We prove a rigidity property in non-Archimedean dynamics, reminiscent of Zdunik theorem in complex dynamics: every rational map whose equilibrium measure charges an interval in the Berkovich projective line is affine Bernoulli. Our proof is…
Differentiable conjugacies link dynamical systems that share properties such as the stability multipliers of corresponding orbits. It provides a stronger classification than topological conjugacy, which only requires qualitative similarity.…
For a smooth expanding map $f$ of the circle, its (unmarked) length spectrum is defined as the set of logarithms of multipliers of periodic orbits of $f$. This spectrum is analogous to the set of lengths of all closed geodesics on…
By a classical theorem transversal homoclinic points of maps lead to shift dynamics on a maximal invariant set, also referred to as a homoclinic tangle. In this paper we study the fate of homoclinic tangles in parameterized systems from the…
Mating is an operation to construct a rational map f from two polynomials, which are not in conjugate limbs of the Mandelbrot set. When the Thurston Algorithm for the unmodified formal mating is iterated in the case of postcritical…
Let $A$ be an algebra over any field. We do not assume that $A$ has an identity. The \emph{multiplier algebra} $M(A)$ is a unital algebra associated to $A$. If we require the product in $A$ to be non-degenerate (as a bilinear form), the…
Let $K$ be a finitely generated field of characteristic zero. We study, for fixed $m \geq 2$, the rational functions $\phi$ defined over $K$ that have a $K$-orbit containing infinitely many distinct $m$th powers. For $m \geq 5$ we show the…
We show that $J-$ stability is open and dense in natural families of meromorphic maps of one complex variable with a finite number of singular values, and even more generally, to finite type maps. This extends the results of…
We consider the notion of mixed multiplicities for multigraded modules by using Hilbert series, and this is later applied to study the projective degrees of rational maps. We use a general framework to determine the projective degrees of a…
For the family of complex rational functions known as "Generalized McMullen maps", F(z) = z^n + a/z^n+b, for complex parameters a and b, with a nonzero, and any integer n at least 3 fixed, we reveal, and provide a combinatorial model for,…
The famous MLC Conjecture states that the Mandelbrot set is locally connected, and it is considered by many to be the central conjecture in one-dimensional complex dynamics. Among others, it implies density of hyperbolicity in the quadratic…
We investigate random complex dynamics of rational or polynomial maps on the Riemann sphere. We show that regarding random complex dynamics of polynomials, generically, the chaos of the averaged system disappears at any point in the Riemann…
A Thurston map $f\colon (S^2, A) \to (S^2, A)$ with marking set $A$ induces a pullback relation on isotopy classes of Jordan curves in $(S^2, A)$. If every curve lands in a finite list of possible curve classes after iterating this pullback…
Let $M$ be a closed manifold and consider the Hamiltonian flow associated to an autonomous Tonelli Hamiltonian $H:T^*M\rightarrow \mathbb R$ and a twisted symplectic form. In this paper we study the existence of contractible periodic orbits…
We solve the longstanding conjecture by Milnor (1993) concerning the connectedness locus $M_1$ of the family of quadratic rational maps tangent to the identity at $\infty$. We prove that this locus in homeomorphic to the Mandelbrot set $M$…
An area-preserving homeomorphism isotopic to the identity is said to have rational rotation direction if its rotation vector is a real multiple of a rational class. We give a short proof that any area-preserving homeomorphism of a compact…
A rational function of degree at least two with coefficients in an algebraically closed field is post-critically finite (PCF) if all of its critical points have finite forward orbit under iteration. We show that the collection of PCF…
Geometric Complexity Theory as initiated by Mulmuley and Sohoni in two papers (SIAM J Comput 2001, 2008) aims to separate algebraic complexity classes via representation theoretic multiplicities in coordinate rings of specific group…
This is a continuation of the series of notes on the dynamics of quadratic polynomials. We show the following Rigidity Theorem: Any combinatorial class contains at most one quadratic polynomial satisfying the secondary limbs condition with…
We investigate the dynamics of chaotic trajectories in simple yet physically important Hamiltonian systems with non-hierarchical borders between regular and chaotic regions with positive measures. We show that the stickiness to the border…
