Continuous two-valued discrete-time dynamical systems and actions of two-valued groups

From MaRDI portal





Starting from the well-known fact that a classical discrete dynamical system \((X,f)\), where \(X\) is a topological space and \(f\) is a continuous map from \(X\) into itself, is induced by the action of the semigroup \(\mathbb{N}_0\), namely, \(\Phi(n,x)=f^n(x)\), so \(\Phi(n,\Phi(m,x))=\Phi(n+m,x)\), where \(f^j\) denotes the \(j\)-th iterate of \(f\), and even by the action of the group \(\mathbb{Z}\) when \(f\) is invertible, the author considers the problem of determining, by imposing suitable conditions, whether this fact is also present in the context of \(m\)-valued dynamics.\N\NRecall that a (continuous) \(m\)-valued dynamics \(T\) on a set \(X\) is a (continuous) map \(T:X\rightarrow \mathrm{Sym}^m(X)\), where \(m\geq 1\) is an integer and \(\mathrm{Sym}^{m}(X)\) is the so-called \(m\)-th symmetric power of \(X\), that is, the quotient set of \(X^m\) where two elements \(x,y\) are related if there exists a permutation \(\sigma\) such that \(y_j=x_{\sigma(j)}\) for all \(1\leq j\leq m\). By assuming that the reader is familiar with the meaning of the notions of: strongly invertible dynamics \(T\); \(m\)-valued group; and action on a \(m\)-valued group (consult, for instance, [\textit{V. M. Buchstaber}, Mosc. Math. J. 6, No. 1, 57--84 (2006; Zbl 1129.20045)] or the work by the same author located at a repository of the University of Manchester, namely, \url{https://eprints.maths.manchester.ac.uk/123/1/Multivalued_groups_Leeds--2005.pdf}), we pass to enunciate the main results of the paper, which are established in the particular frame of \(X=\mathbb{C}\) and \(m=2\).\N\NLet \(p_0, p_{1}\) be given polynomials in \(\mathbb{C}[z]\); consider the polynomial \(P(z,w)=w^2 + 2p_{1}(z)w+p_0(z)\), which for a fixed \(z\) can be viewed as the univariate polynomial \(P_z(w)\) of \(w\). Define the mapping \(T:\mathbb{C}\rightarrow \mathrm{Sym}^2(\mathbb{C})\) by \(T(z)=-p_1(z)\pm \sqrt{p_1^2(z)-p_0(z)}\), that is, the set of roots of \(P_z(w)\). It is said that \(T\) is nondegenerate if it cannot be represented as a composition of some mapping \(\mathbb{C}\rightarrow \mathbb{C}^2\) and the projection \(\mathbb{C}^2\rightarrow \mathrm{Sym}^2(\mathbb{C})\), and, for at least one point \(z\in\mathbb{C}\), the multiset \(T(T(z))\) consist of four distinct elements.\N\NWith these preliminaries, the first main result (Theorem 20) establishes that if \(T\) is a nondegenerate dynamics, where \(0\) is the root of odd degree of the radicand, and it is assumed that \(p_0\) has a root of odd multiplicity, then the dynamics is not induced by an action of a \(2\)-valued group. In particular, it can be observed that a necessary (but not sufficient) condition for \(T\) to be induced by an action of a \(2\)-valued group is that the polynomial \(p_0\) be a perfect square. As a corollary, if the polynomial \(p_1\) is linear and \(p_0\) has degree \(2\) with distinct roots, then the corresponding \(2\)-valued dynamics \(T\) is strongly invertible but is not induced by an action of a \(2\)-valued group.\N\NThe second main result of the paper (Theorem 24) presents an example of a non-invertible \(2\)-valued dynamics defined by the action of a \(2\)-valued group. Specifically, the author shows that the \(2\)-valued dynamics \(\widetilde{T}(z)=(1\pm\sqrt{z})^2\), \(z\in\mathbb{C}\), is not strongly invertible, but it is induced by an action of a \(2\)-valued group; to be more precise, the \(2\)-valued group is the set of non-negative integers with the product defined by \(n*m=[n+m, \left|n-m\right|]\) (the \(2\)-valued Buchstaber-Novikov group), and the dynamics \(\widetilde{T}\) is induced by the action \(\nu(n,z)=T_n(z)\), where \(T_n(z)=(n\pm\sqrt{z})^2\), because \(\nu(n*m,z)=\nu(n,\nu(m,z))\).
