Abstract

The moduli space ratd\mathrm{rat}_d of rational maps in one complex variable of degree d2d \ge 2 has a natural compactification by a projective variety ratd\overline{\mathrm{rat}}_d provided by geometric invariant theory. Given n2n \ge 2, the iteration map Φn:ratdratdn\Phi_n : \mathrm{rat}_d \to\mathrm{rat}_{d^n}, defined by Φn:[f][fn]\Phi_n: [f] \mapsto [f^n], extends to a rational map Φn:ratdratdn\Phi_n : \overline{\mathrm{rat}}_d\dashrightarrow \overline{\mathrm{rat}}_{d^n}. We characterize the elements of ratd\overline{\mathrm{rat}}_d which lie in the indeterminacy locus of Φn\Phi_n.
