Abstract

Let KK be a number field with algebraic closure K\overline{K} and let SS be a finite set of places of KK that contain all the archimedean places. For an integer d2d \ge 2, consider the unicritical polynomial family fd,c(z)=zd+cf_{d,c}(z) = z^d + c. Recently, Benedetto and Ih studied the distribution of post-critically finite parameters cc that are SS-integral relative to a fixed point αK\alpha \in \overline{K} such that fd,αf_{d, \alpha} is not post-critically finite. In this paper, we study the quantitative aspects of their result. In particular, under some additional assumptions we establish quantitative bounds on the number of SS-integral post-critically finite parameters in the generalized Mandelbrot set Md,v\mathcal{M}_{d, v} relative to a non post-critically finite parameter α\alpha as α\alpha varies over number fields of bounded degree.
