Motivated by the dynamical uniform boundedness conjecture of Morton and Silverman, specifically in the case of quadratic polynomials, we give a formal construction of a certain class of dynamical analogues of classical modular curves. The…

Consider the one-parameter family of cubic polynomials defined by $f_t(z) =-\frac 32 t(-2z^3+3z^2)+1, t \in \mathbb{C}_2$. This family corresponds to a slice of the parameter space of cubic polynomials in $\mathbb{C}_2[z]$. We investigate…

Building on work by Chabauty from 1941, Coleman proved in 1985 an explicit bound for the number of rational points of a curve $C$ of genus $g\ge 2$ defined over a number field $F$, with Jacobian of rank at most $g-1$. Namely, in the case…

The object of this paper is to give a systematic treatment of excedance-type polynomials. We first give a sufficient condition for a sequence of polynomials to have alternatingly increasing property, and then we present a systematic study…

We consider smooth projective curves C/$\mathbb{F}$ over a finite field and their symmetric squares $C^{(2)}$. For a global function field $K/\mathbb{F}$, we study the $K$-rational points of $C^{(2)}$. We describe the adelic points of…

We give an asymptotic formula for the divisor sum $\sum_{c<n\leq N}\tau\left((n-b)(n-c)\right)$ for integers $b<c$ of the same parity. Interestingly, the coefficient of the main term does not depend on the discriminant as long as it is a…

We show that periodic points of period $n$ of a complex rational map of degree $d$ equidistribute towards the equilibrium measure $\mu_f$ of the rational map with a rate of convergence of $(nd^{-n})^{1/2}$ for $\mathscr{C}^1$-observables.…

We take the following approach to analyze homotopy equivalence in periodic adelic functions. First, we introduce the concept of pre-periodic functions and define their homotopy invariant through the construction of a generalized winding…

The surface corresponding to the moduli space of quadratic endomorphisms of $\mathbb{P}^1$ with a marked periodic point of order $n$ is studied. It is shown that the surface is rational over $\mathbb{Q}$ when $n\le 5$ and is of general type…

Iteration of the quadratic map produces sequences of polynomials whose degrees {\sl explode} as the orbital period grows more and more. The polynomial mixing all 335 period-12 orbits has degree $4020$, while for the $52,377$ period-20…

Fix a rational basepoint b and a rational number c. For the quadratic dynamical system f_c(x) = x^2+c, it has been shown that the number of rational points in the backward orbit of b is bounded independent of the choice of rational…

It is shown that $c=-29/16$ is the unique rational number of smallest denominator, and the unique rational number of smallest numerator, for which the map $f_c(x) = x^2+c$ has a rational periodic point of period $3$. Several arithmetic…

Let U:=L\G be a homogeneous variety defined over a number field K, where G is a connected semisimple K-group and L is a connected maximal semisimple K-subgroup of G with finite index in its normalizer. Assuming that G(K_v) acts transitively…

We provide an explicit bound on the number of periodic points of a rational function defined over a number field, where the bound depends only on the number of primes of bad reduction and the degree of the function, and is linear in the…

Given a sequence of complex numbers {\rho}_n, we study the asymptotic distribution of the sets of parameters c {\epsilon} C such that the quadratic maps z^2 +c has a cycle of period n and multiplier {\rho}_n. Assume 1/n.log|{\rho}_n| tends…

In this paper, we prove the first incidence bound for points and conics over prime fields. As applications, we prove new results on expansion of bivariate polynomial images and on certain variations of distinct distances problems. These…

Given a quadratic polynomial with rational coefficients, we investigate the existence of consecutive squares in the orbit of a rational point under the iteration of the polynomial. We display three different constructions of $1$-parameter…

In this paper, we prove that for each number field $F$ there exists a uniform bound on the prime levels $p$ of elliptic curves $E/F$ for which $F(E[p])=F(\zeta_p)$. Under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, we also give uniform bounds on…
