We prove a uniform version of the Dynamical Mordell-Lang Conjecture for \'etale maps; also, we obtain a gap result for the growth rate of heights of points in an orbit along an arbitrary endomorphism of a quasiprojective variety defined…

We prove that for a dynamical system on an algebraic variety over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$ generated by finitely many unramified endomorphisms, it is decidable whether a given point has a finite orbit. This is achieved by establishing an…

We give formulas and effective sharp bounds for the degree of multi-graded rational maps and provide some effective and computable criteria for birationality in terms of their algebraic and geometric properties. We also extend the Jacobian…

Let $d\geq2$ be an integer. The set $\mathbf{F}(d)$ of foliations of degree $d$ on the complex projective plane can be identified with a Zariski's open set of a projective space of dimension $d^2+4d+2$ on which $\mathrm{Aut}(\mathbb…

We prove that $\mathrm{deg}(f) \leq \widetilde{O}(\mathrm{rdeg}(f)^3)$ for every Boolean function $f$, where $\mathrm{deg}(f)$ is the degree of $f$ and $\mathrm{rdeg}(f)$ is the rational degree of $f$. This resolves the second of the three…

We prove that the orbit of a non-periodic point at prime values of the horocycle flow in the modular surface is dense in a set of positive measure. For some special orbits we also prove that they are dense in the whole space (assuming the…

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…

Let $f:\mathbb{A}^N\to\mathbb{A}^N$ be a regular endomorphism of algebraic degree $d\geq2$ (i.e., $f$ extends to an endomorphism on $\mathbb{P}^N$ of algebraic degree $d$) defined over a number field. We prove that if the set of cyclotomic…

We consider arbitrary orderings of the edges entering each vertex of the (downward directed) Pascal graph. Each ordering determines an adic (Bratteli-Vershik) system, with a transformation that is defined on most of the space of infinite…

We show that orbit equivalence relations arising from essentially free ergodic probability measure preserving actions of Zariski dense discrete subgroups of simple algebraic groups are strongly prime. As a consequence, we prove the…

Let $X$ be an algebraic variety, defined over the rationals. This paper gives upper bounds for the number of rational points on $X$, with height at most $B$, for the case in which $X$ is a curve or a surface. In the latter case one excludes…

Let $\RR_S$ denote the expansion of the real ordered field by a family of real-valued functions $S$, where each function in $S$ is defined on a compact box and is a member of some quasianalytic class which is closed under the operations of…

We construct first examples of singular del Pezzo surfaces with Zariski dense exceptional sets in Manin's conjecture, varying in degrees $1, 2$ and $3$. The obstructions arise from accumulating quasi-\'etale covers. We classify all…

In studying rational points on elliptic K3 surfaces of the form $f(t)y^2=g(x)$, where $f,g$ are cubic or quartic polynomials (without repeated roots), we introduce a condition on the quadratic twists of two elliptic curves having…

In this work we show that the loci of ideals in principal class, ideals of grade at least two, and ideals of maximal analytic spread are Zariski open sets in the parameter space. As an application, we show that the set of birational maps of…

One develops {\em ab initio} the theory of rational/birational maps over reduced, but not necessarily irreducible, projective varieties in arbitrary characteristic. A numerical invariant of a rational map is introduced, called the Jacobian…

Let $S \subset \P^n$ be a smooth quartic hypersurface defined over a number field $K$. If $n \ge 4$, then for some finite extension $K'$ of $K$ the set $S(K')$ of $K'$-rational points of $S$ is Zariski dense.

We prove the existence of an effective universal upper bound for the order of any integral periodic orbit of any integral algebraic dynamical system in a fixed ambient space. Using this, we demonstrate the decidability of periodicity in…

Working over a base number field $\KK$, we study the attractive question of Zariski non-density for $(D,S)$-integral points in $\mathrm{O}_f(x)$ the forward $f$-orbit of a rational point $x \in X(\KK)$. Here, $f \colon X \rightarrow X$ is a…

We prove Odoni's conjecture in all prime degrees; namely, we prove that for every positive prime $p$, there exists a degree $p$ polynomial $\varphi\in\mathbb{Z}[x]$ with surjective arboreal Galois representation. We also show that Vojta's…
