We consider a large class of so-called dynamical Belyi maps and study the Galois groups of iterates of such maps. From the combinatorial invariants of the maps, we construct a useful presentation of their Galois groups as subgroups of…
We present all Belyi maps P^1(C) -> P^1(C) having almost simple primitive monodromy groups (not isomorphic to A_n or S_n) containing rigid and rational generating triples of degree between 50 and 250. This also leads to new polynomials…
Given a composition of Bely\u{\i} maps $\beta \circ \gamma: X \rightarrow Z$, paths between edges of $\beta$ are extended to form loops, then lifted by $\gamma$. These liftings are then studied to understand how loops in $Z$ act on edges of…
A question of Griffiths-Schmid asks when the monodromy group of an algebraic family of complex varieties is arithmetic. We resolve this in the affirmative for the class of algebraic surfaces known as Atiyah-Kodaira manifolds, which have…
The article [14] gives a list of 51 symplectic hypergeometric monodromy groups corresponding to primitive pairs of degree four polynomials, which are products of cyclotomic polynomials, and for which, the absolute value of the leading…
A monomial algebra is the quotient of a polynomial algebra by an ideal generated by monomials. We prove that finite-dimensional monomial algebras are characterized by their automorphism group among finite-dimensional, local algebras with…
Every affine Weyl group appears as the iterated monodromy group of a Chebyshev-like polynomial self-map of $\mathbb{C}^n$.
In this work, we determine all Lattes maps which are Belyi morphisms. It turns out that in the generic case, i.e. when the automorphism group is $\ZZ/2\ZZ$, the corresponding family of Lattes maps are Belyi morphisms if and only if the…
In \cite{K-rig}, a map $\beta:\mathcal R\to\mathcal{B}el$ from the set $\mathcal R$ of equivalence classes of rigid germs of finite morphisms branched in germs of curves having $ADE$ singularity types onto the set $\mathcal{B}el$ of…
Two families of surfaces arise from considering cyclic branched covers of $\mathbb{P}^{2}$ over smooth quartic curves. These consist of degree 2 del Pezzo surfaces with a $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$ action and $K3$ surfaces with a…
The geometry of the deltoid curve gives rise to a self-map of $\mathbb{C}^2$ that is expressed in coordinates by $f(x,y) = (y^2 - 2x, x^2 - 2y)$. This is one in a family of maps that generalize Chebyshev polynomials to several variables. We…
We first introduce the class of quasi-algebraically stable meromorphic maps of $\P^k.$ This class is strictly larger than that of algebraically stable meromorphic self-maps of $\P^k.$ Then we prove that all maps in the new class enjoy a…
Coverings of the Riemann sphere by itself, ramified over two points, are given by so-called Shabat polynomials. The correspondence between Grothendieck's dessins d'enfants and Belyi maps then implies a bijection between Shabat polynomials…
We study the dynamical properties of a large class of rational maps with exactly three ramification points. By constructing families of such maps, we obtain infinitely many conservative maps of degree $d$; this answers a question of…
We study a family of birational maps of smooth affine quadric 3-folds, {over the complex numbers}, of the form $x_1x_4-x_2x_3=$ constant, which seems to have some (among many others) interesting/unexpected characters: a) they are…
We calculate the hauptmodul and Belyi map of a genus zero subgroup of the modular group defined via a canonical homomorphism by the Conway group group Co3. Our main result is the Belyi map and its field of definition.
We compute the subgroup of the monodromy group of a generalized Kummer variety associated to equivalences of derived categories of abelian surfaces. The result was previously announced in arXiv:1201.0031. Mongardi showed that the subgroup…
Riemann's Existence Theorem gives the following bijections: (1) Isomorphism classes of Belyi maps of degree $d$. (2) Equivalence classes of generating systems of degree $d$. (3) Isomorphism classes of dessins d'enfants with $d$ edges. In…
For a composition $f=f_1\circ\cdots \circ f_r$ of polynomials $f_i\in \mathbb Q[x]$ of degrees $d_i\geq 5$ with alternating or symmetric monodromy group, we show that the monodromy group of $f$ contains the iterated wreath product…
Consider the family of smooth cubic surfaces which can be realized as threefold-branched covers of $\mathbb{P}^{2}$, with branch locus equal to a smooth cubic curve. This family is parametrized by the space $\mathcal{U}_{3}$ of smooth cubic…
