The Arakelov-Zhang pairing and Julia sets
Andrew Bridy, Matt Larson
The Arakelov-Zhang pairing is a measure of the "dynamical distance" between two rational maps and defined over a number field . It is defined in term…
Finite index theorems for iterated Galois groups of cubic polynomials
Andrew Bridy, Thomas J. Tucker
Let be a number field or a function field. Let be a rational function of degree , and let . For all , th…
The Generalized Nagell-Ljunggren Problem: Powers with Repetitive Representations
Andrew Bridy, Robert J. Lemke Oliver, Arlo Shallit +1
We consider a natural generalization of the Nagell-Ljunggren equation to the case where the qth power of an integer y, for q >= 2, has a base-b representation that consists of a le…
On the Number of Distinct Functional Graphs of Affine-Linear Transformations over Finite Fields
Eric Bach, Andrew Bridy
We study the number of non-isomorphic functional graphs of affine-linear transformations from (\F_q)^n to itself, and we prove upper and lower bounds on this quantity for n large.…
