# Research - Arithmetic Dynamics

# Understand the problem

Arithmetic dynamics is a field that amalgamates two areas of mathematics, discrete dynamical systems and number theory. Classically, discrete dynamics refers to the study of the iteration of self-maps of the complex plane or real line. Arithmetic dynamics is the study of the number-theoretic properties of integer, rational, p-adic, and/or algebraic points under repeated application of a polynomial or rational function. A fundamental goal is to describe arithmetic properties in terms of underlying geometric structures.
Given an endomorphism $f$ on a set $X$ ; $f:X\to X$
a point x in X is called preperiodic point if it has finite forward orbit under iteration of $f$ with mathematical notation if there exist distinct $n$ and $m$ such that
$f^{n}(x)=f^{m}(x)$ (i.e it is eventually periodic'').
We are trying to classify for which maps are there not as many preperiodic points as their should be in dimension 1. It is a more precise version of I.N. Baker's theorem which states Let P be a polynomial of degree at least two and suppose that P has $\textbf{\underline{no}}$ periodic points of period n. Then n=2 and P is conjugate to $z^2-z$.''.

# How it works

• Training bursts (3 to 4 weekly training sessions once every two months)
• Weekly presentation/problem solving (moderated)
• Students are required to present at least once per month
• Students are required to submit an expository article once every 6 months

# Some possible questions

Existence of (pre)Periodic Points. These are the topics expanding on I.N. Baker’s (1) Is there a lower bound on the number of minimal periodic points of period n in terms
of the degree of the map?
(2) What about Morton’s criteria for using generalized dynatomic polynomials (i.e.,
preperiodic points)? i.e., find a polynomial which vanishes at the c values where
there is collapse of (m, n) periodic points.
(3) What existence of periodic points for fields with characteristic p > 0? (such as finite
(4) In higher dimensions, are there always periodic points of every period? See Ivashkovich.
What about morphisms versus rational maps?

(5) John Doyle https://arxiv.org/abs/1501.06821 – a related topic but not quite the
same
(6) https://arxiv.org/abs/1703.04172 – perhaps related to the question in characteristic p > 0.
(7) On fixed points of rational self-maps of complex projective plane - Ivashkovich http:
//arxiv.org/abs/0911.5084 Its the only goal is to provide examples of rational selfmaps of complex projective plane of any given degree without (holomorphic) fixed
points. This makes a contrast with the situation in one dimension.
