We construct k-parameter families of rational surface automorphisms for any k. These are automorphisms of surfaces X, which are constructed from iterated blowups over the projective plane. In certain cases: we are able to determine the…

We prove that every (possibly infinite) graph of degree at most $d$ has a 4-dependent random proper $4^{d(d+1)/2}$-coloring, and one can construct it as a finitary factor of iid. For unimodular transitive (or unimodular random) graphs we…

Consider the scheme parametrizing non-constant morphisms from a fixed projective curve to a projective surface. There is a rational map between this scheme and the Chow variety of $1$-cycles on the surface. We prove that, if the curve is…

Fix an integer $d \geq 2$. The space $\mathcal{P}_{d}$ of polynomial maps of degree $d$ modulo conjugation by affine transformations is naturally an affine variety over $\mathbb{Q}$ of dimension $d -1$. For each integer $P \geq 1$, the…

It is conjectured that a rational map whose coefficients are algebraic over $\Q_p$ has no wandering components of the Fatou set. R. Benedetto has shown that any counter example to this conjecture must have a wild recurrent critical point.…

For certain polynomials we relate the number of roots inside the unit circle with the index of a non-degenerate isolated umbilic point on a real analytic surface in Euclidean 3-space. In particular, for $N>0$ we prove that for a certain…

We start from a parametrized system of $d$ generalized polynomial equations (with real exponents) for $d$ positive variables, involving $n$ generalized monomials with $n$ positive parameters. Existence and uniqueness of a solution for all…

We introduce the concept of 2-cyclicity for families of one-dimensional maps with a non-hyperbolic fixed point by analogy to the cyclicity for families of planar vector fields with a weak focus. This new concept is useful in order to study…

We study complex one-dimensional parameter slices in a three-parameter family of rational maps with two free critical points, obtained by imposing the existence of periodic orbits with prescribed multipliers. Using explicit…

Let $F$ be a finite set of monomials of the same degree $d\geq 2$ in a polynomial ring $R=k[x_1,...,x_n]$ over an arbitrary field $k$. We give some necessary and/or sufficient conditions for the birationality of the ring extension…

Let $G=\langle x^d+c_1,\dots,x^d+c_s\rangle$ be a semigroup generated under composition for some $c_1,\dots,c_s\in\mathbb{Z}$ and some $d\geq2$. Then we prove that, outside of an exceptional one-parameter family, $G$ contains a large and…

We obtain explicit upper bounds for the number of irreducible factors for a class of compositions of polynomials in several variables over a given field. In particular, some irreducibility criteria are given for this class of compositions…

Criteria for piecewise linear circle homeomorphisms to be conjugate to a rigid rotation, $x\to x+\omega~({\rm mod}~1)$, with rational rotation number $\omega$ are given. The consequences of the existence of such maps in families of maps is…

A completely stable multicurve of a post-critically finite rational map induces a combinatorial decomposition. The projections of the small Julia sets are immersed within the original Julia set. We prove that two small Julia sets are…

We consider the problem of enumerating d-irreducible maps, i.e. planar maps whose all cycles have length at least d, and such that any cycle of length d is the boundary of a face of degree d. We develop two approaches in parallel: the…

Graph polynomials are graph parameters invariant under graph isomorphisms which take values in a polynomial ring with a fixed finite number of indeterminates. We study graph polynomials from a model theoretic point of view. In this paper we…

We construct a family of root-finding algorithms which exploit the branched covering structure of a polynomial of degree $d$ with a path-lifting algorithm for finding individual roots. In particular, the family includes an algorithm that…

The iterated monodromy group of a post-critically finite complex polynomial of degree d \geq 2 acts naturally on the complete d-ary rooted tree T of preimages of a generic point. This group, as well as its pro-finite completion, act on the…

Morton and Vivaldi defined the polynomials whose roots are parabolic parameters for a one-parameter family of polynomial maps. We call these polynomials delta factors. They conjectured that delta factors are irreducible for the family…

We introduce a sequence P_d of monic reciprocal polynomials with integer coefficients having the central coefficients fixed as well as the peripheral coefficients. We prove that the ratio between number of nonunimodular roots of P_d and its…
