For any proper polynomial map $f:C^k\longrightarrow C^k$ define the function \alpha as $$\alpha(z):=\limsup_{n\to\infty} \frac{\log^+\log^+|f^n(z)|}{n} where \log^+:=\max(\log, 0).$$ Let f=(P_1,...,P_k) be a proper polynomial map. We define…

Let $K$ be a number field, $\overline{\mathbb Q}$, or the field of rational functions on a smooth projective curve over a perfect field, and let $V$ be a subspace of $K^N$, $N \geq 2$. Let $Z_K$ be a union of varieties defined over $K$ such…

Given a finitely generated group with generating set $S$, we study the cogrowth sequence, which is the number of words of length $n$ over the alphabet $S$ that are equal to one. This is related to the probability of return for walks the…

This paper is a continuation of our recent paper (Elect. J. Probab. 24 (2019), no. 141) and is devoted to the asymptotic behavior of a class of supercritical super Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes $(X_t)_{t\geq 0}$ with branching mechanisms of…

A \emph{quasi-polynomial} is a function defined of the form $q(k) = c_d(k) k^d + c_{d-1}(k) k^{d-1} + ... + c_0(k)$, where $c_0, c_1, ..., c_d$ are periodic functions in $k \in \Z$. Prominent examples of quasi-polynomials appear in…

We study the possible singularities of an $m$-subharmonic function $\varphi$ along a complex submanifold $V$ of a compact K\"ahler manifold, finding a maximal rate of growth for $\varphi$ which depends only on $m$ and $k$, the codimension…

This survey paper deals with upper and lower bounds on the number of $k$-matchings in regular graphs on $N$ vertices. For the upper bounds we recall the upper matching conjecture which is known to hold for perfect matchings. For the lower…

We study the adjacency matrix of the Linial-Meshulam complex model, which is a higher-dimensional generalization of the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graph model. Recently, Knowles and Rosenthal proved that the empirical spectral distribution of the…

Let $h^\infty_v$ be the class of harmonic functions in the unit disk which admit a two-sided radial majorant $v(r)$. We consider functions $v $ that fulfill a doubling condition. We characterize functions in $h^\infty_v$ that are…

The arithmetic regularity lemma for $\mathbb{F}_p^n$, proved by Green in 2005, states that given a subset $A\subseteq \mathbb{F}_p^n$, there exists a subspace $H\leq \mathbb{F}_p^n$ of bounded codimension such that $A$ is Fourier-uniform…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve without complex multiplication defined over a number field $K$ which has at least one real embedding. The field $F$ generated by all torsion points of $E$ over $K$ is an infinite, non-abelian Galois extension of…

Several recent papers construct auxiliary polynomials to bound the Weil height of certain classes of algebraic numbers from below. Following these techniques, the author gave a general method for introducing auxiliary polynomials to…

In this paper we prove a gap theorem for K\"ahler manifolds with nonnegative orthogonal bisectional curvature and nonnegative Ricci curvature, which generalizes an earlier result of the first author. We also prove a Liouville theorem for…

The $k$-higher Mahler measure of a nonzero polynomial $P$ is the integral of $\log^k|P|$ on the unit circle. In this note, we consider Lehmer's question (which is a long-standing open problem for $k=1$) for $k>1$ and find some interesting…

The rational points of a smooth curve $X$ over a number field $k$ map to the set of augmentations of the associated motivic algebra. An expectation, related to Kim's conjecture, is that for $X$ hyperbolic, the set of augmentations which…

Let $X$ be a normal projective variety of dimension $d$, and let $f$ be a zero-entropy automorphism of $X$. Denote by $k$ the first-degree growth rate of $f$, so that $\deg_1(f^n) \asymp n^{k}$. We prove the sharp lower bound for the…

In this paper, we show the existence of a transcendental function $f\in\mathbb{Z}\{z\}$ with coefficients that are almost all bounded such that $f$ and all its derivatives assume algebraic values at algebraic points. Furthermore, we…

Let $n\geq 2$, and let $f$ be a polynomial of degree at least 2 with coefficients in a number field or a characteristic 0 function field $K$. We present two arithmetic applications of a recent theorem of Medvedev-Scanlon to the dynamics of…

The main results of this paper concern growth in sums of a $k$-convex function $f$. Firstly, we streamline the proof of a growth result for $f(A)$ where $A$ has small additive doubling, and improve the bound by removing logarithmic factors.…

An important problem in combinatorial noncommutative algebra is to characterize the growth functions of finitely generated algebras (equivalently, semigroups, or hereditary languages). The growth function of every finitely generated,…
