Let $\mathbb{C}_K$ be a complete and algebraic closed non-archimedean field with residual characteristic $2$. In this paper we prove that there exist $a,b\in\mathbb{C}_K$ such that the rational function $R(z)=\frac{z^2-z}{bz-\frac{1}{a}}$…
We discuss the dynamical, topological, and algebraic classification of rational maps $f$ of the Riemann sphere to itself each of whose critical points $c$ is also a fixed-point of $f$, i.e. $f(c)=c$.
A conjecture of Richter and Salazar about graphs that are critical for a fixed crossing number $k$ is that they have bounded bandwidth. A weaker well-known conjecture of Richter is that their maximum degree is bounded in terms of $k$. In…
In this paper we prove the algebraic-tropical correspondence for stable maps of rational curves with marked points to toric varieties such that the marked points are mapped to given orbits in the big torus and in the boundary divisor, the…
Motivated by a uniform boundedness conjecture of Morton and Silverman, we study the graphs of pre-periodic points for maps in three families of dynamical systems, namely the collections of rational functions of degree two having a periodic…
This paper will study topological, geometrical and measure-theoretical properties of the real Fibonacci map. Our goal was to figure out if this type of recurrence really gives any pathological examples and to compare it with the infinitely…
The dynamics of all quadratic Newton maps of rational functions are completely described. The Julia set of such a map is found to be either a Jordan curve or totally disconnected. It is proved that no Newton map with degree at least three…
Given a dynamical system, we study the so-called space of shift functions thus introducing another vision on bifurcations and chaos. As an application of the obtained results, we give a partial solution to an open problem formulated in…
We consider the structure of rational points on elliptic curves in Weierstrass form. Let x(P)=A_P/B_P^2 denote the $x$-coordinate of the rational point P then we consider when B_P can be a prime power. Using Faltings' Theorem we show that…
We study the fine structure of the parameter space of the unicritical family of algebraic correspondences $z^r + c$, where $r > 1$ is a rational exponent. Building on Tan Lei's result regarding the similarity between the Mandelbrot set and…
In this paper we discuss the dynamics as well as the structure of the parameter space of the one-parameter family of rational maps $\ds f_t(z)=-\frac{t}{4}\frac{(z^{2}-2)^{2}}{z^{2}-1}$ with free critical orbit…
The dominant rational maps of finite degree from a fixed variety to varieties of general type, up to birational isomorphisms, form a finite set. This has been known as the Iitaka-Severi conjecture, and is nowdays an established result, in…
We present a finite-order system of recurrence relations for a permanent of circulant matrices containing a band of k any-value diagonals on top of a uniform matrix (for k = 1, 2, and 3) as well as the method for deriving such recurrence…
Let X be a smooth curve defined over the algebraic numbers, let a,b be algebraic numbers, and let f_l(x) be an algebraic family of rational maps indexed by all l in X. We study whether there exist infinitely many l in X such that both a and…
Let $K$ be a number field with algebraic closure $\overline{K}$ and let $S$ be a finite set of places of $K$ that contain all the archimedean places. For an integer $d \ge 2$, consider the unicritical polynomial family $f_{d,c}(z) = z^d +…
We present a number of rigidity results concerning holomorphic dynamical systems admitting rotation quasicircles. Firstly, we show the absence of line fields on the Julia set of any rational map that is geometrically finite away from a…
In the early 1980's Thurston gave a topological characterization of rational maps whose critical points have finite iterated orbits (\cite{Th,DH1}): given a topological branched covering $F$ of the two sphere with finite critical orbits, if…
We prove the existence of rational maps having smooth degenerate Herman rings. This answers a question of Eremenko affirmatively. The proof is based on the construction of smooth Siegel disks by Avila, Buff and Ch\'{e}ritat as well as the…
We show that, conditional on Zywina's effective version of the Serre uniformity conjecture, there is a natural way to parameterize non-CM $\mathbb{Q}$-rational points on all modular curves in terms of the rational points on finitely many…
A goal in the study of dynamics on the interval is to understand the transition to positive topological entropy. There is a conjecture from the 1980's that the only route to positive topological entropy is through a cascade of period…
