This expository article written for the Notices of the American Mathematical Society provides an overview of transcendental functions arising as solutions of the discrete Painlev\'e equations, for which the developments of the last two…

We prove the analogue of Schanuel's conjecture for raising to the power of an exponentially transcendental real number. All but countably many real numbers are exponentially transcendental. We also give a more general result for several…

We review some results of calculations, having the property of maximal transcendentality.

In this paper we consider maps on the plane which are similar to quadratic maps in that they are degree 2 branched covers of the plane. In fact, consider for $\alpha$ fixed, maps $f_c$ which have the following form (in polar coordinates):…

Let $b \ge 2$ be an integer. We prove that the $b$-adic expansion of every irrational algebraic number cannot have low complexity. Furthermore, we establish that irrational morphic numbers are transcendental, for a wide class of morphisms.…

We show that invertible transformations of dynamical variables can change the number of dynamical degrees of freedom. Moreover, even in cases when the number of dynamical degrees of freedom remains unchanged, the resulting dynamics can be…

In this paper we study a class of dynamical systems generated by iterations of multivariate polynomials and estimate the degreegrowth of these iterations. We use these estimates to bound exponential sums along the orbits of these dynamical…

Bedford asked if there exists a birational self map $f$ of the complex projective plane such that for any automorphism $A$ of the complex projective plane $A\circ f$ is not conjugate to an automorphism. Blanc gave such a $f$ of degree $6$…

The dynamical structure of the rational map $ax+1/x$ on the projective line over the field Q2 of $2$-adic numbers, is fully described.

Consider a cohomologically hyperbolic birational self-map defined over the algebraic numbers, for example, a birational self-map in dimension two with the first dynamical degree greater than one, or in dimension three with the first and the…

For any given natural $d\ge 1$ we provide examples of rational self-maps of complex projective plane $\pp^2$ of degree $d$ without (holomorphic) fixed points. This makes a contrast with the situation in one dimension. We also prove that the…

We define polygonal dynamics as a family of dynamical systems acting on points in projective spaces. The most famous example is the pentagram map. Similar collapsing phenomena seem to occur in most of these systems. We prove it in some…

For a finite dimensional vector space equipped with a $\mathbb C$-algebra structure, one can define rational maps using the algebraic structure. In this paper, we describe the growth of the degree sequences for this type of rational maps.

We exhibit planar, rational curves of large degree over ${\mathbb F}_2$ that have a unique singular point, which has multiplicity 2. In characteristic 0 such curves exist only for degrees up to $6$. v.2: references updated and examples of…

We introduce the concept of degree to classify the periods in the sense of Kontsevich. Using this notion we give some new understanding of some problems in transcendental number theory.

In this paper we give an explanation of a number of observations relating to degree growth of birational mappings of the plane and their deautonomisation by singularity confinement. These observations are of a link between two a priori…

Dynamical degrees and spectra can serve to distinguish birational automorphism groups of varieties in quantitative, as opposed to only qualitative, ways. We introduce and discuss some properties of those degrees and the Cremona degrees,…

For endomorphisms of projective varieties, we prove that the arithmetic degree of a point with Zariski dense orbit must be a cohomological Lyapunov multiplier of the dynamical system. We will apply our result to deduce a corollary towards…
