Global results for PI , PII , PIV

✑ The union of exceptional lines is a repeller for the

flow.

✑ There exists a complex limit set, which is non-empty,

connected and compact.

✑ Every solution of PI , every solution of PII whose limit

set is not {0}, and every non-rational solution of PIV intersects the last exceptional line(s) infinitely many times ⇒ ∃ infinite number of movable poles and movable zeroes.

Ingredients of proofs

– Energy and Jacobians of each coordinate chart. – Use each as a measure between the flow and the 
 exceptional lines. – Use constancy of measure near an exceptional line to estimate the domain in each chart in which the solution is analytic. – Use compactness to show results about the limit set.

Summary

  • New mathematical models of physics pose new

questions for applied mathematics

  • Global dynamics of solutions of non-linear

equations, whether they are differential or discrete, can be found through geometry.

  • Geometry provides the only analytic approach

Summary

✑Global dynamics of solutions of non-

linear equations, whether they are differential or discrete, can be found through geometry.

✑Geometry provides the only analytic

approach available in for discrete equations.

✑Tantalising questions about finite

properties of solutions remain open and discrete transcendents remain open.
