In the first part of the present paper, we continue our study of distribution of postcritically finite parameters in the moduli space of polynomials: we show the equidistribution of Misiurewicz parameters with prescribed combinatorics…

We give a list of monodromy factorizations in the pure mapping class group $Mod(T_{d+1})$ of a torus with d+1 marked points that represent lines on a del Pezzo surface Y of degree $d\le4$. These factorizations are lifts of a certain fixed…

Given an odd prime $p$, we provide formulas for the Hensel lifts of polynomial roots modulo $p$, and give an explicit factorization over the ring of formal power series with integer coefficients for certain reducible polynomials whose…

The magnetization plateaus of $p$-merized $S=1/2$ XXZ chains are studied for general values of $p$. Two plateau-non-plateau critical lines and one plateau-plateau critical line are found for each value of $p$. The universality class of the…

The triangle of sorted binomial coefficients $\left\langle {n \atop k} \right\rangle = \binom{n}{\lfloor \frac{n - k}{2} \rfloor}$ for $0 \leq k \leq n$ has appeared several times in recent combinatorial works but has evaded dedicated…

In this paper, we study the critical orbit of a post-critically finite polynomial of the form $f_{c,d}(x) = x^d+c \in \mathbb{C}[x]$. We discover that in many cases the orbit elements satisfy some strong arithmetic properties. It is well…

For a numerical semigroup $S := \langle n_1, \dots, n_k \rangle$ with minimal generators $n_1 < \cdots < n_k$, Barron, O'Neill, and Pelayo showed that $L(s+n_1) = L(s) + 1$ and $\ell(s+n_k) = \ell(s) + 1$ for all sufficiently large $s \in…

We introduce a series of $\Z_2^n$-graded quasialgebras $\bbP_n(m)$ which generalizes Clifford algebras, higher octonions, and higher Cayley algebras. The constructed series of algebras and their minor perturbations are applied to contribute…

Let $Q_{p,q}(t)\in\mathbb{Z}[t]$ be Sharipov's even monic degree-$10$ second cuboid polynomial depending on coprime integers $p\neq q>0$. Writing $Q_{p,q}(t)$ as a quintic in $t^{2}$ produces an associated monic quintic polynomial. After…

We consider polynomials of bi-degree $(n,1)$ over the skew field of quaternions where the indeterminates commute with each other and with all coefficients. Polynomials of this type do not generally admit factorizations. We recall a…

In 1985, Barnsley and Harrington defined a ``Mandelbrot Set'' $\mathcal{M}$ for pairs of similarities --- this is the set of complex numbers $z$ with $0<|z|<1$ for which the limit set of the semigroup generated by the similarities $x…

Mating is an operation to construct a rational map f from two polynomials, which are not in conjugate limbs of the Mandelbrot set. When the Thurston Algorithm for the unmodified formal mating is iterated in the case of postcritical…

In the moduli space of degree d polynomials, the special subvarieties are those cut out by critical orbit relations, and then the special points are the post-critically finite polynomials. It was conjectured that in the moduli space of…

We classify the graphs that can occur as the graph of rational preperiodic points of a quadratic polynomial over $\bold Q$, assuming the conjecture that it is impossible to have rational points of period $4$ or higher. In particular, we…

Given a central division algebra $D$ of degree $d$ over a field $F$, we associate to any standard polynomial $\phi(z)=z^n+c_{n-1} z^{n-1}+\dots+c_0$ over $D$ a "companion polynomial" $\Phi(z)$ of degree $n d$ with coefficients in $F$ whose…

We prove that for any circulant matrix $C$ of size $n\times n$ with the monic characteristic polynomial $p(z)$, the spectrum of its $(n-1)\times(n-1)$ submatrix $C_{n-1}$ constructed with first $n-1$ rows and columns of $C$ consists of all…

The centre of the symmetric group algebra $\mathbb{C}[\mathfrak{S}_n]$ has been used successfully for studying important problems in enumerative combinatorics. These include maps in orientable surfaces and ramified covers of the sphere by…

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…

In this paper we present a complete method for finding the roots of all polynomials of the form $\phi(z)=c_n z^n+c_{n-1} z^{n-1}+\dots+c_1 z+c_0$ over a given octonion division algebra. When $\phi(z)$ is monic we also consider the companion…

It has been shown by Ibragimov and Zaporozhets [In Prokhorov and Contemporary Probability Theory (2013) Springer] that the complex roots of a random polynomial $G_n(z)=\sum_{k=0}^n\xi_kz^k$ with i.i.d. coefficients $\xi_0,\ldots,\xi_n$…
