Arithmetic dynamics is a field that amalgamates two areas of mathematics, dynamical systems and number theory. Classically, discrete dynamics refers to the study of the iteration of self-maps of the complex plane or real line. Arithmetic dynamics is the study of the number-theoretic properties of integer, rational, p-adic, and/or algebraic points under repeated application of a polynomial or rational function. A fundamental goal is to describe arithmetic properties in terms of underlying geometric structures. Global arithmetic dynamics is the study of analogues of classical diophantine geometry...

Q: Create algebraic dynamics tag and make it a synonym for arithmetic dynamics?

J WIs it a good idea to create a tag called "algebraic dynamics" and make it a tag synonym for "arithmetic dynamics"? (See this question on what is algebraic dynamics, noting that Silverman says that there is no firm line between arithmetic dynamics and algebraic dynamics in The Arithmetic of Dynam...

For what it's worth, sister site Math Overflow currently has 8 questions tagged algebraic dynamics and 28 questions tagged arithmetic dynamics. — J W 33 secs ago
MathOverflow: arithmetic-dynamics, algebraic-dynamics. In both cases, the tag-info is empty.
BTW the tag-excerpt for (arithmetic-dynamics] on this site was created by J.W.

Q: What is exactly "Algebraic Dynamics"?

ManosCould somebody please give a big picture description of what exactly is the object of study in the area of Algebraic Dynamics? Is it related to Dynamical Systems? If yes in what sense? Also, what is the main mathematical discipline underpinning Algebraic Dynamics? Is it algebraic geometry, differ...

The above post is linked in the proposal on meta.

There was a discussion in another room about a new tag on meta - although it's a bit unclear to me what kind of tag is actuallyintended.

@Hardmath. I think that should be your call, but we may benefit from coming up with a meta-tag that acts as a call for quality threads on a specified topic. Any suggestions?

@JyrkiLahtonen I took a look at existing tags, esp. those on the meta Question that asked about the meaning of canonical answer desired for offering a bounty. I also looked at the discussion of terminology Abstract duplicate vs. canonical question.

In short we have diverse terms for closely related topics. Maybe it is better to create a new tag, ask for forgiveness rather than permission.

@hardmath I would say that you can trust your common sense, and use whatever tag you think is prudent. In other words, I like the approach of ask for forgiveness rather than permission :-). If a tag is later found misleading, or a better idea comes up, we can refine the guidelines at that time.

I have to admit that it's unclear to me what tag (for what topic) is actually proposed. Anyway, we could discuss this further in the tagging chatroom, if needed.

A: Tag management 2020

URLProposal: Rename collatz to collatz-conjecture. Although Lothar Collatz is most known for the $3x+1$ problem (the Collatz Conjecture), I don’t think their names should be used interchangeably. Furthermore, the latter tag has a more informative name. I posted this in the last Tag Management, but...
