Full deautonomisation by singularity confinement as an integrability test

Presented by Dr. Alexander STOKES on 22 Jun 2023 from 09:45 to 10:15

Content

Since its introduction, the method of full deautonomisation by singularity confinement has proved a strikingly effective way of detecting the dynamical degrees of birational mappings of the plane. This method is based on a conjectured link between two a priori unrelated notions: firstly the dynamical degree of the mapping and secondly the evolution of parameters required for its singularity structure to remain unchanged under a sufficiently general deautonomisation. In this talk we will present a proof of this conjectured correspondence for a large class of birational mappings of the plane via the spaces of initial conditions for their deautonomised versions. We show that even for non-integrable mappings in this class, the surfaces forming these spaces have effective anticanonical divisors and one can define a kind of period mapping, which provides a bridge between the evolution of coefficients in the deautonomised mapping and the induced dynamics on the Picard lattice which encode the dynamical degree. We will illustrate the method in some examples and also discuss connections to the theory of rational surfaces associated with root systems of indefinite type.
