We study the postcritically-finite (PCF) maps in the moduli space of complex polynomials $\mathrm{MP}_d$. For a certain class of rational curves $C$ in $\mathrm{MP}_d$, we characterize the condition that $C$ contains infinitely many PCF…
Given a rational map $f:\widehat{\mathbb C}\to\widehat{\mathbb C}$ on the Riemann sphere, we define $\mathrm{Deck}(f)$ to be the group of M\"obius transformations $\mu$ satisfying $f \circ \mu = f$. In this note, we consider the groups…
A Latt\`es map $f\colon \hat{\mathbb{C}}\rightarrow \hat{\mathbb{C}}$ is a rational map that is obtained from a finite quotient of a conformal torus endomorphism. We characterize Latt\`es maps by their combinatorial expansion behavior.
This note presents a new, elementary proof of a generalization of a theorem of Halin to graphs with unbounded degrees, which is then applied to show that every connected, countably infinite graph G with a subdegree-finite, infinite…
We consider convex maps f:R^n -> R^n that are monotone (i.e., that preserve the product ordering of R^n), and nonexpansive for the sup-norm. This includes convex monotone maps that are additively homogeneous (i.e., that commute with the…
We develop a new approach to recurrence and the existence of non-constant harmonic functions on infinite weighted graphs. The approach is based on the capacity of subsets of metric boundaries with respect to intrinsic metrics. The main tool…
We prove that the graph of a continuous function $f$, defined on a domain of ${\mathbb C}^n$, is pluripolar if and only if $f$ is holomorphic.
Let $G$ be a graph and $f: G\rightarrow G$ be a continuous map. We establish a structure theorem which describes the structures of the set $R(f)-\overline{P(f)}$, where $R(f)$ and $P(f)$ are the recurrent point set and the periodic point…
It is shown that if a proper holomorphic map $f: \mathbb C^n \to \mathbb C^N$, $1<n\le N$, sends a pseudoconvex real analytic hypersurface of finite type into another such hypersurface, then any $n-1$ dimensional component of the critical…
In this paper, we prove that a postcritically finite rational map with non-empty Fatou set is Thurstion equivalent to an expanding Thurston map if and only if its Julia set is homeomorphic to the standard Sierpinski carpet
We prove that if $f$ and $g$ are postcritically finite rational maps whose Julia sets $\mathcal{J}(f), \mathcal{J}(g)$, respectively, are Sierpi\'nski carpets, and if $\xi$ is a quasiregular map of the Riemann sphere $\widehat{\mathbb{C}}$…
An endomorphism $f:\mathbb{P}^k\to\mathbb{P}^k$ of degree $d\geq2$ is said to be postcritically finite (or PCF) if its critical set $\mathrm{Crit}(f)$ is preperiodic, i.e. if there are integers $m>n\geq0$ such that…
A holomorphic endomorphism of $\mathbb{CP}^n$ is post-critically algebraic if its critical hypersurfaces are periodic or preperiodic. This notion generalizes the notion of post-critically finite rational maps in dimension one. We will study…
The dominant rational maps of finite degree from a fixed variety to varieties of general type, up to birational isomorphisms, form a finite set. This has been known as the Iitaka-Severi conjecture, and is nowdays an established result, in…
Motivated by a uniform boundedness conjecture of Morton and Silverman, we study the graphs of pre-periodic points for maps in three families of dynamical systems, namely the collections of rational functions of degree two having a periodic…
A function $f$ of a graph is called a complete graph invariant if the isomorphism of graphs $G$ and $H$ is equivalent to the equality $f(G)=f(H)$. If, in addition, $f(G)$ is a graph isomorphic to $G$, then $f$ is called a canonical form for…
We present a natural extension of the notion of nondegenerate rational maps (quadrirational maps) to arbitrary dimensions. We refer to these maps as $2^n-$rational maps. In this note we construct a rich family of $2^n-$rational maps. These…
We provide a natural canonical decomposition of postcritically finite rational maps with non-empty Fatou sets based on the topological structure of their Julia sets. The building blocks of this decomposition are maps where all Fatou…
For a positive integer $n$, a graph with at least $n$ vertices is $n$-existentially closed or simply $n$-e.c. if for any set of vertices $S$ of size $n$ and any set $T\subseteq S$, there is a vertex $x\not\in S$ adjacent to each vertex of…
A rational function of degree at least two with coefficients in an algebraically closed field is post-critically finite (PCF) if all of its critical points have finite forward orbit under iteration. We show that the collection of PCF…
