Abstract
Let be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and let be the rational function field over . For each , we consider the unicritical polynomial , and we ask the following question: If we fix and integers , , and , does there exist a place such that, modulo , the point enters into an -cycle after precisely steps under iteration by ? We answer this question completely, concluding that the answer is generally affirmative and explicitly giving all counterexamples. This extends previous work by the author in the case that is a constant point.
