The dynamical degrees of a rational map$f:X{\dashrightarrow}X$are fundamental invariants describing the rate of growth of the action of iterates of$f$on the cohomology of$X$. When$f$has non-empty indeterminacy set, these quantities can be very difficult to determine. We study rational maps$f:X^{N}{\dashrightarrow}X^{N}$, where$X^{N}$is isomorphic to the Deligne–Mumford compactification$\overline{{\mathcal{M}}}_{0,N+3}$. We exploit the stratified structure of$X^{N}$to provide new examples of rational maps, in arbitrary dimension, for which the action on cohomology behaves functorially under iteration. From this, all dynamical degrees can be readily computed (given enough book-keeping and computing time). In this paper, we explicitly compute all of the dynamical degrees for all such maps$f:X^{N}{\dashrightarrow}X^{N}$, where$\text{dim}(X^{N})\leq 3$and the first dynamical degrees for the mappings where$\text{dim}(X^{N})\leq 5$. These examples naturally arise in the setting of Thurston’s topological characterization of rational maps.

This chapter deals with the question of local connectivity of the Julia set of polynomials and rational maps. It discusses when the Julia set of a rational map is considered connected but not locally connected. The question of the local connectivity of the Julia set has been studied extensively for quadratic polynomials, but there is still no complete characterization of when a quadratic polynomial has a connected and locally connected Julia set. This chapter thus proposes some conjectures and develops a model of non-locally connected Julia sets in the case of infinitely renormalizable quadratic polynomials. This model presents the structure of what the post-critical set in that setting should be.

AbstractLet {\mathbb{K}} be an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic, X and Y irreducible possibly singular algebraic varieties over {\mathbb{K}}. Let {f:X\vdash X} and {g:Y\vdash Y} be dominant correspondences, and {\pi:X\dashrightarrow Y} a dominant rational map which semi-conjugate f and g, i.e. so that {\pi\circ f=g\circ\pi}. We define relative dynamical degrees {\lambda_{p}(f|\pi)\geq 1} for any {p=0,\dots,\dim(X)-\dim(Y)}. These degrees measure the relative growth of positive algebraic cycles, satisfy a product formula when Y is smooth and g is a multiple of a rational map, and are birational invariants. More generally, a weaker product formula is proven for more general semi-conjugacies, and for any generically finite semi-conjugacy {(\varphi,\psi)} from {\pi_{2}:(X_{2},f_{2})\rightarrow(Y_{2},g_{2})} to {\pi_{1}:(X_{1},f_{1})\rightarrow(Y_{1},g_{1})} we have {\lambda_{p}(f_{1}|\pi_{1})\geq\lambda_{p}(f_{2}|\pi_{2})} for all p. Many of our results are new even when {\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{C}}. Self-correspondences are abundant, even on varieties having not many self rational maps, hence these results can be applied in many situations. In the last section of the paper, we will discuss recent new applications of this to algebraic dynamics, in particular to pullback on l-adic cohomology groups in positive characteristics.

In this paper, we study the dynamics of the family of rational maps with two parameters $$\begin{eqnarray}f_{a,b}(z)=z^{n}+\frac{a^{2}}{z^{n}-b}+\frac{a^{2}}{b},\end{eqnarray}$$ where $n\geq 2$ and $a,b\in \mathbb{C}^{\ast }$. We give a characterization of the topological properties of the Julia set and the Fatou set of $f_{a,b}$ according to the dynamical behavior of the orbits of the free critical points.

Let [Formula: see text] be an integral domain with quotient field [Formula: see text]. Call an overring [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] a subring of [Formula: see text] containing [Formula: see text] as a subring. A family [Formula: see text] of overrings of [Formula: see text] is called a defining family of [Formula: see text], if [Formula: see text]. Call an overring [Formula: see text] a sublocalization of [Formula: see text], if [Formula: see text] has a defining family consisting of rings of fractions of [Formula: see text]. Sublocalizations and their intersections exhibit interesting examples of semistar or star operations [D. D. Anderson, Star operations induced by overrings, Comm. Algebra 16 (1988) 2535–2553]. We show as a consequence of our work that domains that are locally finite intersections of Prüfer [Formula: see text]-multiplication (respectively, Mori) sublocalizations turn out to be Prüfer [Formula: see text]-multiplication domains (PvMDs) (respectively, Mori); in particular, for the Mori domain case, we reobtain a special case of Théorème 1 of [J. Querré, Intersections d’anneaux intègers, J. Algebra 43 (1976) 55–60] and Proposition 3.2 of [N. Dessagnes, Intersections d’anneaux de Mori — exemples, Port. Math. 44 (1987) 379–392]. We also show that, more than the finite character of the defining family, it is the finite character of the star operation induced by the defining family that causes the interesting results. As a particular case of this theory, we provide a purely algebraic approach for characterizing P vMDs as a subclass of the class of essential domains (see also Theorem 2.4 of [C. A. Finocchiaro and F. Tartarone, On a topological characterization of Prüfer [Formula: see text]-multiplication domains among essential domains, preprint (2014), arXiv:1410.4037]).

We generalize Bertram's work on rank two vector bundles to an irreducible projective nodal curve C. We use the natural rational map [Formula: see text] defined by [Formula: see text] to study a compactification [Formula: see text] of the moduli space [Formula: see text] of semi-stable vector bundles of rank 2 and determinant L on C. In particular, we resolve the indeterminancy of ϕL in the case deg L = 3,4 via a sequence of three blow-ups with smooth centers.

Abstract Dendrimers are large and complex molecules with very well defined chemical structures. More importantly, dendrimers are highly branched organic macromolecules with successive layers or generations of branch units surrounding a central core. Topological indices are numbers associated with molecular graphs for the purpose of allowing quantitative structure-activity relationships. These topological indices correlate certain physico-chemical properties such as the boiling point, stability, strain energy, and others, of chemical compounds. In this article, we determine hyper-Zagreb index, first multiple Zagreb index, second multiple Zagreb index, and Zagreb polynomials for hetrofunctional dendrimers, triangular benzenoids, and nanocones.
