Abelian extensions in dynamical Galois theory

Jesse Andrews and Clayton Petsche

Vol. 14 (2020), No. 7, 1981–1999
Abstract

We propose a conjectural characterization of when the dynamical Galois group associated to a polynomial is abelian, and we prove our conjecture in several cases, including the stable quadratic case over . In the postcritically infinite case, the proof uses algebraic techniques, including a result concerning ramification in towers of cyclic p-extensions. In the postcritically finite case, the proof uses the theory of heights together with results of Amoroso and Zannier and Amoroso and Dvornicich, as well as properties of the Arakelov–Zhang pairing.
