Periodic orbits (equivalence classes of closed paths up to cyclic shifts) play an important role in applications of graph theory. For example, they appear in the definition of the Ihara zeta function and exact trace formulae for the spectra…

Let $K$ be a number field, and $\varphi_{1},\ldots,\varphi_{g}\in K(t)$ be finitely many rational maps, each of degree at least $2$. We first show that for generic finite sets $\mathcal{A}_{1},\ldots,\mathcal{A}_{g}$ consisting entirely of…

We prove that the orbit of a non-periodic point at prime values of the horocycle flow in the modular surface is dense in a set of positive measure. For some special orbits we also prove that they are dense in the whole space (assuming the…

We study rational self-maps of $\mathbb{P}^{1}$ whose critical points all have finite forward orbit. Thurston's rigidity theorem states that outside a single well-understood family, there are finitely many such maps over $\mathbb{C}$ of…

Let $f: S^2 \to S^2$ be an expanding branched covering map of the sphere to itself with finite postcritical set $P_f$. Associated to $f$ is a canonical quasisymmetry class $\GGG(f)$ of Ahlfors regular metrics on the sphere in which the…

If a self-map $\sigma \colon \mathcal{X} \rightarrow \mathcal{X}$ has a dynamical zeta function with nonzero radius of convergence $1/\Lambda$ and the Ces\`aro mean $B$ of $ \# \mathrm{Fix}(\sigma^k)/\Lambda^k$ exists and is positive, we…

We formulate a strengthening of the Zariski dense orbit conjecture for birational maps of dynamical degree one. So, given a quasiprojective variety $X$ defined over an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic $0$, endowed with a…

Let $M$ be a 2-disk or a cylinder, and $f$ be a smooth function on $M$ with constant values at $\partial M$, devoid of critical points in $\partial M$, and exhibiting a property wherein for every critical point $z$ of $f$ there is a local…

Let f : X --> X be a dominant rational map of a projective variety defined over a number field. An important geometric-dynamical invariant of f is its (first) dynamical degree d_f= lim SpecRadius((f^n)^*)^{1/n}. For algebraic points P of X…

Let f: P^1 \to P^1 be a rational map with finite postcritical set P_f. Thurston showed that f induces a holomorphic map \sigma_f of the Teichmueller space T modelled on P_f to itself fixing the basepoint corresponding to the identity map…

Let $f:M\to M$ be a $C^{1+\epsilon}$-map on a smooth Riemannian manifold $M$ and let $\Lambda\subset M$ be a compact $f$-invariant locally maximal set. In this paper we obtain several results concerning the distribution of the periodic…

Every Thurston map $f\colon S^2\rightarrow S^2$ on a $2$-sphere $S^2$ induces a pull-back operation on Jordan curves $\alpha\subset S^2\setminus P_f$, where $P_f$ is the postcritical set of $f$. Here the isotopy class $[f^{-1}(\alpha)]$…

In connection with the Entropy Conjecture it is known that the topological entropy of a continuous graph map is bounded from below by the spectral radius of the induced map on the first homology group. We show that in the case of a…
