Counting Real Rational Functions with All Real Critical Values
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the number ♯ n of real rational degree n functions (considered up to a linear fractional transformation of the independent variable) with a given set of 2n − 2 distinct real critical values. We present a combinatorial interpretation of these numbers and pose a number of related questions.

Rational functions with real critical points and the B. and M. Shapiro conjecture in real enumerative geometry
Suppose that 2d − 2 tangent lines to the rational normal curve z 7→ (1 : z : . . . : z) in d-dimensional complex projective space are given. It was known that the number of codimension 2 subspaces intersecting all these lines is always finite; for a generic configuration it is equal to the d-th Catalan number. We prove that for real tangent lines, all these codimension 2 subspaces are also real...
متن کاملThe ring of real-continuous functions on a topoframe
A topoframe, denoted by $L_{ tau}$, is a pair $(L, tau)$ consisting of a frame $L$ and a subframe $ tau $ all of whose elements are complementary elements in $L$. In this paper, we define and study the notions of a $tau $-real-continuous function on a frame $L$ and the set of real continuous functions $mathcal{R}L_tau $ as an $f$-ring. We show that $mathcal{R}L_{ tau}$ is actually a generali...
متن کاملThe ring of real-valued functions on a frame
In this paper, we define and study the notion of the real-valued functions on a frame $L$. We show that $F(L) $, consisting of all frame homomorphisms from the power set of $mathbb{R}$ to a frame $ L$, is an $f$-ring, as a generalization of all functions from a set $X$ into $mathbb R$. Also, we show that $F(L) $ is isomorphic to a sub-$f$-ring of $mathcal{R}(L)$, the ring of real-valued continu...
متن کاملPointfree topology version of image of real-valued continuous functions
Let $ { mathcal{R}} L$ be the ring of real-valued continuous functions on a frame $L$ as the pointfree version of $C(X)$, the ring of all real-valued continuous functions on a topological space $X$. Since $C_c(X)$ is the largest subring of $C(X)$ whose elements have countable image, this motivates us to present the pointfree version of $C_c(X).$The main aim of this paper is to present t...
متن کاملReal Rational Curves in Grassmannians
Fulton asked how many solutions to a problem of enumerative geometry can be real, when that problem is one of counting geometric figures of some kind having specified position with respect to some general fixed figures. For the problem of plane conics tangent to five general conics, the (surprising) answer is that all 3264 may be real. Similarly, given any problem of enumerating p-planes incide...
