First, for the family P_{n,c}(z) = z^n + c, we show that the geometric limit of the Mandelbrot sets M_n(P) as n tends to infinity exists and is the closed unit disk, and that the geometric limit of the Julia sets J(P_{n,c}) as n tends to…
On subsets E of the Mandelbrot set M, homeomorphisms are constructed by quasi-conformal surgery. When the dynamics of quadratic polynomials is changed piecewise by a combinatorial construction, a general theorem yields the corresponding…
The goal of this paper is to accurately describe the maximal zero-free region of the independence polynomial for graphs of bounded degree, for large degree bounds. In previous work with de Boer, Guerini and Regts it was demonstrated that…
We obtain upper bounds, independent of the ambient dimension, for the number of realizable zero-nonzero patterns and (over ordered fields) sign conditions of a finite family of polynomials $\mathcal P$ restricted to an algebraic subset $V$…
We give a combinatorial definition of "core entropy" for quadratic polynomials as the growth exponent of the number of certain precritical points in the Julia set (those that separate the $\alpha$ fixed point from its negative). This notion…
In this article, we obtain upper bounds on the number of irreducible factors of some classes of polynomials having integer coefficients, which in particular yield some of the well known irreducibility criteria. For devising our results, we…
We prove an asymptotically tight bound (asymptotic with respect to the number of polynomials for fixed degrees and number of variables) on the number of semi-algebraically connected components of the realizations of all realizable sign…
Given $C^2$ infinitely renormalizable unimodal maps $f$ and $g$ with a quadratic critical point and the same bounded combinatorial type, we prove that they are $C^{1+\alpha}$ conjugate along the closure of the corresponding forward orbits…
We continue the study of quantum A-polynomials -- equations for knot polynomials with respect to their coloring (representation-dependence) -- as the relations between different links, obtained by hanging additional ``simple'' components on…
This paper extends the decorated Teichm\"uller theory developed before for punctured surfaces to the setting of ``bordered'' surfaces, i.e., surfaces with boundary, and there is non-trivial new structure discovered. The main new result…
In this paper we prove the following: Take any "small Mandelbrot set" and zoom in a neighborhood of a parabolic or Misiurewicz parameter in it, then we can see a quasiconformal image of a Cantor Julia set which is a perturbation of a…
For the study of the 2-dimensional space of cubic polynomials, J. Milnor considers the complex 1-dimensional slice S_n of the cubic polynomials which have a super-attracting orbit of period n. He gives in [M4] a detailed conjectural picture…
We prove that if two non-renormalizable cubic Siegel polynomials with bounded type rotation numbers are combinatorially equivalent, then they are also conformally equivalent. As a consequence, we show that in the one-parameter slice of…
We study the parameter space structure of degree $d \ge 3$ one complex variable polynomials as dynamical systems acting on $\C$. We introduce and study {\it straightening maps}. These maps are a natural higher degree generalization of the…
We consider the "Mandelbrot set" $M$ for pairs of complex linear maps, introduced by Barnsley and Harrington in 1985 and studied by Bousch, Bandt and others. It is defined as the set of parameters $\lambda$ in the unit disk such that the…
We study orthogonal polynomial systems arising from general pre-Hilbert inner products on polynomial spaces, beyond the classical framework of measures. To each such inner product we associate a canonical Laplacian defined from an abstract…
For a class of polynomial maps of one variable with a parabolic fixed points and degrees bigger than $21$, the parabolic renormalization is introduced based on Fatou coordinates and horn maps, and a type of maps which are invariant under…
Let $K$ be a number field. Let $S$ be a finite set of places of $K$ containing all the archimedean ones. Let $R_S$ be the ring of $S$-integers of $K$. In the present paper we consider endomorphisms of $\pro$ of degree 2, defined over $K$,…
We extend uniform pseudo-Siegel bounds for neutral quadratic polynomials to $\psi^\bullet$-quadratic-like Siegel maps. In this form, the bounds are compatible with the $\psi$-quadratic-like renormalization theory and are easily transferable…
For a given graph whose edges are labeled with general real numbers, we consider the set of functions from the vertex set into the Euclidean plane such that the distance between the images of neighbouring vertices is equal to the…
