Here we construct a convergent countable-state Markov chain that computes the limit measure. Our technique is combinatorial in nature and may be applied to compute the location of mass for the equilibrium measure of a non-Archimedean rational function, under a certain stability hypothesis. As a byproduct, we deduce that meromorphic maps preserving the fibers of a rationally-fibered complex surface are algebraically stable after a proper modification.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-09-27T02:50:06.000Z", "comment": null, "journal": null, "doi": null, "authors": [ "Laura De Marco", "Xander Faber" ] }, { "version": "v2", "updated": "2014-11-14T13:34:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37F10", "37P50", "37F45" ], "keywords": [ "complex dynamical systems", "algebraic stability", "degenerations", "equilibrium measure", "convergent countable-state markov chain" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1309.7103D" } } }
