The escaping set I(f) of a transcendental meromorphic function f consists of all points which tend to infinity under iteration. The Eremenko-Lyubich class B consists of all transcendental meromorphic functions for which the set of finite…
We partition the fast escaping set of a transcendental entire function into two subsets, the maximally fast escaping set and the non-maximally fast escaping set. These sets are shown to have strong dynamical properties. We show that the…
In this paper we survey the history of, and recent developments on, two major conjectures originating in Zilber's model-theoretic work on complex exponentiation -- Existential Closedness and Zilber-Pink. The main focus is on the modular…
We consider the iteration of quasiregular maps of transcendental type from $\mathbb{R}^d$ to $\mathbb{R}^d$. We give a bound on the rate at which the iterates of such a map can escape to infinity in a periodic component of the quasi-Fatou…
Let f be an entire function with a bounded set of singular values, and suppose furthermore that the postsingular set of f is bounded. We show that every component of the escaping set I(f) is unbounded. This provides a partial answer to a…
We show that for many complex parameters a, the set of points that converge to infinity under iteration of the exponential map f(z)=e^z+a is connected. This includes all parameters for which the singular value escapes to infinity under…
We develop techniques that lay out a basis for generalizations of the famous Thurston's Topological Characterization of Rational Functions for an infinite set of marked points and branched coverings of infinite degree. Analogously to the…
We show that if the maximum modulus of a quasiregular mapping f grows sufficiently rapidly then there exists a non-empty escaping set I(f) consisting of points whose forward orbits under iteration tend to infinity. This set I(f) has an…
The study of the dynamics of polynomials is now a major field of research, with many important and elegant results. The study of entire functions that are not polynomials -- in other words transcendental entire functions -- is somewhat less…
Baker's conjecture states that a transcendental entire function of order less than $1/2$ has no unbounded Fatou components. It is known that, for such functions, there are no unbounded periodic Fatou components and so it remains to show…
We investigate dynamics of activated escape in periodically modulated systems. The trajectories followed in escape form diffusion broadened tubes, which are periodically repeated in time. We show that these tubes can be directly observed…
We apply periodic orbit theory to study the asymptotic distribution of escape times from an intermittent map. The dynamical zeta function exhibits a branch point which is associated with an asymptotic power law escape. By an analytic…
We consider the dynamics of transcendental self-maps of the punctured plane, $\mathbb{C}^*=\mathbb{C}\setminus \{0\}$. We prove that the escaping set $I(f)$ is either connected, or has infinitely many components. We also show that $I(f)\cup…
We study the iteration of transcendental self-maps of $\mathbb{C}^*:=\mathbb{C}\setminus \{0\}$, that is, holomorphic functions $f:\mathbb{C}^*\to\mathbb{C}^*$ for which both zero and infinity are essential singularities. We use…
This article studies the singular values of entire functions of the form $E^k (z)+P(z)$ where $E^k$ denotes the $k-$times composition of $e^z$ with itself and $P$ is any non-constant polynomial. It is proved that the full preimage of each…
We investigate the scaling of the escape rate from piecewise-linear dynamical systems displaying intermittency due to the presence of an indifferent fixed-point. Strong intermittent behaviour in the dynamics can result in the system…
For a transcendental entire function $f$ of finite order in the Eremenko-Lyubich class $\mathcal{B}$, we give conditions under which the Lebesgue measure of the escaping set $\mathcal{I}(f)$ of $f$ is zero. This is inspired by the recent…
In this paper we study ergodic theory of countable Markov shifts. These are dynamical systems defined over non-compact spaces. Our main result relates the escape of mass, the measure theoretic entropy, and the entropy at infinity of the…
We determine the exact Borel class of the points whose iterates under $\exp(z)+a$ tend to infinity. We also prove that the sets of non-escaping Julia points for many of these functions are topologically equivalent.
We show that the points that converge to infinity under iteration of the exponential map form a connected subset of the complex plane.
