In this paper, we consider a one-parameter family of degree $d\ge 2$ rational maps with an automorphism group containing the cyclic group of order $d$. We construct a polynomial whose roots correspond to parameter values for which the…
In this paper, we study the dynamical uniform boundedness principle over a family of rational maps with certain nontrivial automorphisms. Specifically, we consider a family of rational maps of an arbitrary degree $d\ge 2$ whose automorphism…
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 investigate $k$-superirreducible polynomials, by which we mean irreducible polynomials that remain irreducible under any polynomial substitution of positive degree at most $k$. Let $\mathbb F$ be a finite field of characteristic $p$. We…
This paper investigates whether or not polynomials that are irreducible over $\mathbb{Q}$ and $\mathbb{Z}$ can remain irreducible under substitution by all quadratic polynomials. It answers this question in the negative in the degree 2 and…
The present work investigates regular, semiregular, and chiral polytopes of any rank $d\geq 3$, whose automorphism groups are 2-groups. There is a large variety of rather small finite regular or alternating semiregular polytopes with…
Fix an integer $d\geq 2$. The parameters $c_0\in \bar{\mathbb{Q}}$ for which the unicritical polynomial $f_{d,c}(z)=z^d+c\in \mathbb{C}[z]$ has finite postcritical orbit, also known as Misiurewicz parameters, play a significant role in…
We produce a new family of polynomials f(x) over fields K of characteristic 2 which are exceptional, in the sense that f(x)-f(y) has no absolutely irreducible factors in K[x,y] besides the scalar multiples of x-y; when K is finite, this…
Given a prime power $q$ and positive integers $m,t,e$ with $e > mt/2$, we determine the number of all monic irreducible polynomials $f(x)$ of degree $m$ with coefficients in $\mathbb{F}_q$ such that $f(x^t)$ contains an irreducible factor…
Let $q$ be an odd prime power and $D$ be the set of monic irreducible polynomials in $\mathbb F_q[x]$ which can be written as a composition of monic degree two polynomials. In this paper we prove that $D$ has a natural regular structure by…
We present the following result: consider the space of complex polynomials of degree n>2 with n-1 distinct marked periodic orbits of given periods. Then this space is irreducible and the multipliers of the marked periodic orbits considered…
We classify all finite 2-groups that have a cyclic or dihedral maximal subgroup and determine their automorphism groups. Based on this result, we classify all pairs $ (G,\mathcal{M}) $, such that $ G $ is a finite 2-group and $ \mathcal{M}…
In this paper we consider in detail the composition of an irreducible polynomial with X^2 and suggest a recurrent construction of irreducible polynomials of fixed degree over finite fields of odd characteristics. More precisely, given an…
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…
Let phi: P^1 --> P^1 be a rational map defined over a field K. We construct the moduli space M_d(N) parameterizing conjugacy classes of degree-d maps with a point of formal period N and present an algebraic proof that M_2(N) is…
In this paper we extend a previous investigation by us regarding an iterative construction of irreducible polynomials over finite fields of odd characteristic. In particular, we show how it is possible to iteratively construct irreducible…
We prove that hypersurfaces defined by irreducible square-free polynomials have rational singularities. As an easy consequence, we deduce that certain (possibly non-square-free) polynomials associated to pairs of square-free polynomials…
In this note we classify two-dimensional continued fractions for cubic irrationalities constructed by matrices with not large norm ($|*| \le 6$). The classification is based on the following new result: the class of matrices with an…
We characterize polynomials having the same set of nonzero cyclic resultants. Generically, for a polynomial $f$ of degree $d$, there are exactly $2^{d-1}$ distinct degree $d$ polynomials with the same set of cyclic resultants as $f$.…
The behavior under iteration of the critical points of polynomial maps plays an essential role in understanding its dynamics. We study the special case where the forward orbits of the critical points are finite. Thurston's theorem tells us…
