This is primarily a survey of the developments in the theory of harmonic maps of finite uniton number (or unitons) which have taken place since the introduction of extended solutions by Uhlenbeck. Such maps include all harmonic maps from…

We consider homogeneous multidimensional continued fraction algorithms, in particular a family of maps which was introduced by F. Schweiger. We prove his conjecture regarding the existence of an absorbing set for those maps. We also…

Let $\MP_d$ denote the space of polynomials $f: \C \to \C$ of degree $d\geq 2$, modulo conjugation by $\Aut(\C)$. Using properties of polynomial trees (as introduced in [DM, math.DS/0608759]), we show that if $f_n$ is a divergent sequence…

We extend the results of our 2020 paper in the Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa, Classe di Scienze. There, we associated to each of an infinite family of triangle Fuchsian groups a one-parameter family of continued fraction…

A fundamental tool in topological data analysis is persistent homology, which allows extraction of information from complex datasets in a robust way. Persistent homology assigns a module over a principal ideal domain to a one-parameter…

Carrots for dessert is the title of a section of the paper `On polynomial-like mappings' by Douady and Hubbard. In that section the authors define a notion of dyadic carrot fields of the Mandelbrot set M and more generally for Mandelbrot…

Renormalizations can be considered as building blocks of complex dynamical systems. This phenomenon has been widely studied for iterations of polynomials of one complex variable. Concerning non-polynomial hyperbolic rational maps, a recent…

The problem of approximating the discrete spectra of families of self-adjoint operators that are merely strongly continuous is addressed. It is well-known that the spectrum need not vary continuously (as a set) under strong perturbations.…

We show that for any set of n distinct points in the complex plane, there exists a polynomial p of degree at most n+1 so that the corresponding Newton map, or even the relaxed Newton map, for p has the given points as a super-attracting…

The eccentric pie chart, a generalization of the traditional pie chart is introduced. An arbitrary point is fixed within the circle and rays are drawn from it. A sector is bounded by a pair of neighboring rays and the arc between them, The…

A simple consequence of a theorem of Franks says that whenever a continuous map, $g$, is homotopic to angle doubling on the circle it is semiconjugate to it. We show that when this semiconjugacy has one disconnected point inverse, then the…

A classic result of Brooks, Smith, Stone and Tutte associates to any finite planar network with distinguished source and sink vertices, a tiling of a rectangle by smaller subrectangles whose aspect ratios are given by the conductances of…

We show that in any family of stunted sawtooth maps, the set of maps whose set of periods is the set of all powers of 2 has no interior point, i.e., the combinatorial description of the boundary of chaos coincides with the topological…

We prove that almost every non-regular real quadratic map is Collet-Eckmann and has polynomial recurrence of the critical orbit (proving a conjecture by Sinai). It follows that typical quadratic maps have excellent ergodic properties, as…

The $\lambda$-perfect maps, a generalization of perfect maps (continuous closed maps with compact fibers) are presented. Using $P_\lambda$-spaces and the concept of $\lambda$-compactness some results regarding $\lambda$-perfect maps will be…

Multidimensional scaling (MDS) is the act of embedding proximity information about a set of $n$ objects in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space. As originally conceived by the psychometric community, MDS was concerned with embedding a fixed set…

We propose global surjectivity theorems of differentiable maps based on second order conditions. Using the homotopy continuation method, we demonstrate that, for a $C^2$ differentiable map from a Hilbert space to a finite-dimensional…

The permanent vs. determinant problem is one of the most important problems in theoretical computer science, and is the main target of geometric complexity theory proposed by Mulmuley and Sohoni. The current best lower bound for the…

We introduce a family of area preserving generalized baker's transformations acting on the unit square and having sharp polynomial rates of mixing for Holder data. The construction is geometric, relying on the graph of a single variable…

A recent preprint (arXiv:1402.2632) introduced a growth procedure for planar maps, whose almost sure limit is "the uniform infinite 3-connected planar map". A classical construction of Brooks, Smith, Stone and Tutte (1940) associates a…
