Abstract
Let~ be a Hilbertian field of characteristic~. R.W.K. Odoni conjectured that for every positive integer~ there exists a polynomial~ of degree~ such that each iterate~ of~ is irreducible and the Galois group of the splitting field of~ is isomorphic to the automorphism group of a regular,~-branching tree of height~ We prove this conjecture when~ is a number field.
