p-adic Uniformization and the Action of Galois on Certain Affine Correspondences
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 November 2018
Abstract
Given two monic polynomials $f$ and
$g$ with coefficients in a number field
$K$, and some
$\alpha \,\in \,K$, we examine the action of the absolute Galois group
$Gal\left( \bar{K}/K \right)$ on the directed graph of iterated preimages of
$\alpha $ under the correspondence
$g\left( y \right)\,=\,f\left( x \right)$, assuming that
$\deg \left( f \right)\,>\,\deg \left( g \right)$ and that
$\gcd \left( \deg \left( f \right),\deg \left( g \right) \right)\,=1$. If a prime of
$K$ exists at which
$f$ and
$g$ have integral coefficients and at which
$\alpha $ is not integral, we show that this directed graph of preimages consists of finitely many
$Gal\left( \bar{K}/K \right)$-orbits. We obtain this result by establishing a
$p$-adic uniformization of such correspondences, tenuously related to Böttcher’s uniformization of polynomial dynamical systems over
$\mathbb{C}$, although the construction of a Böttcher coordinate for complex holomorphic correspondences remains unresolved.
