A non-archimedean $\lambda$-lemma

We provide a framework for studying the dynamics of families of one-variable rational functions parametrized by Berkovich spaces over a complete non-archimedean field. We prove a non-archimedean analogue of Ma\~{n}\'{e}, Sad, and Sullivan's $\lambda$-Lemma and use this to show an equivalence of two stability conditions for families of rational functions parametrized by an open subset of the Berkovich affine line.

Billiards on Graphs

We prove some partial results on the periodicity of billiard systems on graphs. The results specialize to the case of $n$ billiards with equal mass on the unit interval or circle traveling at the same speed.
