Abstract

We study the postcritically finite non-polynomial map f(x)=1(x1)2f(x)=\frac{1}{(x-1)^2} over a number field kk and prove various results about the geometric Ggeom(f)G^{\text{geom}}(f) and arithmetic Garith(f)G^{\text{arith}}(f) iterated monodromy groups of ff. We show that the elements of Ggeom(f)G^{\text{geom}}(f) are the ones in Garith(f)G^{\text{arith}}(f) that are fixing the roots of unity by assuming a conjecture on the size of Gngeom(f)G^{\text{geom}}_n(f). Furthermore, we describe exactly for which aka \in k the Arboreal Galois group Ga(f)G_a(f) and Garith(f)G^{\text{arith}}(f) are equal.
