Arithmetic and Complex Dynamics

The goal of sage-dynamics is to improve the open source mathematical software Sage for computer exploration in dynamical systems and foster code sharing between researchers in this area. This portion focuses on the Arithmetic (Number Theoretic) and Complex aspects of dynamical systems.

Road Map

The arithmetic and complex dynamics functionality in Sage is currently in its infancy. A significant amount of functionality was developped at the ICERM semester in Spring 2012 and now we have started the process of moving this into Sage through a series of patches (trac tickets). Most of that functionality is current in experimental for that been greatly expanded upon at Sage Days 55. Much remains to be done. Below you will find a road map of what has been implemented, what is in the process of being implemented, and ideas for future functionality.

  Area	Description	Difficulty	Priority
  Products of Projective Spaces	Rational Points on Subschemes	Implement an efficient rational points search on subschemes. Currently it is done by enumeration unless dim is 0
  Polynomials	specific functionality for regular polynomial endomorphisms of P^N
  Canonical heights	implement Well's algorithm that does not require factoring the resultant
  Rational Maps	Dynamical degree(s), arithmetic degree
  	periodic and preperiodic points (projective and affine)
  	Q.is_iterate_defined(f,n)
  	Q.hits_indeterminancy_locus(f,n)
  	add noramlize parameter to nth_iterate_map
  	Q.height_iterate_sequence
  	cyclegraph
  Numerical Precision	implement Algorithm 4 from "Computing algebraic numbers of bounded height" by Doyle-Krumm to use in elements_of_bounded_height for number fields. This is a high priority since currently the precision has an effect on the output. Algorithm 4 is able to take precision into account.	Hard	High
  	use real interval field for floating point computations (in heights and possibly rational preperiodic point functions)	medium
  Attracting Cycles	Check if for a given algebraic parameter c the map z -> z^2 + c is hyperbolic... and more generally for rational maps of P1 determine the existence (and list) of attracting cycles
  Non-Integral Domains	Make projective space work over non-integral domains. One method would be to make a valid point on which is valid for modulo all maximal ideals
  Documentation	Write Tutorials
  Complex Dynamics	Implement Thurston's algorithm. More precisely, develop an efficient method to determine if there is a Thurston obstruction. (Epstein, ICERM)
  	Plotting of Mandlebrot/Julia sets. There are a number of programs that give excellent graphical feedback of complex dynamics behavior. It would be helpful to either interface Sage with an existing library, or implement so of this directly in Sage
  Dynamical Zeta Functions	Compute the dynamical zeta function
  Miscellaneous	Implement a function which takes as input to rational functions f(x) and g(x), and determines whether or not f^n=g^m for some integers n,m \geq 1. (Zieve, ICERM)
  	fix inheritance structure in generic/morphism/py. see tracc 14711
  	implement more general schemes - charts, morphisms
  	color code cyclegraph. mark critical points for pcf potrait. perhaps color code points in intermediate fields for finite fields
  Coercion	some kind of coercion model: if you have a map defined over QQ should you be able to take the image of a point over CC (i.e. somewhere you have a well defined embedding) without having to change_ring(). Something like this works for polynomials. This may or may not be a good idea, but if it can be done in a consistent manner it would improve usability in certain situations.
  Postcritically finite morphisms	given a number field enumerate pcf maps over that field
  	given a graph, find a pcf map with that graph (approximate with spider algorithm or exact?)
  	given a family, which members are pcf
  Berkovich P1
  Improve speed	sigma_invariants is currently very slow. (Took several minutes to compute 2-cycle sigma invariants for a cubic.) If we hope to use this to describe functions in the "Arithmetic Dynamics Database," then computation needs to be much faster.	Need to think about methods. Will numerical approximations go faster? Do we need to bound denominators of symmetric functions? Can we?
  reduced form	Implement for higher dimensions. See Stoll 'Reduction Theory Of Point Clusters In Projective Space'
