Abstract
Let be a number field or a function field of characteristic 0. If is a number field, assume the -conjecture for . We prove a variant of Zsigmondy's theorem for ramified primes in preimage fields of rational functions in that are not postcritically finite. For example, suppose is a number field and is not postcritically finite, and let be the field generated by the th iterated preimages under of . We show that for all large , there is a prime of that ramifies in and does not ramify in for any .
