Abstract
The second author proved that the set of post-critically finite polynomials of given degree is a set of bounded height, up to change of variables. Motivated by an observation about unicritical polynomials, we complement this by proving that the set of monic polynomials g(z) of given degree with the property that there exists a d > 1 such that g(z^d) is post-critically finite, is also a set of bounded height. Moreover, we establish a lower bound on the critical height of g(z^d).
