A common fixed point theorem for commuting expanding maps on nilmanifolds.
We establish q-analogs for four congruences involving central binomial coefficients. The q-identities necessary for this purpose are shown via the q-WZ method.
A criterion for the existence of fixed point of one-dimensional holomorphic maps is established.
Using a result due to M. Shub, a theorem about the existence of fixed points inside the unit disc for extensions of expanding maps defined on the boundary is established. An application to a special class of rational maps on the Riemann sphere and some considerations on ergodic properties of these maps are also made.
We prove a conjecture on supercongruences for sequences that have come to be known as the Almkvist-Zudilin numbers. Some other (naturally) related family of sequences will be considered in a similar vain.
