In his earlier work, the author introduced a group theory question that arises in the study of iterated Galois groups of post-critically finite quadratic polynomials. In this paper, we prove the first non-trivial results on this question.

We prove that over totally real fields, the $p$-adic Galois representations attached to non-self-dual regular algebraic cuspidal automorphic representations of $\mathrm{GL}(4)$ are irreducible. We then develop the theory of extra-twists in…

Let $K$ be a field, and let $f\in K(z)$ be rational function. The preimages of a point $x_0\in P^1(K)$ under iterates of $f$ have a natural tree structure. As a result, the Galois group of the resulting field extension of $K$ naturally…

We prove a non-abelian arboreal Galois group result for certain maps with non-real Julia set at an archimedean place. We investigate the question of determining which polynomials defined over $\mathbb{R}$ have real Julia set. Finally we…

Jones conjectures the arboreal representation of a degree two rational map will have finite index in the full automorphism group of a binary rooted tree except under certain conditions. We prove a version of Jones' Conjecture for quadratic…

We study the arithmetic and geometric iterated monodromy groups associated to the postcritically finite (PCF) quadratic rational function $f(x)=\frac{2}{(x-1)^2}$ defined over a number field $k$, whose critical points are both strictly…

Much work has gone into matrix representations of Galois groups, but there is a whole new class of naturally occurring representations that have as yet gone almost unnoticed. In fact, it is well-known in various areas of mathematics that…

In this work we generalise the main result of arXiv:1812.05651 to the family of hyperelliptic curves with potentially good reduction over a $p$-adic field which have degree $p$ and the largest possible image of inertia under the $\ell$-adic…

Fix a prime number $d$. The post-critically finite polynomials of the form $f_{d,c} = x^d+c\in \mathbb{C}[x]$ play a fundamental role in polynomial dynamics. While many results are known in the complex dynamical setting, much less is…

Given a global field K and a rational function phi defined over K, one may take pre-images of 0 under successive iterates of phi, and thus obtain an infinite rooted tree T by assigning edges according to the action of phi. The absolute…

We show that for any integer n and any field k of characteristic different from 2 there are at most finitely many isomorphism classes of quadratic morphisms from the projective line over k to itself with a finite postcritical orbit of size…

Consider a number field $K$ and a rational function $f$ of degree greater than 1 over $K$. By taking preimages of $\alpha\in K$ under successive iterates of $f$, an infinite $d$-ary tree $T_\infty$ rooted at $\alpha$ can be constructed. An…

For a quadratic field K, we investigate continuous mod p representations of the absolute Galois groups of K that are unramified away from p and infinity. We prove that for certain pairs (K,p), there are no such irreducible representations.…

In this paper we study an action of the absolute Galois group $\Gamma$ on bicolored plane trees induced by the action of $\Gamma$ on equivalence classes of conservative polynomials which are the simplest example of postcritically finite…

Let $K$ be the function field of a smooth, irreducible curve defined over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$. Let $f\in K[x]$ be of the form $f(x)=x^q+c$ where $q = p^{r}, r \ge 1,$ is a power of the prime number $p$, and let $\beta\in \overline{K}$.…

We study the postcritically finite non-polynomial map $f(x)=\frac{1}{(x-1)^2}$ over a number field $k$ and prove various results about the geometric $G^{\text{geom}}(f)$ and arithmetic $G^{\text{arith}}(f)$ iterated monodromy groups of $f$.…

Let K be a number field and let f(x) = x^q + c where q is a prime power, c is in K, and f is not post-critically finite. We show that for any strictly preperiodic b in K, the iterated Galois group at b with respect to f has finite index in…

We provide an infinite family of quadratic number fields with everywhere unramified Galois extensions of Galois group $SL_2(7)$. To my knowledge, this is the first instance of infinitely many such realizations for a perfect group which is…

We construct families of rational functions $f \colon \bP^1_k \to \bP^1_k$ of degree $d \geq 2$ over a perfect field $k$ whose associated fixed-point processes fail to be martingales. Conversely, for any normal variety $X \subset…

Suppose $f \in K[x]$ is a polynomial. The absolute Galois group of $K$ acts on the preimage tree $\mathrm{T}$ of $0$ under $f$. The resulting homomorphism $\phi_f: \mathrm{Gal}_K \to \mathrm{Aut} \mathrm{T}$ is called the arboreal Galois…
