We introduce horizontal and vertical motivic invariants of birational maps between rational dominant maps and study their basic properties. As a first application, we show that the (usual) motivic invariants vanish for birational…

We prove the existence of rational maps having smooth degenerate Herman rings. This answers a question of Eremenko affirmatively. The proof is based on the construction of smooth Siegel disks by Avila, Buff and Ch\'{e}ritat as well as the…

A conservative irrational pseudo-rotation of the two-torus is semi-conjugate to the irrational rotation if and only if it has the property of bounded mean motion [10]. (Here 'irrational pseudo-rotation' means a toral homeomorphism with…

By using a suitable Banach space on which we let the transfer operator act, we make a detailed study of the ergodic theory of a unimodal map $f$ of the interval in the Misiurewicz case. We show in particular that the absolutely continuous…

We show that a toral homeomorphism which is homotopic to the identity and topologically semiconjugate to an irrational rotation of the circle is always a pseudo-rotation (i.e. its rotation set is a single point). In combination with recent…

Shrinking target problems in the context of iterated function systems have received an increasing amount of interest in the past few years. The classical shrinking target problem concerns points returning infinitely many times to a sequence…

We study a parametric family of piecewise rotations of the torus, in the limit in which the rotation number approaches the rational value 1/4. There is a region of positive measure where the discontinuity set becomes dense in the limit; we…

Let $X$ be a Banach space or more generally a complete metric space admitting a conical geodesic bicombing. We prove that every closed $L$-Lipschitz curve $\gamma:S^1\rightarrow X$ may be extended to an $L$-Lipschitz map defined on the…

In this paper we consider maps on the plane which are similar to quadratic maps in that they are degree 2 branched covers of the plane. In fact, consider for $\alpha$ fixed, maps $f_c$ which have the following form (in polar coordinates):…

We consider holomorphic maps defined in an annulus around $\mathbb R/\mathbb Z$ in $\mathbb C/\mathbb Z$. E. Risler proved that in a generic analytic family of such maps $f_\zeta$ that contains a Brjuno rotation $f_0(z)=z+\alpha$, all maps…

We show that $C(X)$ admits an equivalent pointwise lower semicontinuous locally uniformly rotund norm provided $X$ is Fedorchuk compact of spectral height 3. In other words $X$ admits a fully closed map $f$ onto a metric compact $Y$ such…

We consider the dynamics of semi-hyperbolic semigroups generated by finitely many rational maps on the Riemann sphere. Assuming that the nice open set condition holds it is proved that there exists a geometric measure on the Julia set with…

The dynamics of all quadratic Newton maps of rational functions are completely described. The Julia set of such a map is found to be either a Jordan curve or totally disconnected. It is proved that no Newton map with degree at least three…

The triangular ratio metric is studied in subdomains of the complex plane and Euclidean $n$-space. Various inequalities are proven for it. The main results deal with the behavior of this metric under quasiconformal maps. We also study the…

Let $\mathcal{M}\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a compact and sufficiently smooth manifold of dimension $d$. Suppose $\mathcal{M}$ is nowhere completely flat. Let $N_{\mathcal{M}}(\delta,Q)$ denote the number of rational vectors $\mathbf{a}/q$…

We suggest a way to associate to a rational map of the Riemann sphere a three dimensional object called a hyperbolic orbifold 3-lamination. The relation of this object to the map is analogous to the relation of a hyperbolic 3-manifold to a…

We study the Hausdorff and box-counting dimensions of cookie-cutter-like sets formed by sequential dynamics of a finite number of expanding maps. Under some natural conditions, these dimensions turn out to be the minimum and maximum of the…

We construct, for every \(0<k<1\), a bounded globally univalent harmonic mapping \[ f=h+\overline g \colon \D\to\C \] such that \[ |g'(z)|\le k|h'(z)|,\qquad z\in\D, \] while the analytic part \(h\) is unbounded. The construction is based…

We consider some two-dimensional birational transformations. One of them is a birational deformation of the H\'enon map. For some of these birational mappings, the post critical set (i.e. the iterates of the critical set) is infinite and we…

A rational map $f:\widehat{\mathbb{C}}\to\widehat{\mathbb{C}}$ on the Riemann sphere $\widehat{\mathbb{C}}$ is called critically fixed if each critical point of $f$ is fixed under $f$. In this article, we study the properties of a…
