We consider the population of critical points, generated from the critical point of the master function with no variables, which is associated with the trivial representation of the twisted affine Lie algebra $C_n^{(1)}$. The population is…

We consider the thermodynamic formalism of a complex rational map $f$ of degree at least two, viewed as a dynamical system acting on the Riemann sphere. More precisely, for a real parameter $t$ we study the (non-)existence of equilibrium…

We consider the problem of computing critical points of the restriction of a polynomial map to an algebraic variety. This is of first importance since the global minimum of such a map is reached at a critical point. Thus, these points…

Given any triplet of positive integers $n \geq 2$, $m$ and $k$ such that $n=m+k$, we exhibit a $C^1$ robustly transitive endomorphism of $\mathbb{T}^n$ with persistent critical points in the isotopy class of $F \times Id$, where $F$ is an…

Let K be a number field, let f: P_1 --> P_1 be a nonconstant rational map of degree greater than 1, let S be a finite set of places of K, and suppose that u, w in P_1(K) are not preperiodic under f. We prove that the set of (m,n) in N^2…

We establish a structure theorem for rational maps $f:\overline{\mathbb{C}}\to\overline{\mathbb{C}}$: the pullback metric $f^{*}{\rm d}s_{0}^{2}$ of the standard metric ${\rm d}s_{0}^{2}$ admits a canonical decomposition into finitely many…

Let $X\subset\Bbb C^n$ be an affine variety and $f:X\to\Bbb C^m$ be the restriction to $X$ of a polynomial map $\Bbb C^n\to\Bbb C^m$. In this paper, we construct an affine Whitney stratification of $X$. The set $K(f)$ of stratified…

We give a combinatorial classification for the class of postcritically fixed Newton maps of polynomials as dynamical systems. This lays the foundation for classification results of more general classes of Newton maps. A fundamental…

Let R be rational map. Critical point c is called summable if series $\sum_i\frac{1}{(R^i)'(R(c))}$ is absolutely convergent. Under some topological condition on postcritical set we prove that R can not be structurally stable if summable…

It is conjectured that a rational map whose coefficients are algebraic over $\Q_p$ has no wandering components of the Fatou set. R. Benedetto has shown that any counter example to this conjecture must have a wild recurrent critical point.…

The theory of Hubbard trees provides an effective classification of non-linear post-critically finite polynomial maps from \C to itself. This note will extend this classification to the case of maps from a finite union of copies of \C to…

We consider convex maps f:R^n -> R^n that are monotone (i.e., that preserve the product ordering of R^n), and nonexpansive for the sup-norm. This includes convex monotone maps that are additively homogeneous (i.e., that commute with the…

We provide a natural canonical decomposition of postcritically finite rational maps with non-empty Fatou sets based on the topological structure of their Julia sets. The building blocks of this decomposition are maps where all Fatou…

Many natural and social systems possess power-law memory, and their mathematical modeling requires the application of discrete and continuous fractional calculus. Most of these systems are nonlinear and demonstrate regular and chaotic…

We determine those maps between affine or projective spaces that are linear in the abstract sense of transforming collinear points into collinear points and whose restriction to any line is constant or injective. Our results are extensions…

The critical loci of a map $f:X\to Y$ between smooth schemes over a field $k$ are the locally closed subschemes $\Sigma^i(f)\subseteq X$ where the differential of $f$ has constant rank. We prove that if $f : X\to \mathbb A^r$ is the general…

In this paper we discuss the dynamical structure of the rational family $(f_t)$ given by $$f_t(z)=tz^{m}\Big(\frac{1-z}{1+z}\Big)^{n}\quad(m\ge 2,~t\ne 0).$$ Each map $f_t$ has two super-attracting immediate basins and two free critical…

We present a new method, the Subdivision Construction, for proving the finite model property (the fmp) for broad classes of modal logics and modal rule systems. The construction builds on the framework of stable canonical rules, and…

Assume that there exists a smooth map between two closed manifolds $M^m\to N^k$ with only finitely many cone-like singular points, where $2\leq k\leq m\leq 2k-1$. If $(m,k)\not\in\{(2,2), (4,3), (5,3), (8,5), (16,9)\}$, then $M^m$ admits a…

A determination of the fixed components, base points and irregularity is made for arbitrary numerically effective divisors on any smooth projective rational surface having an effective anticanonical divisor. All of the results are proven…
