We consider a dynamical system consisting of a pair of commuting power series, one noninvertible and another nontorsion invertible, of height one with coefficients in the $p$-adic integers. Assuming that each point of the dynamical system…

Lind and Schmidt have shown that the homoclinic group of a cyclic $\Z^k$ algebraic dynamical system is isomorphic to the dual of the phase group. We show that this duality result is part of an exact sequence if $k=1$. The exact sequence is…

In this paper a special group of bijective maps of a normed plane, called the group of general rotations, is introduced; it contains the isometry group as a subgroup. The concept of general rotations leads to the notion of flexible motions…

Graphs embedded into surfaces have many important applications, in particular, in combinatorics, geometry, and physics. For example, ribbon graphs and their counting is of great interest in string theory and quantum field theory (QFT).…

Much of dynamical algebraic combinatorics focuses on global dynamical systems defined via maps that are compositions of local toggle operators. The second author and Roby studied such maps that result from toggling independent sets of a…

We consider group-valued cocycles over dynamical systems with hyperbolic behavior. The base system is either a hyperbolic diffeomorphism or a mixing subshift of finite type. The cocycle $A$ takes values in the group of invertible bounded…

In 1968, Dashen and Sharp obtained a certain singular Lie algebra of local densities and currents from canonical commutation relations in nonrelativistic quantum field theory. The corresponding Lie group is infinite dimensional: the natural…

In this paper we relate dynamics associated to zero-sum games (Fictitious play) to Hamiltonian dynamics. It turns out that the Hamiltonian dynamics which is induced from fictitious play, has properties which are rather different from those…

It is well known that the rotation number of a circle homeomorphism defined by H. Poincar\'e allows to completely understand the dynamics of such a map from the topological point of view. In this paper, we collect some results concerning…

We obtain a characterization in terms of dynamical systems of those r-discrete groupoids for which the groupoid C*-algebra is approximately finite-dimensional (AF). These ideas are then used to compute the K-theory for AF algebras by…

We prove a conjecture of Calta, Kraaikamp and the author: For all $n\ge 3$, each member of their one-parameter family of interval maps, denoted $T_{3,n,\alpha}$, has its `first expansive return map' of natural extension given by the first…

Let $S=\Gamma\backslash \mathbb{H}$ be a hyperbolic surface of finite topological type, such that the Fuchsian group $\Gamma \le \operatorname{PSL}_2(\mathbb{R})$ is non-elementary, and consider any generating set $\mathfrak S$ of $\Gamma$.…

We classify rational surfaces for which the image of the automorphisms group in the group of linear transformations of the Picard group is the largest possible. This answers a question raised by Arthur Coble in 1928, and can be rephrased in…

We prove two theorems that confirm an observation of Lubin concerning families of $p$-adic power series that commute under composition: under certain conditions, there is a formal group such that the power series in the family are either…

We construct a group acting on a binary rooted tree; this discrete group mimics the monodromy action of iterates of $f(z)=z^2-1$ on associated coverings of the Riemann sphere. We then derive some algebraic properties of the group, and…

The dynamical degree of a dominant rational map $f:\mathbb{P}^N\rightarrow\mathbb{P}^N$ is the quantity $\delta(f):=\lim(\text{deg} f^n)^{1/n}$. We study the variation of dynamical degrees in 1-parameter families of maps $f_T$. We make a…

A $(\gamma,n)$-gonal pair is a pair $(S,f)$, where $S$ is a closed Riemann surface and $f:S \to R$ is a degree $n$ holomorphic map onto a closed Riemann surface $R$ of genus $\gamma$. If the signature of $(S,f)$ is of hyperbolic type, then…

Let S be a closed surface of genus at least 2. We show that a finitely generated group G which is an extension of the fundamental group H of S is word hyperbolic if and only the orbit map of the quotient group G/H on the complex of curves…

We present a one-parameter family of continuous, piecewise affine, area preserving maps of the square, which are inspired by a dynamical system in game theory. Interested in the coexistence of stochastic and (quasi-)periodic behaviour, we…

We develop a renormalization theory of non-perturbative dissipative H\'enon-like maps with combinatorics of bounded type. The main novelty of our approach is the incorporation of Pesin theoretic ideas to the renormalization method, which…
