Abstract
Morton and Vivaldi defined the polynomials whose roots are parabolic parameters for a one-parameter family of polynomial maps. We call these polynomials delta factors. They conjectured that delta factors are irreducible for the family . One can easily show the irreducibility for periods and by reducing it to the irreducibility of cyclotomic polynomials. However, for periods and beyond, this becomes a challenging problem. This paper proves the irreducibility of delta factors for the period and demonstrates the existence of infinitely many irreducible delta factors for periods greater than .
