Abstract
Let be a number field, and let . A conjecture of Odoni (stated more generally for characteristic zero Hilbertian fields ) posits that there is a monic polynomial of degree , and a point , such that for every , the so-called arboreal Galois group is an -fold wreath product of the symmetric group . In this paper, we prove Odoni's conjecture when is even and is an arbitrary number field, and also when both and are odd.
