An Embedding of the Arboreal Galois Group for PCF Maps
Jun-Wen Peng (University of Rochester)
Abstract:
Let

be a rational map defined over a field

, and let

be the splitting field of
-%5Calpha%20%3D%200%20%24&chf=bg,s,333333&chco=ffffff)
where

is the n-th iterate of

. We study the Galois group
%24&chf=bg,s,333333&chco=ffffff)
. Odoni has showed that, avoiding a finite subset of

, the profinite group $G_\infty = \varprojlim_n G_n$ acts on the infinite

-ary regular tree

, and hence we obtain a Galois representative, so called arboreal representative, by embedding

to the automorphism of the tree Aut
%24&chf=bg,s,333333&chco=ffffff)
.
Generically, this embedding is surjective. However when

is a post-critical-finite(PCF) map, Jones showed that the image of

is an infinite index subgroup of Aut
%24&chf=bg,s,333333&chco=ffffff)
. By explicitly computing the discriminant of a PCF map, we are able to find two kinds of infinite index subgroups of Aut
%24&chf=bg,s,333333&chco=ffffff)
such that the arboreal Galois group of any PCF map can be embedded into one of them. People have found a family of PCF maps, called single-cycle Belyi map, of which the arboreal Galois groups are isomorphic to one of the subgroups. We are able to find a new PCF map that is also isomorphic to the subgroup.
