Exponential-polynomial equations and dynamical return sets

Publication date 25 September 2014

Abstract: We show that for each finite sequence of algebraic integers

a l p h a_{1}, ..., a l p h a_{n}

and polynomials

P_{1} (x_{1}, ..., x_{n}; y_{1}, ..., y_{n}), ..., P_{r} (x_{1}, ..., x_{n}; y_{1}, ..., y_{n})

with algebraic integer coefficients, there are a natural number

N

,

n

commuting endomorphisms

P h i_{i} : G m^{N} o G m^{N}

of the

N^{e} x t t h

Cartesian power of the multiplicative group, a point

P i n G m^{N} (Q Q)

, and an algebraic subgroup

G l e q G m^{N}

so that the return set

(e l l_{1}, ..., e l l_{n}) i n N N^{n} : P h i_{1}^{c i r c e l l_{1}} c i r c ... c i r c P h i_{n}^{c i r c e l l_{n}} (P) i n G (Q Q)

is identical to the set of solutions to the given exponential-polynomial equation:

(e l l_{1}, ..., e l l_{n}) i n N N^{n} : P_{1} (e l l_{1}, ..., e l l_{n}; a l p h a_{1}^{e l l_{1}}, ..., a l p h a_{n}^{e l l_{n}}) = ... = P_{r} (e l l_{1}, ..., e l l_{n}; a l p h a_{1}^{e l l_{1}}, ..., a l p h a_{n}^{e l l_{n}}) = 0
