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…

We investigate the topology of the space of M\"obius conjugacy classes of degree $d$ rational maps on the Riemann sphere. We show that it is rationally acyclic and we compute its fundamental group. As a byproduct, we also obtain the ranks…

In this article, we prove the equivalence of dynamical stability, preperiodicity, and canonical height 0, for algebraic families of rational maps $f_t: \mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{C}) \to \mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{C})$, parameterized by $t$ in a…

Let K be a number field, let f: P_1 --> P_1 be a nonconstant rational map of degree greater than 1, let S be a finite set of places of K, and suppose that u, w in P_1(K) are not preperiodic under f. We prove that the set of (m,n) in N^2…

We prove that for a dominant rational self-map $f$ on a quasi-projective variety defined over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$, there is a point whose $f$-orbit is well-defined and its arithmetic degree is arbitrarily close to the first dynamical…

We introduce a new canonical height function for Jordan blocks of small eigenvalues for endomorphisms on smooth projective varieties over a number field. We prove that under an assumption on the eigenvalues of the endomorphism on the group…

Let $K$ be a non-archimedean local field and $\varphi : \mathbb{P}^1 \to \mathbb{P}^1$ a rational endomorphism of degree $d \geq 2$ over $K$. In the tame case ($p \nmid d$), we show that strict good reduction is equivalent to the existence…

In this paper, we consider the dynamics of a skew-product map defined on the Cartesian product of the symbolic one-sided shift space on $N$ symbols and the complex sphere where we allow $N$ rational maps, $R_{1}, R_{2}, \cdots, R_{N}$, each…

Let {f_t} be any algebraic family of rational maps of a fixed degree, with a marked critical point c(t). We first prove that the hypersurfaces of parameters for which c(t) is periodic converge as a sequence of positive closed (1,1) currents…
