Abstract

Let KK be a complete, algebraically closed non-archimedean valued field, and let φ(z)K(z)\varphi(z) \in K(z) have degree two. We describe the crucial set of φ\varphi in terms of the multipliers of φ\varphi at the classical fixed points, and use this to show that the crucial set determines a stratification of the moduli space M2(K)\mathcal{M}_2(K) related to the reduction type of φ\varphi. We apply this to settle a special case of a conjecture of Hsia regarding the density of repelling periodic points in the non-archimedean Julia set.
