A meromorphic inner function is a bounded holomorphic function in the upper half-plane which is unimodular on the real line and extends to a meromorphic function in the whole complex plane. The argument of a meromorphic inner function on…

Let f be a function transcendental and meromorphic in the plane, and define g(z) by g(z) = f(z+1) - f(z). A number of results are proved concerning the existence of zeros of g(z) or g(z)/f(z), in terms of the growth and the poles of f.

We present several aspects of the "topology of meromorphic functions", which we conceive as a general theory which includes the topology of holomorphic functions, the topology of pencils on quasi-projective spaces and the topology of…

We study the number of meromorphic functions on a Riemann surface with given critical values and prescribed multiplicities of critical points and values. When the Riemann surface is $\CP^1$ and the function is a polynomial, we give an…

We calculate a certain mean-value of meromorphic functions by using specific ergodic transformations, which we call affine Boolean transformations. We use Birkhoff's ergodic theorem to transform the mean-value into a computable integral…

Investigating a problem posed by W. Hengartner (2000), we study the maximal valence (number of preimages of a prescribed point in the complex plane) of logharmonic polynomials, i.e., complex functions that take the form $f(z) = p(z)…

Using a `height-to-radical' identity, we define the archimedean contribution to the radical, $r_\arch$, and we give a new proof of the abc theorem for the field of meromorphic functions. The first step of the proof is completely formal and…

A meromorphic function on a compact complex analytic manifold defines a $\bc\infty$ locally trivial fibration over the complement of a finite set in the projective line $\bc\bp^1$. We describe zeta-functions of local monodromies of this…

Let $f$ be an arbitrary transcendental entire or meromorphic function in the class $\mathcal S$ (i.e. with finitely many singularities). We show that the topological pressure $P(f,t)$ for $t > 0$ can be defined as the common value of the…

Let $\mathcal{A}(p)$ be the class consisting of functions $f$ that are holomorphic in $\ID\setminus \{p\}$, $p\in (0,1)$ possessing a simple pole at the point $z=p$ with nonzero residue and normalized by the condition $f(0)=0=f'(0)-1$. In…

Let $f$ be a meromorphic function on the complex plane $\mathbb C$ with the maximum function of its modulus $M(r,f)$ on circles centered at zero of radius $r$. A number of classical, well-known and widely used results allow us to estimate…

The valence of a function f at a point $z_0$ is the number of distinct, finite solutions to $f(z) = z_0.$ In this paper, we bound the valence of complex-valued harmonic polynomials in the plane for some special harmonic polynomials of the…
