Valuations and Hyperbolicity in Dynamics
by Thomas Ward
Publisher: University of East Anglia 2001
Number of pages: 58
Description:
These notes describe several situations in dynamics where the notion of valuations on rings provides a simple language in which to describe and exploit (analogues of) hyperbolicity. This approach goes a little beyond simply providing a convenient language.
