Previous works have been devoted to the study of two-dimensional noninvertible maps, obtained using a coupling between one-dimensional logistic maps. This paper is devoted to the study of a specific one, in order to complete previous…

Given a rational map $f:\widehat{\mathbb C}\to\widehat{\mathbb C}$ on the Riemann sphere, we define $\mathrm{Deck}(f)$ to be the group of M\"obius transformations $\mu$ satisfying $f \circ \mu = f$. In this note, we consider the groups…

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…

Let $f$ be a rational map with degree at least two. We prove that $f$ has at least $2$ disjoint and infinite critical orbits in the Julia set if it has a Herman ring. This result is sharp in the following sense: there exists a cubic…

In this paper we give a new prove of hyperbolicity of renormalization of critical circle maps using the formalism of almost-commuting pairs. We extend renormalization to two-dimensional dissipative maps of the annulus which are small…

In this paper, we consider rational maps whose source is a product of two subvarieties, each one being embedded in a projective space. Our main objective is to investigate birationality criteria for such maps. First, a general criterion is…

In this paper we build a geometric model for the renormalisation of irrationally indifferent fixed points of holomorphic maps with two critical points. The model incorporates arithmetic properties of the rotation number at the fixed point,…

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…

Let $S$ be the collection of quadratic polynomial maps, and degree $2$-rational maps whose automorphism groups are isomorphic to $C_2$ defined over the rational field. Assuming standard conjectures of Poonen and Manes on the period length…

We find all quadratic post-critically finite (PCF) rational maps defined over the rationals. We describe an algorithm to search for possibly PCF maps. Using the algorithm, we eliminate all but twelve rational maps, all of which are…

Rational maps on the Riemann sphere occupy a distinguished niche in the general theory of smooth dynamical systems. First, rational maps are complex-analytic, so a broad spectrum of techniques can contribute to their study (quasiconformal…

A study of real quadratic maps with real critical points, emphasizing the effective construction of critically finite maps with specified combinatorics. We discuss the behavior of the Thurston algorithm in obstructed cases, and in one…

Rational double points are the simplest surface singularities. In this essay we will be mainly concerned with the geometry of the exceptional set corresponding to the resolution of a rational double point. We will derive the classification…

Let $f:M\rightarrow M$ be a biholomorphisms on two--dimensional a complex manifold, and let $X\subseteq M$ be a compact $f$--invariant set such that $f|X$ is asymptotically dissipative and without sinks periodic points. We introduce a…

Let $f$ be a degree $d$ bicritical rational map with critical point set $\mathcal{C}_f$ and critical value set $\mathcal{V}_f$. Using the group $\textrm{Deck}(f^k)$ of deck transformations of $f^k$, we show that if $g$ is a bicritical…

We extend Thurston's combinatorial criterion for postcritically finite rational maps to a class of rational maps with bounded type Siegel disks. The combinatorial characterization of this class of Siegel rational maps plays a special role…

This paper is part of a program to understand the parameter spaces of dynamical systems generated by meromorphic functions with finitely many singular values. We give a full description of the parameter space for a specific family based on…

We study critical orbits and bifurcations within the moduli space of quadratic rational maps on $\mathbb{P}^1$. We focus on the family of curves, $Per_1(\lambda)$ for $\lambda$ in $\mathbb{C}$, defined by the condition that each $f\in…

We consider infinitely renormalizable unimodal mappings with topological type which is periodic under renormalization. We study the limiting behavior of fixed points of the renormalization operator as the order of the critical point…

The iteration of rational maps is well-understood in dimension 1 but less so in higher dimensions. We study some maps on spaces of matrices which present a weak complexity with respect to the ring structure. First we give some properties of…
