Commuting polynomials and self-similarity

چکیده
Let F be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 and f(x) a polynomial of degree strictly greater than one in F [x]. We show that the number of degree k polynomials with coefficients in F that commute with f (under composition) is either zero or equal to the number of degree one polynomials with coefficients in F that commute with f . As a corollary, we obtain a theorem of E. A. Bertram characterizing those polynomials commuting with a Chebyshev polynomial.

Commuting Polynomials and Polynomials with Same Julia Set
It has been known since Julia that polynomials commuting under composition have the same Julia set. More recently in the works of Baker and Eremenko, Fernández, and Beardon, results were given on the converse question: When do two polynomials have the same Julia set? We give a complete answer to this question and show the exact relation between the two problems of polynomials with the same Juli...
متن کاملCommuting Functions with No Common Fixed Points)
Introduction. Let/and g be continuous functions mapping the unit interval / into itself which commute under functional composition, that is, f(g(x)) = g(f(x)) for all x in /. In 1954 Eldon Dyer asked whether/and g must always have a common fixed point, meaning a point z in / for which f(z) = z=g(z). A. L. Shields posed the same question independently in 1955, as did Lester Dubins in 1956. The p...
متن کاملA Relativistic Conical Function and its Whittaker Limits
In previous work we introduced and studied a function R(a+, a−, c; v, v̂) that is a generalization of the hypergeometric function 2F1 and the Askey–Wilson polynomials. When the coupling vector c ∈ C is specialized to (b, 0, 0, 0), b ∈ C, we obtain a function R(a+, a−, b; v, 2v̂) that generalizes the conical function specialization of 2F1 and the q-Gegenbauer polynomials. The function R is the joi...
متن کاملUnbounded Commuting Operators and Multivariate Orthogonal Polynomials
The multivariate orthogonal polynomials are related to a family of operators whose matrix representations are block Jacobi matrices. A sufficient condition is given so that these operators, in general unbounded, are commuting and selfadjoint. The spectral theorem for these operators is used to establish the existence of the measure of orthogonality in Favard's theorem.
متن کاملSymmetric Fock space and orthogonal symmetric polynomials associated with the Calogero model
Using a similarity transformation that maps the Calogero model into N decoupled quantum harmonic oscillators, we construct a set of mutually commuting conserved operators of the model and their simultaneous eigenfunctions. The simultaneous eigenfunction is a deformation of the symmetrized number state (bosonic state) and forms an orthogonal basis of the Hilbert (Fock) space of the model. This o...
