Recently continuous rational maps between real algebraic varieties have attracted the attention of several researchers. In this paper we continue the investigation of approximation properties of continuous rational maps with values in…
In this paper, we prove that for any post-critically finite rational map $f$ on the Riemann sphere $\overline{\mathbb{C}}$, and for each sufficiently large integer $n$, there exists a finite and connected graph $G$ in the Julia set of $f$…
In this paper we try to further explore the linear model of the moduli of rational maps. Our attempt yields following results. Let $X\subset \mathbf P^n$ be a generic hypersurface of degree $h$. Let $R_d(X, h)$ denote the open set of the…
In the early 1980's Thurston gave a topological characterization of rational maps whose critical points have finite iterated orbits (\cite{Th,DH1}): given a topological branched covering $F$ of the two sphere with finite critical orbits, if…
Rational quartic spectrahedra in 3-space are semialgebraic convex subsets in $\mathbb{R}^3$ of semidefinite, real symmetric $(4 \times 4)$-matrices, whose boundary admits a rational parameterization. The Zariski closure in…
A complete classification and character formulas for finite-dimensional irreducible representations of the rational Cherednik algebra of type A is given. Less complete results for other types are obtained. Links to the geometry of affine…
Rationally convex topological embeddings of compact surfaces (closed or with boundary) into $\mathbb{C}^2$ are constructed.
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 Thurston map is a branched covering map $f\colon S^2\to S^2$ that is postcritically finite. Mating of polynomials, introduced by Douady and Hubbard, is a method to geometrically combine the Julia sets of two polynomials (and their…
A perfect cuboid is a rectangular parallelepiped with integer edges and integer face diagonals whose space diagonal is also integer. The existence of such cuboids is neither proved, nor disproved. A rational perfect cuboid is a natural…
Permutation rational functions over finite fields have attracted high interest in recent years. However, only a few of them have been exhibited. This article studies a class of permutation rational functions constructed using trace maps on…
These are lecture notes from a course in arithmetic dynamics given in Grenoble in June 2017. The main purpose of this text is to explain how arithmetic equidistribution theory can be used in the dynamics of rational maps on P^1. We first…
We use twisted stable maps to compute the number of rational degree d plane curves having prescribed contacts to a smooth plane cubic.
Recent results of Hassett, Kuznetsov and others pointed out countably many divisors $C_d$ in the open subset of $\mathbb{P}^{55}=\mathbb{P}(H^0(\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^5}(3)))$ parametrizing all cubic 4-folds and lead to the conjecture that…
For a rational number $q$, a rational $D(q)$-$n$-tuple is a set of $n$ distinct nonzero rationals $\{a_1, a_2, \dots, a_n\}$ such that $a_ia_j+q$ is a rational square for all $1 \leqslant i < j \leqslant n$. For every $q$ we find all…
In this paper the notion of rational simple connectedness for the quintic Fano threefold $V_5\subset \mathbb{P}^6$ is studied and unirationality of the moduli spaces $\overline{M}_{0,0}^{\text{bir}}(V_5,d)$, with $d \ge 1$, is proved. Many…
We give necessary and sufficient topological conditions for a simple closed curve on a real rational surface to be approximable by smooth rational curves. We also study approximation by smooth rational curves with given complex…
Since the 1980s, much progress has been done in completely determining which functions share a Julia set. The polynomial case was completely solved in 1995, and it was shown that the symmetries of the Julia set play a central role in…
We investigate under which dynamical conditions the Julia set of a quadratic rational map is a Sierpi\'{n}ski curve
