The aim of this paper is to give two new algorithms, which are elimination free, to find polynomial and rational solutions for a given holonomic system associated to a set of linear differential operators in the Weyl algebra D = k<x_1, ...,…

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…

We give an example of two rational functions with non-equal Julia sets that generate a rational semigroup whose completely invariant Julia set is a closed line segment. We also give an example of polynomials with unequal Julia sets that…

For a rational matrix function R of one variable in general position, the matrix functions R(x)/R(y) and R(y)\R(x) of two variables are considered. For these matrix functions of two variables, representations which are analogous to the…

Any Jordan curve in the complex plane can be approximated arbitrarily well in the Hausdorff topology by Julia sets of polynomials. Finite collections of disjoint Jordan domains can be approximated by the basins of attraction of rational…

We obtain results describing the behavior of the action of rotation generators on polynomials over a commutative ring. We also explore harmonic polynomials in a purely algebraic setting.

We prove that if the multipliers of the repelling periodic orbits of a complex polynomial grow at least like $n^{5 + \epsilon}$, for some $\epsilon > 0$, then the Julia set of the polynomial is locally connected when it is connected. As a…

This paper investigates the location of the zeros of a sequence of polynomials generated by a rational function with a binomial-type denominator. We show that every member of a two-parameter family consisting of such generating functions…

In this article we provide a combinatorial sufficient (and conjecturally, necessary) condition (called $\alpha$-symmetry) for the mating of two postcritically finite polynomials in $\mathcal{S}_1$ to be obstructed. To do this, we study the…

We produce an infinite family of transcendental numbers which, when raised to their own power, become rational. We extend the method, to investigate positive rational solutions to the equation $x^x = \alpha$, where $\alpha$ is a fixed…

Given a quadratic polynomial with rational coefficients, we investigate the existence of consecutive squares in the orbit of a rational point under the iteration of the polynomial. We display three different constructions of $1$-parameter…

We develop several combinatorial notions about laminations, some with clear implications for parameter space. We introduce a simplified class of laminations called finite dynamical laminations (FDL). In order to count FDL, we introduce…

Holomorphic renormalization plays an important role in complex polynomial dynamics. We consider certain conditions guaranteeing that a polynomial which does not admit a polynomial-like connected Julia set still admits an invariant continuum…

Let $f$ be a map with bounded set of singular values for which periodic dynamic rays exist and land. We prove that each non-repelling cycle is associated to a singular orbit which cannot accumulate on any other non-repelling cycle. When $f$…

We prove that Collet-Eckmann rational maps have poly-time computable Julia sets. As a consequence, almost all real quadratic Julia sets are poly-time.

We use Reznick's Theorem for positive homogeneous polynomials to prove an elliptic regularity result for representations of enveloping algebras of Lie algebras. This allows us to relax a technical condition for a sum of squares…

In this short note, we simply collect some known results about representing algebraic cycles by various kind of "nice" (e.g. smooth, local complete intersection, products of local complete intersection) algebraic cycles, up to rational…

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 find all polynomials f,g,h over a field K such that g and h are linear and f(g(x))=h(f(x)). We also solve the same problem for rational functions f,g,h, in case the field K is algebraically closed.

We construct rational all-pass matrix functions with real-valued coefficients for mirroring pairs of complex-conjugated determinantal roots of a rational matrix. This problem appears, for example, when proving the spectral factorization…
