Parabolic orbifolds and the dimension of the maximal measure for rational maps.
We study the parameter space of unicritical polynomials . For complex parameters, we prove that for Lebesgue almost every , the map is either hyperbolic or infinitely renormalizable. For real parameters, we prove that for Lebesgue almost every , the map is either hyperbolic, or Collet–Eckmann, or infinitely renormalizable. These results are based on controlling the spacing between consecutive elements in the “principal nest” of parapuzzle pieces.
The preperiodic dynatomic curve is the closure in ℂ² of the set of (c,z) such that z is a preperiodic point of the polynomial with preperiod n and period p (n,p ≥ 1). We prove that each has exactly d-1 irreducible components, which are all smooth and have pairwise transverse intersections at the singular points of . We also compute the genus of each component and the Galois group of the defining polynomial of .
We let be the completion of the field of formal Puiseux series and study polynomials with coefficients in as dynamical systems. We give a complete description of the dynamical and parameter space of cubic polynomials in . We show that cubic polynomial dynamics over and are intimately related. More precisely, we establish that some elements of naturally correspond to the Fourier series of analytic almost periodic functions (in the sense of Bohr) which parametrize (near infinity) the quasiconformal...
We study the pullback maps on cohomology groups for equivariant rational maps (i.e., monomial maps) on toric varieties. Our method is based on the intersection theory on toric varieties. We use the method to determine the dynamical degrees of monomial maps and compute the degrees of the Cremona involution.
