Solomon Vishkautsan’s Homepage

My name is Soli (Solomon) Vishkautsan, and since October 2017 I am a mathematics lecturer at Tel-Hai Academic College, Israel. I am a senior lecturer, and the head of the mathematics unit at the college. I am a member of the Department of Computer Science.

My main topic of research is Arithmetic Dynamics, which is a blend of number theory, diophantine geometry and dynamical systems. In recent years I have also been researching non-commutative and non-associative algebras. Together with Adam Chapman, we have made first steps in looking at dynamics over division algebras, and have studied polynomial roots, eigenvalues and more in these algebras and the Cayley–Dickson algebras.

I am interested in mathematics programming, especially in Magma and sagemath, and hope to make more contributions in the future to the latter project.

I was previously a postdoctoral fellow at:

• The University of Bayreuth, under the supervision of Michael Stoll, supported by a fellowship from the Minerva foundation, and Fabrizio Catanese, supported by ERC project 340258 TADMICAMT.
• The Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa, under the supervision of Umberto Zannier, as part of the ERC-Advanced Grant “Diophantine problems”.
• In Ben-Gurion University, under Dmitry Kerner and Ilya Tyomkin.

I received my PhD in mathematics from Bar-Ilan University in June 2013. My PhD supervisors were Boris Kunyavskii and Tatiana Bandman.
