Consider a cohomologically hyperbolic birational self-map defined over the algebraic numbers, for example, a birational self-map in dimension two with the first dynamical degree greater than one, or in dimension three with the first and the…

We study over a number field, the iterates of automorphisms of the affine space. More precisely, we are interested in the periodic and non-periodic points; for the former the questions are similar to the ones about torsion points on abelian…

We give a counterexample to the following conjecture: the set of isolated periodic points of an automorphism of degree at least two on an affine space is a set of bounded height. As a positive result, we prove that any cohomologically…

We show that two automorphisms of an affine surface with dynamical degree strictly larger than 1 share a Zariski dense set of periodic points if and only if they have the same periodic points. We construct canonical heights for these…

We study orbit closures and stationary measures for groups of automorphisms of $p$-adic affine surfaces.

We study the group of automorphisms of the affine plane preserving some given curve, over any field. The group is proven to be algebraic, except in the case where the curve is a bunch of parallel lines. Moreover, a classification of the…

Let $f \in Q(z)$ be a polynomial or rational function of degree 2. A special case of Morton and Silverman's Dynamical Uniform Boundedness Conjecture states that the number of rational preperiodic points of $f$ is bounded above by an…

We study the possible dynamical degrees of automorphisms of the affine space $\mathbb{A}^n$. In dimension $n=3$, we determine all dynamical degrees arising from the composition of an affine automorphism with a triangular one. This…

In this paper we study $p$-adic dynamical systems generated by the function $f(x)={a\over x^2}$ in the set of complex $p$-adic numbers. We find an explicit formula for the $n$-fold composition of $f$ for any $n\geq 1$. Using this formula we…

We study so called weakly-periodic twisted-multiplicative automorphisms of the free skew-field. In particular, we show that any automorphism of a free skew-field that is defined by a periodic automorphism of a free group is equivalent to a…

Let $f$ be a continuous ring endomorphism of $\mathbf{Z}_p[[x]]/\mathbf{Z}_p$ of degree $p.$ We prove that if $f$ acts on the tangent space at $0$ by a uniformizer and commutes with an automorphism of infinite order, then it is necessarily…

We prove that up to automorphisms a line admits a unique embedding into the regular part of of a simplicial toric variety of dimension n>=4 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero which is smooth in codimension 2.

Under special conditions, we prove that the set of preperiodic points for semigroups of self-morphisms of affine spaces falling on cyclotomic closures is not dense. generalising results of Ostafe and Young (2020). We also extend previous…

The Drinfeld upper half-planes play the role of symmetric spaces in the $p$-adic analytic world. We find the automorphism group of a product of such spaces, where each may be defined over a different field. We deduce a rigidity theorem for…

We prove a dynamical version of the Mordell-Lang conjecture for subvarieties of the affine space A^g over a p-adic field, endowed with polynomial actions on each coordinate of A^g. We use analytic methods similar to the ones employed by…

We study a kind of modification of an affine domain which produces another affine domain. First appeared in passing in the basic paper of O. Zariski (1942), it was further considered by E.D. Davis (1967). The first named author applied its…

We prove that every biregular automorphism of the affine algebraic variety ${\mathbb P}^M\setminus S$, $M\geqslant 3$, where $S\subset {\mathbb P}^M$ is a hypersurface of degree $m\geqslant M+1$ with a unique singular point of multiplicity…

We prove that if an $n\times n$ matrix defined over ${\mathbb Q}_p$ (or more generally an arbitrary complete, discretely-valued, non-Archimedean field) satisfies a certain congruence property, then it has a strictly maximal eigenvalue in…

A linear automorphism of Euclidean space is called bi-circular its eigenvalues lie in the disjoint union of two circles $C_1$ and $C_2$ in the complex plane where the radius of $C_1$ is $r_1$, the radius of $C_2$ is $r_2$, and $0 < r_1 < 1…

The fundamental theorem of affine geometry says that a self-bijection $f$ of a finite-dimensional affine space over a possibly skew field takes left affine subspaces to left affine subspaces of the same dimension, then $f$ of the expected…
