Abstract

Let f(x)=axd+bK[x]f(x) = ax^d + b \in K[x] be a unicritical polynomial with degree d2d \geq 2 which is coprime to charK\mathrm{char} K. We provide an explicit presentation for the profinite iterated monodromy group of ff, analyze the structure of this group, and use this analysis to determine the constant field extension in K(f(t))/K(t)K(f^{-\infty}(t))/K(t).
