We present simple examples of rational maps of the complex projective plane with equal first and second dynamical degrees and no invariant foliation.

In this note we study common preperiodic points of rational maps of the Riemann Sphere. We show that given any degrees $d_1,d_2\geq2$, outside a Zariski closed subset of the space of pairs of rational maps $(f,g)$ of degree $d_1$ and $d_2$…

A `symbolic dynamical system' is a continuous transformation F:X-->X of a closed perfect subset X of A^V, where A is a finite set and V is countable. (Examples include subshifts, odometers, cellular automata, and automaton networks.) The…

Let X be an affine irreducible variety over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic zero. Given an automorphism F, we denote by k(X)^F its field of invariants, i.e. the set of rational functions f on X such that f(F)=f. Let n(F)…

Let K be a function field, let f be a rational function of degree d at least 2 defined over K, and suppose that f is not isotrivial. In this paper, we show that a point P in P^1(Kbar) has f-canonical height zero if and only if P is…

A dynamically affine map is a finite quotient of an affine morphism of an algebraic group. We determine the rationality or transcendence of the Artin-Mazur zeta function of a dynamically affine self-map of $\mathbb{P}^1(k)$ for $k$ an…

Let $n\geq 2$, and let $f$ be a polynomial of degree at least 2 with coefficients in a number field or a characteristic 0 function field $K$. We present two arithmetic applications of a recent theorem of Medvedev-Scanlon to the dynamics of…

We investigate from a statistical perspective the arithmetic properties of the dynamics of polynomials of fixed degree and defined over the field of rational numbers. To start with, ordering their affine conjugacy classes by height, we show…

We give a formula with explicit error term for the number of $K$-rational points $P$ satisfying $H(f(P)) \le X$ as $X \to \infty$, where $f$ is a nonconstant morphism between projective spaces defined over a number field $K$ and $H$ is the…

Let $\phi:X\dashrightarrow X$ be a dominant rational map of a smooth variety and let $x\in X$, all defined over $\bar{\mathbb Q}$. The dynamical degree $\delta(\phi)$ measures the geometric complexity of the iterates of $\phi$, and the…

Rational maps on the Riemann sphere occupy a distinguished niche in the general theory of smooth dynamical systems. First, rational maps are complex-analytic, so a broad spectrum of techniques can contribute to their study (quasiconformal…

Let $X$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold and let $f:X\rightarrow X$ be a dominant rational map which is 1-stable. Let $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ be the first and second dynamical degrees of $f$. If $\lambda_1^2>\lambda_2$, then we show that…

Let $X$ be an algebraic variety equipped with a dominant rational self-map $\phi:X\to X$. A new quantity measuring the interaction of $(X,\phi)$ with trivial dynamical systems is introduced; the stabilised algebraic dimension of $(X,\phi)$…

For polynomials and rational maps of fixed degree over a finite field, we bound both the average number of connected components of their functional graphs as well as the average number of periodic points of their associated dynamical…

In recent work on holomorphic maps that are symmetric under certain complex reflection groups---generated by complex reflections through a set of hyperplanes, the author announced a general conjecture related to reflection groups. The claim…

The study of subshifts on groups different from $\mathbb{Z}$, such as $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d\geq 2$, has been a subject of intense research in recent years. These investigations have unveiled aremarkable connection between dynamics and…

Self-maps everywhere defined on the projective space $\P^N$ over a number field or a function field are the basic objects of study in the arithmetic of dynamical systems. One reason is a theorem of Fakkruddin \cite{Fakhruddin} (with…

1973 Schinzel proved that the standard logarithmic height h on the maximal totally real field extension of the rationals is either zero or bounded from below by a positive constant. In this paper we study this property for canonical heights…
