Casting light on shadow Somos sequences

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present various explicit expressions for the shadow of Somos-4 sequences and describe the solution of a general Somos4 recurrence defined over the $\mathbb{C}$-algebra of dual numbers from several different viewpoints: analytic formulae in terms of elliptic functions, linear difference equations, and Hankel determinants.

Space of initial values of a map with a quartic invariant

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compactify and regularize the space of initial values of a planar map with a quartic invariant and use this construction to prove its integrability in the sense of algebraic entropy.

Dynamical degrees of birational maps from indices of polynomials with respect to blow-ups I. General theory and 2D examples

TL;DR: In this paper , the degree of a polynomial under pull-back of a hypergraph is computed based on local indices associated to blow-ups and the propagation of these indices along orbits of the hypergraph.

Integrable Mappings from a Unified Perspective

TL;DR: In this article, two discrete dynamical systems are discussed and analyzed whose trajectories encode significant explicit information about a number of problems in combinatorial probability, including graphical enumeration on Riemann surfaces and random walks in random environments.

Constraints from de Sitter metastability in heterotic string compactifications

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the possibility of obtaining metastable de Sitter vacua of heterotic string theory compactified on a Calabi-Yau threefold which are classical and simple in the K\"ahler moduli sector of the theory.
