AbstractWe study the postcritically finite maps within the moduli space of complex polynomial dynamical systems. We characterize rational curves in the moduli space containing an infinite number of postcritically finite maps, in terms of critical orbit relations, in two settings: (1) rational curves that are polynomially parameterized; and (2) cubic polynomials defined by a given fixed point multiplier. We offer a conjecture on the general form of algebraic subvarieties in the moduli space of rational maps on ${ \mathbb{P} }^{1} $ containing a Zariski-dense subset of postcritically finite maps.

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a hyperbolic component of quadratic rational maps possessing two distinct attracting cycles. We show that $\mathcal{H}$ has compact closure in moduli space if and only if neither attractor is a fixed point.

We give a combinatorial classification for the class of postcritically fixed Newton maps of polynomials as dynamical systems. This lays the foundation for classification results of more general classes of Newton maps. A fundamental ingredient is the proof that for every Newton map (postcritically finite or not) every connected component of the basin of an attracting fixed point can be connected to$\infty$through a finite chain of such components.

AbstractWe give a correction to the assumption of Theorems 1.12 and 2.6 in the paper [H. Sumi. Semi-hyperbolic fibered rational maps and rational semigroups. Ergod. Th. & Dynam. Sys.26 (2006), 893–922].

In this paper, based on previous results on AND-OR parallel dynamical systems over directed graphs, we give a more general pattern of local functions that also provides fixed point systems. Moreover, by considering independent sets, this pattern is also generalized to get systems in which periodic orbits are only fixed points or 2-periodic orbits. The results obtained are also applicable to homogeneous systems. On the other hand, we study the periodic structure of parallel dynamical systems given by the composition of two parallel systems, which are conjugate under an invertible map in which the inverse is equal to the original map. This allows us to prove that the composition of any parallel system on a maxterm (or minterm) Boolean function and its conjugate one by means of the complement map is a fixed point system, when the associated graph is undirected. However, when the associated graph is directed, we demonstrate that the corresponding composition may have points of any period, even if we restrict ourselves to the simplest maxterm OR and the simplest minterm AND. In spite of this general situation, we prove that, when the associated digraph is acyclic, the composition of OR and AND is a fixed point system.

AbstractThe moduli space $\M _{g,n}$ of n-pointed stable curves of genus g is stratified by the topological type of the curves being parameterized: the closure of the locus of curves with k nodes has codimension k. The one-dimensional components of this stratification are smooth rational curves called F-curves. These are believed to determine all ample divisors. F-conjecture A divisor on $\M _{g,n}$ is ample if and only if it positively intersects theF-curves. In this paper, proving the F-conjecture on $\M _{g,n}$ is reduced to showing that certain divisors on $\M _{0,N}$ for N⩽g+n are equivalent to the sum of the canonical divisor plus an effective divisor supported on the boundary. Numerical criteria and an algorithm are given to check whether a divisor is ample. By using a computer program called the Nef Wizard, written by Daniel Krashen, one can verify the conjecture for low genus. This is done on $\M _g$ for g⩽24, more than doubling the number of cases for which the conjecture is known to hold and showing that it is true for the first genera such that $\M _g$ is known to be of general type.
