We prove a special case of a dynamical analogue of the classical Mordell-Lang conjecture. In particular, let $\phi$ be a rational function with no superattracting periodic points other than exceptional points. If the coefficients of $\phi$…
We characterize the sequences of fixed point indices $\{i(f^n, p)\}_{n\ge 1}$ of fixed points that are isolated as an invariant set and continuous maps in the plane. In particular, we prove that the sequence is periodic and $i(f^n, p) \le…
Let $\varphi: \mathbb{P}^{n}_{F} \to \mathbb{P}^{n}_{F}$ where $F$ is a complete valued field. If $x$ is a fixed point, such that the action of $\varphi$ on $T_{x}$ has eigenvalues $\lambda_{1}, \ldots, \lambda_{n}$, with $\lambda_{1},…
Let $f_c(z) = z^2+c$ for $c \in \mathbb{C}$. We show there exists a uniform bound on the number of points in $\mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{C})$ that can be preperiodic for both $f_{c_1}$ and $f_{c_2}$ with $c_1\not= c_2$ in $\mathbb{C}$. The proof…
We prove the real non-attractive fixed point conjecture for complex polynomial and rational harmonic functions. A harmonic function $f=h+\overline{g}$ is polynomial (rational) if both $h$ and $g$ are polynomials (rational functions) of…
Laminations are a combinatorial and topological way to study Julia sets. Laminations give information about the structure of parameter space of degree $d$ polynomials with connected Julia sets. We first study fixed point portraits in…
Inspired by the techniques of Givental and Th\'eret, we provide a proof with generating functions of a recent result of Ginzburg-G\"urel concerning the periodic points of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of $\mathbb{C}\text{P}^d$. For instance,…

We introduce a new notion of stability for periodic orbits in polygonal billiards. We say that a periodic orbit of a polygonal billiard is $\lambda$-stable if there is a periodic orbit for the corresponding pinball billiard which converges…
In this first article of a multi-part series, we inspect a surprising relationship between the set of fixed points of a polynomial map $\varphi_{d, c}$ defined by $\varphi_{d, c}(z) = z^d + c$ for all $c, z \in \mathbb{Z}$ and the…
We present dichotomy theorems regarding the computational complexity of counting fixed points in boolean (discrete) dynamical systems, i.e., finite discrete dynamical systems over the domain {0,1}. For a class F of boolean functions and a…
We prove that if $\max\{|a_0|,|a_1|\}\le 10$ and $\lambda\in\ ]-2,2[$, then the sequence defined by $$ 0 \le a_{n+2} +\lambda a_{n+1}+a_n<1 $$ is periodic.
We define new generalized factorials in several variables over an arbitrary subset $\underline{S} \subseteq R^n,$ where $R$ is a Dedekind domain and $n$ is a positive integer. We then study the properties of the fixed divisor…
We investigate perturbed monomial dynamical system over $\mathbb{F}_p$ given by iterations of $x\mapsto x^n+c\bmod{p}$, where $c\in \mathbb{F}_p$. Instead of study the systems one at a time we study all of them at the same time. The complex…
A sequence of representations \(V_n\) of the symmetric group \(S_n\) is called representation (multiplicity) stable if, after some \(n\), the irreducible decomposition of \(V_n\) stabilizes. In particular, Church, Ellenburg and Farb (2015)…
This paper investigates the dynamical properties of Dickson polynomials over finite fields, focusing on the periodicity and structural behavior of their iterated sequences. We introduce and analyze the sequence $[D_n(x, \alpha) \mod (x^q -…
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…
Answering a question posed by Adam Epstein, we show that the collection of conjugacy classes of polynomials admitting a parabolic fixed point and at most one infinite critical orbit is a set of bounded height in the relevant moduli space.…
In this article, we discuss fixed point results for $(\varepsilon,\lambda)$-uniformly locally contractive self mapping defined on $\varepsilon$-chainable $G$-metric type spaces. In particular, we show that under some more general…
This paper considers synchronous discrete-time dynamical systems on graphs based on the threshold model. It is well known that after a finite number of rounds these systems either reach a fixed point or enter a 2-cycle. The problem of…
