Dynamical systems with quadratic or polynomial drift exhibit complex dynamics, yet compared to nonlinear systems in general form, are often easier to analyze, simulate, control, and learn. Results going back over a century have shown that…
We explore systems of polynomial equations where we seek complex solutions with absolute value 1. Geometrically, this amounts to understanding intersections of algebraic varieties with tori -- Cartesian powers of the unit circle. We study…
The modular curves serve as excellent objects for testing conjectures in arithmetic geometry. They possess a natural geometric definition in contrast with rather nontrivial structure. On the other hand, they are well-studied from the…
The vector space of the multi-indexed sequences over a field and the vector space of the sequences with finite support are dual to each other, with respect to a \textit{scalar product}, which we used to define \textit{orthogonals} in these…
We show that the Vojta (or Hall-Lang) conjecture implies that the arboreal Galois representations in a 1-parameter family of quadratic polynomials are surjective if and only if they surject onto some finite and uniform quotient. As an…
We consider the family of cubic polynomials with a simple parabolic fixed point. We prove that the boundary of the immediate basin of attraction of the parabolic point is a Jordan curve and give a description of the dynamics.
We develop the theory of difference algebraic groups in the case where we have finitely many pairwise commuting difference operators. We show that the defining ideal of a difference algebraic group is finitely generated as a difference…
We study a class of complex polynomial equations on a finite graph with a view to understanding how holistic phenomena emerge from combinatorial structure. Particular solutions arise from orthogonal projections of regular polytopes,…
Recently, the concept of Aut-stable subspaces has played an important role in the characterization of polynomial rings, a topic that remains a challenging problem in algebraic geometry (see [8]). It turns out that polynomial rings with more…
Consider a collection of points in the plane and the sets of slopes or directions of the lines between pairs of points. It is known that the algebraic matroid on the set of direction constraints between the points is equivalent to the…
We investigate the dynamics of semigroups generated by a family of polynomial maps on the Riemann sphere such that the postcritical set in the complex plane is bounded. Moreover, we investigate the associated random dynamics of polynomials.…
We formulate a multi-variable p-adic Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture for p-ordinary elliptic curves A over number fields K. It generalises the one-variable conjecture of Mazur-Tate-Teitelbaum, who studied the case K=Q and the…
We study stability and bifurcations in holomorphic families of polynomial automorphisms of C^2. We say that such a family is weakly stable over some parameter domain if periodic orbits do not bifurcate there. We first show that this defines…
This paper focuses on polynomial dynamical systems over finite fields. These systems appear in a variety of contexts, in computer science, engineering, and computational biology, for instance as models of intracellular biochemical networks.…
Let $A_1$ and $A_2$ be polynomials of degree at least two over $\mathbb C$. We say that $A_1$ and $A_2$ are intertwined if the endomorphism $(A_1, A_2)$ of $\mathbb C\mathbb P^1 \times \mathbb C\mathbb P^1$ given by $(z_1, z_2) \mapsto…
We show that the set of conjugacy classes of cubic polynomials with a prefixed critical point, of preperiod $k\geq 1$, is an irreducible algebraic curve. We also establish an analogous result for quadratic rational maps. We then study a…
We study dynamics and bifurcations of 2-dimensional reversible maps having a symmetric saddle fixed point with an asymmetric pair of nontransversal homoclinic orbits (a symmetric nontransversal homoclinic figure-8). We consider…
We study the well-posedness and asymptotic behaviour of selected PDE-PDE and PDE-ODE systems on one-dimensional spatial domains, namely a boundary coupled wave-heat system and a wave equation with a dynamic boundary condition. We prove…
Given two varieties V,W in the n-fold product of modular curves, we answer affirmatively a question (formulated by Shou-Wu Zhang's AIM group) on whether the set of points in V that are Hecke translations of some point on W is dense in V. We…
We study the discrete dynamics of standard (or left) polynomials $f(x)$ over division rings $D$. We define their fixed points to be the points $\lambda \in D$ for which $f^{\circ n}(\lambda)=\lambda$ for any $n \in \mathbb{N}$, where…
