Abstract

In recent work it was shown how recursive factorisation of certain QRT maps leads to Somos-4 and Somos-5 recurrences with periodic coefficients, and to a fifth-order recurrence with the Laurent property. Here we recursively factorise the 12-parameter symmetric QRT map, given by a second-order recurrence, to obtain a system of three coupled recurrences which possesses the Laurent property. As degenerate special cases, we first derive systems of two coupled recurrences corresponding to the 5-parameter multiplicative and additive symmetric QRT maps. In all cases, the Laurent property is established using a generalisation of a result due to Hickerson, and exact formulae for degree growth are found from ultradiscrete (tropical) analogues of the recurrences. For the general 18-parameter QRT map it is shown that the components of the iterates can be written as a ratio of quantities that satisfy the same Somos-7 recurrence.
