In 1980, Askold Khovanskii established his fewnomial bound forthe number of real solutions to a system of polynomials, thereby showing thatthe complexity of real solutions to a polynomial system depends upon the numberof monomials and not the degree. This fundamental finiteness result in realalgebraic geometry was proven by induction on the numb...

The problem of Lebesgue area of polynomial Julia sets goes back to classical work of Fatou. When the polynomial is reasonably hyperbolic then the Julia set has zero area, and there are plenty of examples of this kind. First examples of polynomial Julia sets of posiive area were constructed around 2006 by Buff and Cheritat. However, these example...
