The survey is devoted to the rationality question of finite linear groups. We concentrate on lower-dimensional cases, especially on the case of dimension four.

We show that if a meromorphic function has two completely invariant Fatou components and only finitely many critical and asymptotic values, then its Julia set is a Jordan curve. However, even if both domains are attracting basins, the Julia…

Let f be a rational function such that the multipliers of all repelling periodic points are real. We prove that the Julia set of such a function belongs to a circle. Combining this with a result of Fatou we conclude that whenever J(f)…

Over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, there exist rational functions with only one critical point. We give an elementary characterization of these functions in terms of their continued fraction expansions. Then we…

We consider linear systems on toric varieties of any dimension, with invariant base points, giving a characterization of special linear systems. We then make a new conjecture for linear systems on rational surfaces.

We give examples of sequences of smooth non-isotrivial curves for every genus at least two, defined over a rational function field of positive characteristic, such that the (finite) number of rational points of the curves in the sequence…

Since the 1980s, much progress has been done in completely determining which functions share a Julia set. The polynomial case was completely solved in 1995, and it was shown that the symmetries of the Julia set play a central role in…

In this paper, we prove that for any post-critically finite rational map $f$ on the Riemann sphere $\overline{\mathbb{C}}$, and for each sufficiently large integer $n$, there exists a finite and connected graph $G$ in the Julia set of $f$…

Let ${\mathbb F}_q$ be a finite field of characteristic two and ${\mathbb F}_q(X_1,...,X_n)$ a rational function field. We use matrix methods to obtain explicit transcendental bases of the invariant subfields of orthogonal groups and…

Let $X$ be an algebraic variety equipped with a dominant rational self-map $\phi:X\to X$. A new quantity measuring the interaction of $(X,\phi)$ with trivial dynamical systems is introduced; the stabilised algebraic dimension of $(X,\phi)$…

Given a rational function of degree at least two defined over a number field k, we study the cardinality of the set of rational iterated preimages. We prove bounds for the cardinality of this set as the rational function varies in certain…

We discuss computability and computational complexity of conformal mappings and their boundary extensions. As applications, we review the state of the art regarding computability and complexity of Julia sets, their invariant measures and…

We consider an arbitrary representation of the additive group over a field of characteristic zero and give an explicit description of a finite separating set in the corresponding ring of invariants.

We prove a Julia inequality for bounded non-commutative functions on polynomial polyhedra. We use this to deduce a Julia inequality for holomorphic functions on classical domains in $\mathbb{C}^d$. We look at differentiability at a boundary…

New invariants for 2-dimensional cell complexes are defined, which can be interpreted as curvature bounds. These invariants are proved to be rational and computable in a companion article. This document is a survey that collects theorems…

We give an example of two rational functions with non-equal Julia sets that generate a rational semigroup whose completely invariant Julia set is a closed line segment. We also give an example of polynomials with unequal Julia sets that…

Makienko's conjecture, a proposed addition to Sullivan's dictionary, can be stated as follows: The Julia set of a rational function R has buried points if and only if no component of the Fatou set is completely invariant under the second…

We construct the first examples of rational functions defined over a non-archimedean field with certain dynamical properties. In particular, we find such functions whose Julia sets, in the Berkovich projective line, are connected but not…

Let f and g two rational functions having the same Julia set J_f. Lets suppose that f has a rational indifferent periodic point and that the critical set of f is disjoint of J_f. Then or J_f has to be equal to P^1, a circle, an arc of a…

We show that if f is a nonzero, noninvertible function on a smooth complex variety X and J_f is the Jacobian ideal of f, then lct(f, J_f^2)>1 if and only if the hypersurface defined by f has rational singularities. Moreover, if this is not…
