Abstract

Let ff be a degree dd bicritical rational map with critical point set Cf\mathcal{C}_f and critical value set Vf\mathcal{V}_f. Using the group Deck(fk)\textrm{Deck}(f^k) of deck transformations of fkf^k, we show that if gg is a bicritical rational map which shares an iterate with ff then Cf=Cg\mathcal{C}_f = \mathcal{C}_g and Vf=Vg\mathcal{V}_f = \mathcal{V}_g. Using this, we show that if two bicritical rational maps of even degree dd share an iterate then they share a second iterate, and both maps belong to the symmetry locus of degree dd bicritical rational maps.
