Abstract
Let be a prime number and let be the completion of an algebraic closure of the -adic rational field . Let be a one-parameter family of rational functions of degree , where the coefficients are meromorphic functions defined at all parameters in some open disk . Assuming an appropriate stability condition, we prove that the parameters for which is postcritically finite (PCF) are isolated from one another in the -adic disk , except in certain trivial cases. In particular, all PCF parameters of the family are -adically isolated.
