Let $S_{\rm div}(n)$ denote the set of permutations $\pi$ of $n$ such that for each $1\leq j \leq n$ either $j \mid \pi(j)$ or $\pi(j) \mid j$. These permutations can also be viewed as vertex-disjoint directed cycle covers of the divisor…

An n-gon is defined as a sequence \P=(V_0,...,V_{n-1}) of n points on the plane. An n-gon \P is said to be convex if the boundary of the convex hull of the set {V_0,...,V_{n-1}} of the vertices of \P coincides with the union of the edges…

We prove the existence of a locally dense set of real polynomial automorphisms of C 2 displaying a wandering Fatou component; in particular this solves the problem of their existence, reported by Bedford and Smillie in 1991. These Fatou…

Let $M$ be a 2-disk or a cylinder, and $f$ be a smooth function on $M$ with constant values at $\partial M$, devoid of critical points in $\partial M$, and exhibiting a property wherein for every critical point $z$ of $f$ there is a local…

This paper deals with the period function of the reversible quadratic centers \begin{equation*} X_{\np}=-y(1-x)\partial_x+(x+Dx^2+Fy^2)\partial_y, \end{equation*} where $\np=(D,F)\in\R^2.$ Compactifying the vector field to $\Sc^2$, the…

Given two graphs G and H its 1-{\it join} is the graph obtained by taking the disjoint union of G and H and adding all the edges between a nonempty subset of vertices of G and a nonempty subset of vertices of H. In general, composition…

A transcendental entire function f is called geometrically finite if the intersection of the set of singular values with the Fatou set is compact and the intersection of the postsingular set with the Julia set is finite. (In particular,…

Given any n-tuple of complex numbers, one can canonically define a polynomial of degree n+1 that has the entries of this n-tuple as its critical points. In 2002, Beardon, Carne, and Ng studied a map $\theta\colon \mathbb{C}^n\to…

Let $X$ be a regular curve and let $f: X\to X$ be a monotone map. In this paper, nonwandering set of $f$ and the structure of special $\alpha$-limit sets for $f$ are investigated. We show that AP$(f)= \textrm{R}(f) =\Omega(f)$, where…

This is a study of the construction of particular regular sub-n-gons T in regular n-gons P using a special system of chords of P. In particular, some of these sub-n-gons have areas which are integer divisors of the area of the given n-gon…

Let G be a (real or complex) linear reductive algebraic group acting on an affine variety V. Let W be a subvariety. In this work we study how the G-orbits intersect W. We develop a criterion to determine when the intersection can be…

In recent years, there has been significant progress in the understanding of the dynamics of transcendental entire functions with bounded postsingular set. In particular, for certain classes of such functions, a complete description of…

Let $f(x)\in {\mathbb Z}[x]$ be an $N$th degree polynomial that is monic and irreducible over ${\mathbb Q}$. We say that $f(x)$ is {\em monogenic} if $\{1,\theta,\theta^2,\ldots ,\theta^{N-1}\}$ is a basis for the ring of integers of…

In this paper we consider the critical group of finite connected graphs which admit harmonic actions by the dihedral group $D_n$. In particular, we show that if the orbits of the $D_n$-action all have either $n$ or $2n$ points then the…

Let F : P^n --> P^n be a morphism of degree d > 1 defined over C. The dynamical Mordell--Lang conjecture says that the intersection of an orbit O_F(P) and a subvariety X of P^n is usually finite. We consider the number of linear…

We consider the critical behavior associated with incommensurate unidirectional charge-density-wave ordering in a weakly orthorhombic system subject to uniaxial strain as an experimentally significant example of $U(1)\times U(1)$…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a connected, locally finite, transitive graph, and consider Bernoulli bond percolation on $G$. In recent work, we conjectured that if $G$ is nonamenable then the matrix of critical connection probabilities…

A monotone cylindrical graph is a topological graph drawn on an open cylinder with an infinite vertical axis satisfying the condition that every vertical line intersects every edge at most once. It is called simple if any pair of its edges…

We consider the family of dehomogenized Loud's centers $X_{\mu}=y(x-1)\partial_x+(x+Dx^2+Fy^2)\partial_y,$ where $\mu=(D,F)\in\mathbb{R}^2,$ and we study the number of critical periodic orbits that emerge or dissapear from the polycycle at…

We study the forward orbit of the critical point for polynomials of the form $f_c=z^2+c$ defined over $\mathbb{Z}_p$. Hubbard trees capture the dynamical behavior for such maps with finite critical orbit in $\mathbb{C}$. We suggest a notion…
