On the set of stable primes for postcritically infinite maps over number fields
Many interesting questions in arithmetic dynamics revolve, in one way or another, around the (local and/or global) reducibility behavior of iterates of a polynomial. We show that for very general families of integer polynomials f (and, more generally, rational functions over number fields), the set of stable primes, i.e., primes modulo which all iterates of f are irreducible, is a density zero set. Compared to previous results, our families cover a much wider ground, and in particular apply to 100% of polynomials of any given odd degree, thus adding evidence to the conjecture that polynomials with a “large” set of stable primes are necessarily of a very specific shape, and in particular are necessarily postcritically finite.
期刊介绍:
Finite Fields and Their Applications is a peer-reviewed technical journal publishing papers in finite field theory as well as in applications of finite fields. As a result of applications in a wide variety of areas, finite fields are increasingly important in several areas of mathematics, including linear and abstract algebra, number theory and algebraic geometry, as well as in computer science, statistics, information theory, and engineering.
For cohesion, and because so many applications rely on various theoretical properties of finite fields, it is essential that there be a core of high-quality papers on theoretical aspects. In addition, since much of the vitality of the area comes from computational problems, the journal publishes papers on computational aspects of finite fields as well as on algorithms and complexity of finite field-related methods.
The journal also publishes papers in various applications including, but not limited to, algebraic coding theory, cryptology, combinatorial design theory, pseudorandom number generation, and linear recurring sequences. There are other areas of application to be included, but the important point is that finite fields play a nontrivial role in the theory, application, or algorithm.
