A Latt\`es map $f\colon \hat{\mathbb{C}}\rightarrow \hat{\mathbb{C}}$ is a rational map that is obtained from a finite quotient of a conformal torus endomorphism. We characterize Latt\`es maps by their combinatorial expansion behavior.

Let f : X --> X be a dominant rational map of a projective variety defined over a global field, let d_f be the dynamical degree of f, and let h_X be a Weil height on X relative to an ample divisor. We prove that h_X(f^n(P)) << (d_f + e)^n…

Permutation rational functions over finite fields have attracted high interest in recent years. However, only a few of them have been exhibited. This article studies a class of permutation rational functions constructed using trace maps on…

Given a rational map $f:\widehat{\mathbb C}\to\widehat{\mathbb C}$ on the Riemann sphere, we define $\mathrm{Deck}(f)$ to be the group of M\"obius transformations $\mu$ satisfying $f \circ \mu = f$. In this note, we consider the groups…

We investigate the set a) of positive, trace preserving maps acting on density matrices of size N, and a sequence of its nested subsets: the sets of maps which are b) decomposable, c) completely positive, d) extended by identity impose…

Let G be a finite connected graph. The Kirchhoff polynomial of G is a certain homogeneous polynomial whose degree is equal to the first betti number of G. These polynomials appear in the study of electrical circuits and in the evaluation of…

We present an alternative (constructive) proof of the statement that for every completely positive, trace-preserving map $\Phi$ there exists an auxiliary Hilbert space $\mathcal K$ in a pure state $|\psi\rangle\langle\psi|$ as well as a…

Let $(R,M,k)$ be a complete local ring (not necessarily Noetherian). As the first main result of this article, we prove that in the unequal characteristic case $\Char(R)\neq\Char(k)$, the natural surjective map between the groups of units…

We prove that in each degree divisible by 2 or 3, there are infinitely many totally real number fields that require universal quadratic forms to have arbitrarily large rank.

We show that the n-fold integrals $\chi^{(n)}$ of the magnetic susceptibility of the Ising model, as well as various other n-fold integrals of the "Ising class", or n-fold integrals from enumerative combinatorics, like lattice Green…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over the rational field $\mathbf{Q}$. Let $K$ be a quadratic extension over $\mathbf{Q}$. Let $\mathrm{ST}(E/K)$ dente the Shafarevich-Tate group of $E$ over $K$. We show that (under mild conditions on $E$) for…

We prove that in the space of $C^r$ maps $(r=2,\ldots,\infty,\omega)$ of a smooth manifold of dimension at least 4 there exist open regions where maps with infinitely many corank-2 homoclinic tangencies of all orders are dense. The result…

The present note studies \emph{surjective rational endomorphisms} $f: \mathbb{P}^2 \dashrightarrow \mathbb{P}^2$ with \emph{cubic} terms and the indeterminacy locus $I_f \ne \emptyset$. We develop an experimental approach, based on some…

Given any finite subset $A$ of order $n$ of a distributive lattice and $k\in\{1,...,n\}$, there is a natural extension of the median operation to $n$ variables which generalizes the notion of the $k$th smallest element of $A$. By applying…

We present some properties of (not necessarily linear) positive maps between $C^*$-algebras. We first extend the notion of Lieb functions to that of Lieb positive maps between $C^*$-algebras. Then we give some basic properties and…

It is proved that each of compact linear groups of one special type admits a polynomial factorization map onto a real vector space. More exactly, the group is supposed to be non-commutative one-dimensional and to have two connected…

We construct a generalised notion of Kac-Moody algebras using smooth maps from the non-compact manifolds ${\cal M}=$SL$(2,\mathbb R)$ and ${\cal M}=$ SL$(2,\mathbb R)/U(1)$ to a finite-dimensional simple Lie group $G$. This construction is…

Let $M$ and $N$ be smooth (real or complex) manifolds, and let $M$ be equipped with some Riemannian metric. A continuous map $f\colon M\longrightarrow N$ admits a local $k$-multiplicity if, for every real number $\omega >0$, there exist $k$…

Let $N_n(F)$ denote the ring of strictly upper triangular matrices with entries in a field $F$ of characteristic zero and center $Z(N_n(F))$. We characterize the $2$-power commuting maps over $N_n(F)$, maps satisfying the identity…

Rotary maps (orientably regular maps) are highly symmetric graph embeddings on orientable surfaces. This paper classifies all rotary maps whose underlying graphs are Praeger-Xu graphs, denoted $\operatorname{C}(p,r,s)$, for any odd prime…
