Abstract

It is conjectured that a rational map whose coefficients are algebraic over \Qp\Q_p has no wandering components of the Fatou set. R. Benedetto has shown that any counter example to this conjecture must have a wild recurrent critical point. We provide here the first examples of rational maps whose coefficients are algebraic over \Qp\Q_p and that have a (wild) recurrent critical point. In fact, we show that there is such a rational map in every one parameter family of rational maps that is defined over a finite extension of \Qp\Q_p and that has a Misiurewicz bifurcation.
