By means of a nested sequence of some critical pieces constructed by Kozlovski, Shen, and van Strien, and by using a covering lemma recently proved by Kahn and Lyubich, we prove that the Julia set of a polynomial is a Cantor set if and only…

We study the functional equation $A\circ X=X\circ B$, where $A,$ $B$, and $X$ are polynomials over $\mathbb C$. Using previous results of the author about polynomials sharing preimages of compact sets, we show that for given $B$ its…

We find criteria ensuring that a local (holomorphic, real analytic, $C^1$) homeomorphism between the Julia sets of two given rational functions comes from an algebraic correspondence. For example, we show that if there is a local…

In the scope of discrete finite-state models of interacting components, we present a novel algorithm for identifying sets of local states of components whose activity is necessary for the reachability of a given local state. If all the…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in the plane. A geometric graph $G$ on $P$ is said to be {\it locally Gabriel} if for every edge $(u,v)$ in $G$, the disk with $u$ and $v$ as diameter does not contain any points of $P$ that are neighbors of…

This monograph derives direct and concrete relations between colored Jones polynomials and the topology of incompressible spanning surfaces in knot and link complements. Under mild diagrammatic hypotheses that arise naturally in the study…

In the paper 'On the dynamics of polynomial-like mappings' Douady and Hubbard introduced the notion of polynomial-like maps. They used it to identify homeomophic copies of the Mandelbrot set inside the Mandelbrot set. They conjectured that…

Let $g$ be a polynomial automorphism of $\C^2$. We study the Hausdorff dimension and topological dimension of the Julia set of $g$. We show that when $g$ is a hyperbolic mapping, then the Hausdorff dimension of the Julia set is strictly…

We study complex one-dimensional parameter slices in a three-parameter family of rational maps with two free critical points, obtained by imposing the existence of periodic orbits with prescribed multipliers. Using explicit…

We prove that every transcendental meromorphic map f with a disconnected Julia set has a weakly repelling fixed point. This implies that the Julia set of Newton's method for finding zeroes of an entire map is connected. Moreover, extending…

We give a topological description of the space of quadratic rational maps with superattractive two-cycles: its "non-escape locus" M2 (the analog of the Mandelbrot set M) is locally connected, it is the continuous image of M under a…

A spectrally isolated quartet can admit a local two-qubit description at each point in parameter space and still acquire a loop holonomy outside the local subgroup $\mathrm{U}(2)\otimes\mathrm{U}(2)$. We study this question in three…

In this work we will show that the Teichm\"{u}ller distance for all elements of a certain class of generalized polynomial-like maps (the class of off-critically hyperbolic generalized polynomial-like maps) is actually a distance, as in the…

We investigate completed interlacing of zeros for pairs of polynomial sequences that fail to interlace by exactly two points. Using a general mixed recurrence relation, we identify a quadratic polynomial whose zeros serve as the two extra…

We study locally truncated geometries that are parapolar spaces locally of type A_{n-1,j}(K) with n>6 and j=3,4. Residually connected sheaves over these geometries are constructed. It is proved that these geometries are residually connected…

For a rational function $R$, let $N_R(z)=z-\frac{R(z)}{R'(z)}.$ Any such $N_R$ is referred to as a Newton map. We determine all the rational functions $R$ for which $N_R$ has exactly two attracting fixed points, one of which is an…

A generalization of the filled-in Julia set is presented using the multicomplex numbers and an algorithm is presented to visualize these sets in the tridimensional space. There are many ways to visualize these higher dimensional fractals…

The invariant class under parabolic and near-parabolic renormalizations constructed by Inou and Shishikura has been proved to be extremely useful in recent years. It leads to several important progresses on the dynamics of certain…

It has been previously shown by two of the authors that some polynomial Julia sets are algorithmically impossible to draw with arbitrary magnification. On the other hand, for a large class of examples the problem of drawing a picture has…

A locally irregular graph is a graph whose adjacent vertices have distinct degrees, a regular graph is a graph where each vertex has the same degree and a locally regular graph is a graph where for every two adjacent vertices u, v, their…
