On the multiplier spectrum of polynomials

Abstract

We prove several results on the multiplier spectrum of polynomials. We provide a detailed proof of the theorem stating that the multiplier spectrum morphism is generically injective on the moduli space of polynomials. We obtain a description of the non-injective locus of the multiplier spectrum morphism for polynomials of degree d2d\geq2. Roughly speaking, we prove that, apart from isolated exceptions, polynomials with the same multiplier spectrum are intertwined. More precisely, we show that, up to iteration and isolated exceptions, the polynomials are either equivalent or related by Ritt moves. We also investigate the relationship between Ritt moves and multiplier spectra over arithmetic progressions.
