Iterated monodromy group

In geometric group theory and dynamical systems the iterated monodromy group of a covering map is a group describing the monodromy action of the fundamental group on all iterations of the covering. A single covering map between spaces is therefore used to create a tower of coverings, by placing the covering over itself repeatedly. In terms of the Galois theory of covering spaces, this construction on spaces is expected to correspond to a construction on groups. The iterated monodromy group provides this construction, and it is applied to encode the combinatorics and symbolic dynamics of the covering, and provide examples of . (Wikipedia).

Abstract: In 1978 Roger Apéry proved irrationality of zeta(3) approximating it by ratios of terms of two sequences of rational numbers both satisfying the same recurrence relation. His study of the growth of denominators in these sequences involved complicated explicit formulas for both vi

What is the definition of a monomial and polynomials with examples

👉 Learn how to classify polynomials based on the number of terms as well as the leading coefficient and the degree. When we are classifying polynomials by the number of terms we will focus on monomials, binomials, and trinomials, whereas classifying polynomials by the degree will focus on

This lecture is part of an online course on categories. We define strict monoidal categories, and then show how to relax the definition by introducing coherence conditions to define (non-strict) monoidal categories. We finish by defining symmetric monoidal categories and showing how super

Francis Brown - 4/4 Mixed Modular Motives and Modular Forms for SL_2 (\Z)

In the `Esquisse d'un programme', Grothendieck proposed studying the action of the absolute Galois group upon the system of profinite fundamental groups of moduli spaces of curves of genus g with n marked points. Around 1990, Ihara, Drinfeld and Deligne independently initiated the study of
