We first establish any continuum without interiors can be a limit set of iterations of an entire function on an oscillating wandering domain, and hence arise as a component of Julia sets. Recently, Luka Boc Thaler showed that every bounded…

We study the family of singular perturbations of Blaschke products $B_{a,\lambda}(z)=z^3\frac{z-a}{1-\overline{a}z}+\frac{\lambda}{z^2}$. We analyse how the connectivity of the Fatou components varies as we move continuously the parameter…

Let $g$ be a polynomial automorphism of $\C^2$. We study the Hausdorff dimension and topological dimension of the Julia set of $g$. We show that when $g$ is a hyperbolic mapping, then the Hausdorff dimension of the Julia set is strictly…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions, in the form of matrix identities, for a polynomial f in C[X,Y] to be a component of a polynomial automorphism of C^2 and to be a component of a Keller polynomial mapping of C^2, respectively…

We confirm a conjecture of Friedland and Milnor: if two polynomial automorphisms f and g in Aut(C^2) with dynamical degree >1 are conjugate by some holomorphic diffeomorphism \phi of C^2, then \phi is a polynomial automorphism; thus, f and…

In my 1993 paper, "Pappus's Theorem and the Modular Group", I explained how the iteration of Pappus's Theorem gives rise to a $2$-parameter family of representations of the modular group into the group of projective automorphisms. In this…

In complex dynamics, the boundaries of higher dimensional hyperbolic components in holomorphic families of polynomials or rational maps are mysterious objects, whose topological and analytic properties are fundamental problems. In this…

Given a fixed-point free compact holomorphic self-map $f$ on a bounded symmetric domain $D$, which may be infinite dimensional, we establish the existence of a family $\{H(\xi, \lambda)\}_{\lambda >0}$ of convex $f$-invariant domains at a…

This paper focuses on the derivations and automorphism groups of certain finite-dimensional associative algebras over the field of complex numbers. Using classification results for algebras of dimensions two, three, and four, along with…

Let K be a non-archimedean field with residue field k, and suppose that k is not an algebraic extension of a finite field. We prove two results concerning wandering domains of rational functions f in K(z) and Rivera-Letelier's notion of…

We prove that a holomorphic fixed point germ in two complex variables, tangent to the identity, and whose only characteristic direction is non-degenerate, has a domain of attraction on which the map is conjugate to a translation. In the…

We consider the graph whose vertex set is a conjugacy class ${\mathcal C}$ consisting of finite-rank self-adjoint operators on a complex Hilbert space $H$. The dimension of $H$ is assumed to be not less than $3$. In the case when operators…

We investigate the discontinuity of codings for the Julia set of a quadratic map. To each parameter ray, we associate a natural coding for Julia sets on the ray. Given a hyperbolic component $H$ of the Mandelbrot set, we consider the…

We study the displacement map associated to small one-parameter polynomial unfoldings of polynomial Hamiltonian vector fields on the plane. Its leading term, the generating function $M(t)$, has an analytic continuation in the complex plane…

If $H$ is a numerical semigroup (that is, a cofinite subset of the non-negative integers closed under addition), then the non-empty subsets of $H$ form a semigroup $\mathcal P(H)$ under the sumset operation induced by addition in $H$.…

The two-dimensional Jacobian Conjecture says that a $\mathbb{C}$-algebra endomorphism $F:\mathbb{C}[x,y] \to \mathbb{C}[x,y]$ that has an invertible Jacobian is an automorphism. We show that if a $\mathbb{C}$-algebra endomorphism…

In this paper, we consider a one-parameter family of degree $d\ge 2$ rational maps with an automorphism group containing the cyclic group of order $d$. We construct a polynomial whose roots correspond to parameter values for which the…

We are concerned with polynomial involutions in characteristic two. In this note, we look for involutions among triangular automorphisms of the four-dimensional polynomial ring in characteristic two and obtain three types of such…

We show that the following problems are decidable in a rank 2 free group F_2: does a given finitely generated subgroup H contain primitive elements? and does H meet the orbit of a given word u under the action of G, the group of…

We study the automorphisms group action on a bounded domain in $\CC^n$ having a boundary point that is exponentially flat. Such a domain typically has a compact automorphism group. Our results enable us to generate many new examples.
