A triple (a, b, c) of positive integers is called a Markoff triple iff it satisfies the Diophantine equation a2+b2+c2=abc . Recasting the Markoff tree, whose vertices are Markoff triples, in the framework of integral upper triangular 3x3…

We consider the $*$-Markov equation for the symmetric Laurent polynomials in three variables with integer coefficients, which is an equivariant analog of the classical Markov equation for integers. We study how the properties of the Markov…

In this paper, we systematically study generalized Markov numbers arising from semigroups of reduced integer matrices. This construction allows us to find these numbers by counting perfect matchings of a new family of bipartite graphs,…

Solutions of the Markoff-Rosenberger equation ax^2+by^2+cz^2 = dxyz such that their coordinates belong to the ring of integers of a number field and form a geometric progression are studied.

This paper is devoted to Markov's extremal problems of the form $M_{n,k}=\sup_{p\in\PP_n\setminus\{0\}}{{\|p^{(k)}\|}_X}/{{\|p\|}_X}$ $(1\le k\le n)$, where $\PP_n$ is the set of all algebraic polynomials of degree at most $n$ and $X$ is a…

Motivated by the definition of super-Teichm\"uller spaces, and Penner-Zeitlin's recent extension of this definition to decorated super-Teichm\"uller space, as examples of super Riemann surfaces, we use the super Ptolemy relations to obtain…

We classify the solutions to a system of equations, introduced by Bondal, which encode numerical constraints on full exceptional collections of length 4 on surfaces. The corresponding result for length 3 is well-known and states that there…

In this paper, we answer the question of equivalence, or singularity, of two given quasi-stationary Markov measures on one-sided infinite words, and the corresponding question of equivalence of associated Cuntz algebra $\O_N$…

In this paper we introduce generalised Markov numbers and extend the classical Markov theory for the discrete Markov spectrum to the case of generalised Markov numbers. In particular we show recursive properties for these numbers and find…

We identify the linear space spanned by the real-valued excessive functions of a Markov process with the set of those functions which are quasimartingales when we compose them with the process. Applications to semi-Dirichlet forms are…

In this note we study the integer solutions of Cayley's cubic equation. We find infinite families of solutions built from recurrence relations. We use these solutions to solve certain general Pell equations. We also show the similarities…

We study the orbits of the solutions to the Markoff-type equation $$X^2 + Y^2 + Z^2 = XYZ +AX + BY + CZ + D$$ in $\mathbb{F}_p$ for fixed integers $A, B, C,$ and $D$ under the group of symmetries $\Gamma$ generated by \[\begin{split}&V_1:…

An analysis of the Markov tree is presented. Markov triplets, {x,R,z}, are the positive integer solutions to the Diophantine equation x2 + R2 + z2 = 3xRz. Inspired by patterns of the Fibonacci and Pell triplets in Region 1 and Region 2 of…

Generalizing results of Temperley, Brooks, Smith, Stone and Tutte and others we describe a natural equivalence between three planar objects: weighted bipartite planar graphs; planar Markov chains; and tilings with convex polygons. This…

Markov-modulated L\'evy processes lead to matrix integral equations of the kind $ A_0 + A_1X+A_2 X^2+A_3(X)=0$ where $A_0$, $A_1$, $A_2$ are given matrix coefficients, while $A_3(X)$ is a nonlinear function, expressed in terms of integrals…

We study the enumeration of mixed dimer covers on skew Young diagrams of ribbon shape (also called border strips or snake graphs). For the two extreme cases of straight and zigzag shapes, we show that the number of mixed dimer covers are…

Solutions to the Markov equation appear in many mathematical contexts. We aim to build on the understanding of them by proving a recent conjecture about Markov polynomials; solutions to a generalised version of the Markov equation. The…

For two metric spaces X and Y, say that X {threshold-embeds} into Y if there exist a number K > 0 and a family of Lipschitz maps $f_{\tau} : X \to Y : \tau > 0 \}$ such that for every $x,y \in X$, \[ d_X(x,y) \geq \tau =>…

The representation problem of finite-dimensional Markov matrices in Markov semigroups is revisited, with emphasis on concrete criteria for matrix subclasses of theoretical or practical relevance, such as equal-input, circulant, symmetric or…

We prove a refined version of Markov's theorem in Diophantine approximation. More precisely, we characterize completely the set of irrationals $x$ such that $\left|x-\frac{p}{q}\right|<\frac{1}{3q^2}$ has only finitely many rational…
