Abstract

Let fc,d(x)=xd+cC[x]f_{c,d}(x)=x^d+c\in \mathbb{C}[x]. The c0c_0 values for which fc0,df_{c_0,d} has a strictly pre-periodic finite critical orbit are called Misiurewicz points. Any Misiurewicz point lies in Qˉ\bar{\mathbb{Q}}. Suppose that the Misiurewicz points c0,c1Qˉc_0,c_1\in \bar{\mathbb{Q}} are such that the polynomials fc0,df_{c_0,d} and fc1,df_{c_1,d} have the same orbit type. One classical question is whether c0c_0 and c1c_1 need to be Galois conjugates or not. Recently there has been a partial progress on this question by several authors. In this note, we prove some new results when dd is a prime. All the results known so far were in the cases of period size at most 33. In particular, our work is the first to say something provable in the cases of period size greater than 33.
