Invariant varieties for polynomial dynamical systems

A Medvedev, T Scanlon - Annals of Mathematics, 2014 - JSTOR
We study algebraic dynamical systems (and, more generally, σ-varieties) Φ:A^n_C→A^n_C
given by coordinatewise univariate polynomials by refining an old theorem of Ritt on …

Current trends and open problems in arithmetic dynamics

R Benedetto, P Ingram, R Jones, M Manes… - Bulletin of the American …, 2019 - ams.org
Arithmetic dynamics is the study of number theoretic properties of dynamical systems. A
relatively new field, it draws inspiration partly from dynamical analogues of theorems and …

Remarks on algebraic dynamics in positive characteristic

J Xie - Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik …, 2023 - degruyter.com
In this paper, we study arithmetic dynamics in arbitrary characteristic, in particular in positive
characteristic. Applying the arithmetic degree and canonical height in positive characteristic …

Linear relations between polynomial orbits

D Ghioca, TJ Tucker, ME Zieve - 2012 - projecteuclid.org
We study the orbits of a polynomial f∈ C [X], namely, the sets {α, f (α), f (f (α)),…} with α∈ C.
We prove that if two nonlinear complex polynomials f, g have orbits with infinite intersection …

Existence of non-preperiodic algebraic points for a rational self-map of infinite order

E Amerik - arXiv preprint arXiv:1007.1635, 2010 - arxiv.org
Let $ X $ be a variety defined over a number field and $ f $ be a dominant rational self-map
of $ X $ of infinite order. We show that $ X $ admits many algebraic points which are not …

The existence of Zariski dense orbits for endomorphisms of projective surfaces

J Xie - Journal of the American Mathematical Society, 2025 - ams.org
Let $ f $ be a dominant endomorphism of a smooth projective surface $ X $ over an
algebraically closed field $\mathbf {k} $ of characteristic $0 $. We prove that if there is no …

A case of the dynamical Mordell–Lang conjecture

RL Benedetto, D Ghioca, P Kurlberg, TJ Tucker - Mathematische Annalen, 2012 - Springer
We prove a special case of a dynamical analogue of the classical Mordell–Lang conjecture.
Specifically, let φ be a rational function with no periodic critical points other than those that …

Around the dynamical mordell-lang conjecture

J Xie - arXiv preprint arXiv:2307.05885, 2023 - arxiv.org
There are three aims of this note. The first one is to report some advances around the
dynamical Mordell-Lang (= DML) conjecture. Second, we generalize some known results …

On Ritt's polynomial decomposition theorems

ME Zieve, P Müller - arXiv preprint arXiv:0807.3578, 2008 - arxiv.org
Ritt studied the functional decomposition of a univariate complex polynomial f into prime
(indecomposable) polynomials, f= u_1 o u_2 o... o u_r. His main achievement was a …
