We argue that discrete dynamics has natural links to the theory of analytic functions. Most important, bifurcations and chaotic dynamical properties are related to intersections of algebraic varieties. This paves the way to identification of boundaries of Mandelbrot sets with discriminant varieties in moduli spaces, which are the central objects in the worlds of chaos and order (integrability) respectively. To understand and exploit this relation one needs first to develop the theory of discrete dynamics as a solid branch of algebraic geometry, which so far did not pay enough attention to iterated maps. The basic object to study in this context is Julia sheaf over the universal Mandelbrot set. The base has a charateristic combinatorial structure, which can be revealed by resultant analysis and represented by a basic graph. Sections (Julia sets) are contractions of a unit disc, related to the action of Abelian $\bb{Z}$ group on the unit circle. Their singularities (bifurcations) are located at the points of the universal discriminant variety.

Working within the polynomial quadratic family, we introduce a new point of view on bifurcations which naturally allows to see the seat of bifurcations as the projection of a Julia set of a complex dynamical system in dimension three. We expect our approach to be extendable to other holomorphic families of dynamical systems.

Concise introduction to a relatively new subject of non-linear algebra: literal extension of text-book linear algebra to the case of non-linear equations and maps. This powerful science is based on the notions of discriminant (hyperdeterminant) and resultant, which today can be effectively studied both analytically and by modern computer facilities. The paper is mostly focused on resultants of non-linear maps. First steps are described in direction of Mandelbrot-set theory, w...

Direct look at the celebrated "chaotic" Mandelbrot Set in Fig..\ref{Mand2} immediately reveals that it is a collection of almost ideal circles and cardioids, unified in a specific {\it forest} structure. In /hep-th/9501235 a systematic algebro-geometric approach was developed to the study of generic Mandelbrot sets, but emergency of nearly ideal circles in the special case of the family $x^2+c$ was not fully explained. In the present paper the shape of the elementary constitu...

We introduce the exciting field of complex dynamics at an undergraduate level while reviewing, reinforcing, and extending the ideas learned in an typical first course on complex analysis. Julia sets and the famous Mandelbrot set will be introduced and interesting properties of their boundaries will be described. We will conclude with a discussion of problems at the boundary between complex dynamics and other areas, including a nice application of the material we have learned ...

Using computer graphics and visualization algorithms, we extend in this work the results obtained analytically in [1], on the connectivity domains of alternated Julia sets, defined by switching the dynamics of two quadratic Julia sets. As proved in [1], the alternated Julia sets exhibit, as for polynomials of degree greater than two, the disconnectivity property in addition to the known dichotomy property (connectedness and totally disconnectedness) which characterizes the st...

In this note we give answers to questions posed to us by J.Milnor and M.Shub, which shed further light on the structure of non-computable Julia sets.

The famous Laplace's Demon is not only of strict physical determinism, but also related to the power of differential equations. When deterministically extended structures are taken into consideration, it is admissible that fractals are dense both in the nature and in the dynamics. In particular, this is true because fractal structures are closely related to chaos. This implies that dynamics have to be an instrument of the extension. Oppositely, one can animate the arguments f...

A topological ring R, an escape set B in R and a family of maps z^d+c defines the degree d Mandelstuff as the set of parameters for which the closure of the orbit of 0 does not intersect R. If B is the complement of a ball of radius 2 in C or H it is the complex or quaternionic Mandelbrot set; in a vector space with polar decomposition x=|x| U(t) like R=R^m, the map z^d+c is defined as the map z=|z| U(t) to z^d=|z|^d U(d t). We review some Jacobi Mandelstuff of quadratic maps...

In this paper, we consider random iterations of polynomial maps $z^2 +c_n$ where $c_n$ are complex-valued independent random variables following the uniform distribution on the closed disk with center $c$ and radius $r$. The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we study the (dis)connectedness of random Julia sets. Here, we reveal the relationships between the bifurcation radius and connectedness of random Julia sets. Second, we investigate the bifurcation of our random iterat...
