Let $\bar{\Kset}_f$ denote the commutative unital ring of Colombeau's full generalized numbers. This ring can be endowed with an ultra-metric in such a way that it becomes a topological ring. There are many interesting question about…
The numerical phenomenon of $\pi$ appearing at parameters $c = 1/4$, $c=-3/4$ and $c=-5/4$ in the Mandelbrot set $\mathcal{M}$ has been known for over 30 years. In 2001, the first proof was provided by Aaron Klebanoff for the parameter…
Let $X$ be a variety defined over a number field and $f$ be a dominant rational self-map of $X$ of infinite order. We show that $X$ admits many algebraic points which are not preperiodic under $f$. If $f$ were regular and polarized, this…
Suppose that $\alpha,\beta\in\mathbb{R}$. Let $\alpha\geqslant1$ and $c$ be a real number in the range $1<c< 12/11$. In this paper, it is proved that there exist infinitely many primes in the generalized Piatetski--Shapiro sequence, which…
It is a classical result of Mahler that for any rational number $\alpha$ > 1 which is not an integer and any real 0 < c < 1, the set of positive integers n such that $\alpha$ n < c n is necessarily finite. Here for any real x, x denotes the…
The purpose of this note is to describe when a general complex algebraic $^*$-algebra is pre-$C^*$-normed, and to investigate their structure when the $^*$-algebras are Baer $^*$-rings in addition to algebraicity. As a main result we prove…
Proofs of the fundamental theorem of algebra can be divided up into three groups according to the techniques involved: proofs that rely on real or complex analysis, algebraic proofs, and topological proofs. Algebraic proofs make use of the…
For the quadratic family $f_{c}(z) = z^2+c$ with $c$ in the exterior of the Mandelbrot set, it is known that every point in the Julia set moves holomorphically. Let $\hat{c}$ be a semi-hyperbolic parameter in the boundary of the Mandelbrot…
It was earlier conjectured by the second and the third authors that any rational curve $g:{\mathbb C}P^1\to {\mathbb C}P^n$ such that the inverse images of all its flattening points lie on the real line ${\mathbb R}P^1\subset {\mathbb…
We prove a structure theorem for the multibrot sets, which are the higher degree analogues of the Mandelbrot set, and give a complete picture of the landing behavior of the rational parameter rays and the bifurcation phenomenon. Our proof…
We study algebraic relations among postcritically finite (PCF) parameters in the family $f_c(z) = z^2 + c$. Ghioca, Krieger, Nguyen and Ye proved that an algebraic curve in $\mathbb{C}^2$ contains infinitely many PCF pairs $(c_1, c_2)$ if…
In this paper we study algebraic sets of pairs of matrices defined by the vanishing of either the diagonal of their commutator matrix or its anti-diagonal. We find a system of parameters for the coordinate rings of these two sets and their…
Let $K$ be a number field. Given a polynomial $f(x)\in K[x]$ of degree $d\ge 2$, it is conjectured that the number of preperiodic points of $f$ is bounded by a uniform bound that depends only on $d$ and $[K:\mathbb Q]$. However, the only…
We give a new proof that all external rays of the Mandelbrot set at rational angles land, and of the relation between the external angle of such a ray and the dynamics at the landing point. Our proof is different from the original one,…
Kumjian and Pask introduced an aperiodicity condition for higher rank graphs. We present a detailed analysis of when this occurs in certain rank 2 graphs. When the algebra is aperiodic, we give another proof of the simplicity of…
We prove a priori bounds for Feigenbaum quadratic polynomials, i.e., infinitely renormalizable polynomials $f_c: z\mapsto z^2+c$ of bounded type. It implies local connectivity of the corresponding Julia sets $J(f_c)$ and MLC (local…
A rational perfect cuboid is a rectangular parallelepiped whose edges and face diagonals are given by rational numbers and whose space diagonal is equal to unity. Its existence is equivalent to the existence of a perfect cuboid with all…
For each positive integer n greater than or equal to 2, a new approach to expressing real numbers as sequences of nonnegative integers is given. The n=2 case is equivalent to the standard continued fraction algorithm. For n=3, it reduces to…
Graph eigenvalues are examples of totally real algebraic integers, i.e. roots of real-rooted monic polynomials with integer coefficients. Conversely, the fact that every totally real algebraic integer occurs as an eigenvalue of some finite…
Let $a(\lambda)$ and $b(\lambda)$ be two polynomials with coefficients in complex numbers and let $f_{\lamb$ be a one-parameter family of polynomials indexed by all complex numbers $\lambda$. We study whether there exist infinitely many…
