We prove that a polynomial Julia set which is a finitely irreducible continuum is either an arc or an indecomposable continuum. For the more general case of rational functions, we give a topological model for the dynamics when the Julia set…
Associated to any graph is a toric ideal whose generators record relations among the cuts of the graph. We study these ideals and the geometry of the corresponding toric varieties. Our theorems and conjectures relate the combinatorial…
Finite families of biorthogonal rational functions and orthogonal polynomials of Racah-type are studied within a unified algebraic framework based on the meta Racah algebra and its finite-dimensional representations. These functions are…
We present some general theorems about operator algebras that are algebras of functions on sets, including theories of local algebras, residually finite dimensional operator algebras and algebras that can be represented as the scalar…
The set of increasing functions on the rational numbers, equipped with the composition operation, naturally forms a topological semigroup with respect to the topology of pointwise convergence in which a sequence of increasing functions…
The discrete LS algebra over a totally ordered set is the homogeneous coordinate ring of an irreducible projective (normal) toric variety. We prove that this algebra is the ring of invariants of a finite abelian group containing no…
This document aims to give a self-contained account of the parts of abelian group theory that are most relevant for algebraic topology. It is almost purely expository, although there are some slightly unusual features in the treatment of…
Starting from $\mathbb{C}^*$-actions on complex projective varieties, we construct and investigate birational maps among the corresponding extremal fixed point components. We study the case in which such birational maps are locally…
We demonstrate that topological defects in a rational conformal field theory can be described by a classifying algebra for defects - a finite-dimensional semisimple unital commutative associative algebra whose irreducible representations…
In this paper we give an elementary proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra for polynomials over the rational tropical semi-ring. We prove that, tropically, the rational numbers are algebraically closed. We provide a simple algorithm…
It is shown that if $A$ is a unital commutative Banach algebra with a dense set of invertible elements, then the maximal ideal space of $A$ contains no compact, locally connected, simply coconnected subspace of topological dimension $\geq…
We show that, for pairs of hyperbolic toral automorphisms on the $2$-torus, the points with dense forward orbits under one map and nondense forward orbits under the other is a dense, uncountable set. The pair of maps can be noncommuting. We…
Many recursive functions can be defined elegantly as the unique homomorphisms, between two algebras, two coalgebras, or one each, that are induced by some universal property of a distinguished structure. Besides the well-known applications…
In this note we study numerically the combinatorics of curves and geodesics on the torus with one boundary component. A potential computational difficulty is avoided by counting inside specific orbits of the mapping class group up to a…
We analyse the 3-extremal holomorphic maps from the unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ to the symmetrised bidisc $ \mathcal{G}$, defined to be the set $ \{(z+w,zw): z,w\in\mathbb{D}\}$, with a view to the complex geometry and function theory of…
According to the classical theorem, every irreducible algebraic variety endowed with a nontrivial rational action of a connected linear algebraic group is birationally isomorphic to a product of another algebraic variety and ${\bf P}^s$…
For $\alpha$ a positive irrational, let $\mathcal{A}_{\alpha}$ be the subalgebra of continuous functions on the two-torus whose Fourier transform vanishes at $(m, n)$ if $m + \alpha n < 0.$ These algebras were studied by Wermer and others,…
We describe bounded, holomorphic functions on the complex 2-disc, that admit meromorphic extension to a larger 2-disc. This solves a conjecture of Bickel, Knese, Pascoe and Sola. The key technical ingredient is an old theorem of Zariski…
An algebraic theory, sometimes called an equational theory, is a theory defined by finitary operations and equations, such as the theories of groups and of rings. It is well known that algebraic theories are equivalent to finitary monads on…
We return to Takagi's variational principle, generalized after forty years to two complex variables by Pfister. Both isolating some extremal rational functions associated to a bounded holomorphic function in the unit disk, respectively the…
