The matching problem for a given Jordan curve in the complex plane asks to find two nonconstant functions, one analytic in the bounded complementary component of the curve and the other analytic in the unbounded complementary component of…
It has been known since the work of A.A. Kirillov that any smooth Jordan curve in the plane can be represented by its so-called fingerprint, an orientation preserving smooth diffeomorphism of the unit circle onto itself. In this paper, we…
A shape in the plane is an equivalence class of sufficiently smooth Jordan curves, where two curves are equivalent if one can be obtained from the other by a translation and a scaling. The fingerprint of a shape is an equivalence of…
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 prove that every function that is meromorphic on the closure of an analytic Jordan domain and sufficiently well-behaved on the boundary is conformally equivalent to a rational map whose degree is smallest possible. We also show that the…
For a non-constant complex rational function $P$, the lemniscate of $P$ is defined as the set of points $z\in \mathbb C$ such that $\vert P(z)\vert =1$. The lemniscate of $P$ coincides with the set of real points of the algebraic curve…
We prove that lemniscates (i.e., sets of the form $|P(z)|=1$ where $P$ is a complex polynomial) are irreducible real algebraic curves.
Let $f$ be a meromorphic function with simply connected domain $G\subset\mathbb{C}$, and let $\Gamma\subset\mathbb{C}$ be a smooth Jordan curve. We call a component of $f^{-1}(\Gamma)$ in $G$ a $\Gamma$-$pseudo$-$lemniscate$ of $f$. In this…
A real algebraic variety W of dimension m is said to be uniformly rational if each of its points has a Zariski open neighborhood which is biregularly isomorphic to a Zariski open subset of R^m. Let l be any nonnegative integer. We prove…
Let $A$ be a rational function. For any decomposition of $A$ into a composition of rational functions $A=U\circ V$ the rational function $\widetilde A=V\circ U$ is called an elementary transformation of $A$, and rational functions $A$ and…
We completely describe the components of expected dimension of the Hilbert Scheme of rational curves of fixed degree $k$ in the moduli space ${\rm SU}_{C}(r,L)$ of semistable vector bundles of rank $r$ and determinant $L$ on a curve $C$. We…
We prove some basic theorems concerning lemniscate configurations in an Euclidean space of dimension $ n \geq 3$. Lemniscates are defined as follows. Given m points $w_j $ in $\mathbb R^n$, consider the function $F(x)$ which is the product…
Given a finite simplicial complex $\mathcal{K}$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and a real algebraic variety $Y,$ by a $\mathcal{K}$-regular map $|\mathcal{K}|\rightarrow Y$ we mean a continuous map whose restriction to every simplex in $\mathcal{K}$ is…
Given a bounded n-connected domain in the plane bounded by non-intersecting Jordan curves, and given one point on each boundary curve, L. Bieberbach proved that there exists a proper holomorphic mapping of the domain onto the unit disc that…
We investigate the geometry of a random rational lemniscate $\Gamma$, the level set $\{|r(z)|=1\}$ on the Riemann sphere of the modulus of a random rational function $r$. We assign a probability distribution to the space of rational…
A lemniscate is a curve defined by two foci, F1 and F2. If the distance between the focal points of F1 - F2 is 2a (a: constant), then any point P on the lemniscate curve satisfy the equation PF1 PF2 = a^2. Jacob Bernoulli first described…
The dynamics of all quadratic Newton maps of rational functions are completely described. The Julia set of such a map is found to be either a Jordan curve or totally disconnected. It is proved that no Newton map with degree at least three…
For a given elliptic curve, its associated $L$-function evaluated at $1$ is closely related to its real period. In this article, we generalize this principle to a rational curve. We count the rational points over all finite fields and use…
A polynomial lemniscate is a curve in the complex plane defined by $\{z \in \mathbb{C}:|p(z)|=t\}$. Erd\"os, Herzog, and Piranian posed the extremal problem of determining the maximum length of a lemniscate $\Lambda=\{ z \in…
In this note, we study polynomial and rational lemniscates as trajectories of related quadratic differentials. Many classic results can be then proved easily...
