic function $f(z)$ normalized by $f'(0)=1$ to belong to certain subfamilies of the class of Bazilevic functions. In earlier works, the closure property of many classes of…
