Abstract
Let be the function field of a smooth, irreducible curve defined over . Let be of the form where is a power of the prime number , and let . For all , the Galois groups embed into , the -fold wreath product of the cyclic group . We show that if is not isotrivial, then unless is postcritical or periodic. We are also able to prove that if and are two such distinct polynomials, then the fields and are disjoint over a finite extension of .
