In this paper we study analytic families of degree 2 parabolic-like mappings (as we defined in arXiv:1111.7150). We prove that the corresponding family of hybrid conjugacies induces a continuous map, which associates to each parameter the…

We consider generic families $X_\param$ of smooth dynamical systems depending on parameters $\param\in P$ where $P$ is a 2-dimensional simply connected domain and assume that each $X_\param$ only has a finite number of restpoints and…

We study the postcritically-finite (PCF) maps in the moduli space of complex polynomials $\mathrm{MP}_d$. For a certain class of rational curves $C$ in $\mathrm{MP}_d$, we characterize the condition that $C$ contains infinitely many PCF…

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…

In this paper, we study the combinatorics of a subcomplex of the Bloch-Kriz cycle complex [4] used to construct the category of mixed Tate motives. The algebraic cycles we consider properly contain the subalgebra of cycles that correspond…

In this article, we study the dynamics of the following family of rational maps with one parameter: \begin{equation*} f_\lambda(z)= z^n+\frac{\lambda^2}{z^n-\lambda}, \end{equation*} where $n\geq 3$ and $\lambda\in\mathbb{C}^*$. This family…

Invertible compositions of one-dimensional maps are studied which are assumed to include maps with non-positive Schwarzian derivative and others whose sum of distortions is bounded. If the assumptions of the Koebe principle hold, we show…

We prove that the hyperbolic components of bicritical rational maps having two distinct attracting cycles each of period at least two are bounded in the moduli space of bicritical rational maps. Our arguments rely on arithmetic methods.

We study the dynamics of the map $x$ to $dx$ (mod 1) on the unit circle. We characterize the invariant finite subsets of this map which are called cycles and are graded by their degrees. By looking at the combinatorial properties of the…

A general mathematical method is presented for the systematic construction of coupled map lattices (CMLs) out of deterministic cellular automata (CAs). The entire CA rule space is addressed by means of a universal map for CAs that we have…

We uncover previously unknown properties of the family of periodic superstable cycles in unimodal maps characterized each by a Lyapunov exponent that diverges to minus infinity. Amongst the main novel properties are the following: i) The…

We prove that $i)$ if $\mathcal{A}$ is $\lambda $-accessible and it is axiomatizable in (finitary) coherent logic then $\lambda $-pure maps are strict monomorphisms and $ii)$ if there is a proper class of strongly compact cardinals and…

A classical result due to Blaschke states that for every analytic self-map $f$ of the open unit disk of the complex plane there exists a Blaschke product $B$ such that the zero sets of $f$ and $B$ agree. In this paper we show that there is…

Given a closed, orientable surface of constant negative curvature and genus $g \ge 2$, we study a family of generalized Bowen-Series boundary maps and prove the following rigidity result: in this family the topological entropy is constant…

We prove: If $f(z)$ is a critically finite rational map which has exactly two critical points and which is not conjugate to a polynomial, then the boundary of every Fatou component of $f$ is a Jordan curve. If $f(z)$ is a hyperbolic…

We give a useful new characterization of the set of all completely positive, trace-preserving (i.e., stochastic) maps from 2x2 matrices to 2x2 matrices. These conditions allow one to easily check any trace-preserving map for complete…

Let $K$ be a finitely generated field of characteristic zero. We study, for fixed $m \geq 2$, the rational functions $\phi$ defined over $K$ that have a $K$-orbit containing infinitely many distinct $m$th powers. For $m \geq 5$ we show the…

In this paper we study properties of endomorphisms of $\p^k$ using a symmetric product construction $(\p^1)^k/\mathfrak{S}_k \cong \p^k$. Symmetric products have been used to produce examples of endomorphisms of $\p^k$ with certain…

Banach's fixed point theorem for contraction maps has been widely used to analyze the convergence of iterative methods in non-convex problems. It is a common experience, however, that iterative maps fail to be globally contracting under the…

We study the dynamics of a piecewise map defined on the set of three pairwise nonparallel, nonconcurrent lines in $\mathbb{R}^2$. The geometric map of study may be analogized to the billiard map with a different reflection rule so that each…
