Hyperbolicity and Bifurcations in holomorphic families of polynomial skew products
Full text linkWe study holomorphic families of polynomial skew products, i.e., polynomial endomorphisms of of the form that extend to holomorphic endomorphisms of . We prove that stability in the sense of [Berteloot, Bianchi, and Dupont, 2018] preserves hyperbolicity within such families, and give a complete classification of the hyperbolic components that are the analogue, in this setting, of the complement of the Mandelbrot set for the family . We also precisely describe the geometry of the bifurcation locus and current near the boundary of the parameter space. One of our tools is an asymptotic equidistribution property for the bifurcation current. This is established in the general setting of families of endomorphisms of , and is the first equidistribution result of this kind for holomorphic dynamical systems in dimension larger than one
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
SUMMABILITY CONDITION AND RIGIDITY FOR FINITE TYPE MAPS
No full textInternational audienceWe extend a series of results due to Makienko, Dominguez and Sienra on the rigidity of some holomorphic dynamical systems with summable critical values to the setting of finite type maps. We also recover a shorter proof of a transversality theorem of Levin. Our methods are based on the deformation theory introduced by Epstein
DYNAMICS OF POST-CRITICALLY FINITE MAPS IN HIGHER DIMENSION
No full textInternational audienceWe study the dynamics of post-critically finite endomorphisms of P^k(C). We prove that post-critically finite endomorphisms are always post-critically finite all the way down under a mild regularity condition on the post-critical set. We study the eigenvalues of periodic points of post-critically finite endomorphisms. Then, under a weak transversality condition and assuming Kobayashi hyperbolicity of the complement of the post-critical set, we prove that the only possible Fatou components are super-attracting basins, thus partially extending to any dimension a result of Fornaess-Sibony and Rong holding in the case k = 2
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Infinitesimal dynamical Teichmüller theory wandering domains
No full textSoit f une fraction rationnelle de degré d au moins 2. McMullen et Sullivan ont introduit l'espace de Teichmüller dynamique Teich(f), qui est une variété complexe de dimension au plus 2d-2 et qui paramétrise la classe de conjugaison quasiconforme de f dans l'espace des modules ratd via une application holomorphe F allant de Teich(f) dans ratd.Nous donnons une nouvelle construction élémentaire de Teich(f), et nous prouvonsque F est une immersion, ce qui répond à une question posée par McMullen et Sullivan.Ce dernier résultat nous permet d'obtenir des preuves simplifiées de résultats dus à Makienko et Levin sur la rigidité de f sous une hypothèse d'expansivité le long de l'orbite critique. Dans une seconde partie, nous construisons une famille d'exemples d'endomorphismes polynômiaux de P^2(C) ayant un domaine errant. Nos exemples sont des produits fibrés, de la forme (z,w) -> ( f(z) + aw, g(w)). De plus, on construira des exemples à coefficients réels où le domaine errant intersectera R^2.Let f be a rational map of degree d at last 2. McMullen and Sullivan introduced the dynamical Teichmüller space Teich(f), which is a complex manifold of dimension at most 2d-2. It paramtrizes the quasiconformal conjugacy class of f in the moduli space ratdvia a holomorphic map F from Teich(f) to ratd. We give a new and elementary construction of Teich(f), and we prove that the parametrization F is an immersion, answering a question of McMullen and Sullivan. This last result enables us to give simplified proofs of rigidity results of Makienko and Levin under the assumption of expansion along the critical orbit. In a second part, we construct a family of examples of polynomial endomorphisms of¨P^2(C) with a wandering domain. Our examples are skew-products, of the form (z,w) -> (f(z)+aw, g(w)). Moreover, we will construct examples with real coefficients where the wandering domain intersects R^2
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
