Projective Equivalence for the Roots of Unity
Let be the collection of roots of unity and
. Two elements
and of are said to be projectively
equivalent if there exists such that
for any . In this article, we will give a
complete classification for the projectively equivalent pairs. As a
consequence, we will show that the maximal length for the nontrivial
projectively equivalent pairs is
Torsion of elliptic curves and unlikely intersections
We study effective versions of unlikely intersections of images of torsion
points of elliptic curves on the projective line.Comment: 19 page
Uniform unlikely intersections for unicritical polynomials
Fix and let be the family of polynomials
parameterized by . In this article, we will show that there
exists a constant such that for any with , the number of such that and are both
preperiodic for is at most
Pairs of elliptic curves with common projective torsion points
For , let be an elliptic curve defined over
, the collection of all torsion points,
and a double cover
identifying . In this article, we will prove that there exist
infinitely many nontrivial pairs and such
that
Dynamics of quadratic polynomials and rational points on a curve of genus
Let . For any , let be the collection of
such that is preperiodic for . In this article,
assuming a well-known conjecture of Flynn, Poonen, and Schaefer, we prove a
uniform result regarding the size of over . In order to
prove it, we need to determine the set of rational points on a specific
non-hyperelliptic curve of genus defined over . We use
Chabauty's method, which requires us to determine the Mordell-Weil rank of the
Jacobian of . We give two proofs that the rank is : an analytic
proof, which is conditional on the BSD rank conjecture for and some
standard conjectures on L-series, and an algebraic proof, which is
unconditional, but relies on the computation of the class groups of two number
fields of degree and degree , respectively. We finally combine the
information obtained from both proofs to provide a numerical verification of
the strong BSD conjecture for
B\"ottcher coordinates at wild superattracting fixed points
Let be a prime number, let with
, and let be the B\"ottcher
coordinate satisfying . Salerno and Silverman
conjectured that the radius of convergence of in
is . In this article, we confirm that this
conjecture is true by showing that it is a special case of our more general
result
