Detectability and Systematic Bias from First-Order Phase-Transition Dephasing in Kerr EMRIs

Jingxu Wu, Liangyu Luo, Junyi Zhang +3

We study gravitational-wave dephasing induced by an effective first-order phase transition in a Kerr extreme mass-ratio inspiral (EMRI). The transition is modeled phenomenologicall…

Arboreal Galois groups of postcritically finite quadratic polynomials: The strictly preperiodic case

Robert L. Benedetto, Dragos Ghioca, Jamie Juul +1

In a previous paper, we provided an explicit description of the arboreal Galois group of the postcritically finite polynomial in the special case when the critical…

Specializations of Iterated Galois Groups of PCF Rational Functions

Robert L. Benedetto, Dragos Ghioca, Jamie Juul +1

We obtain a criterion for when the specialization of the iterated Galois group for a post-critically finite (PCF) rational map is as large as possible, i.e., it equals the generic…

Arboreal representations for rational maps with few critical points

Jamie Juul, Holly Krieger, Nicole Looper +3

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 condit…

Odoni's conjecture for number fields

Robert L. Benedetto, Jamie Juul

Let be a number field, and let . A conjecture of Odoni (stated more generally for characteristic zero Hilbertian fields ) posits that there is a monic polynomial $f…

Fixed point proportions for Galois groups of non-geometric iterated extensions

Jamie Juul

Given a map of degree greater than 1 defined over a number field , one can define a map $φ_\mathfrak{p}:\mathbb{P}^1(\mathfrak{o}_k/\mat…

Iterates of Generic Polynomials and Generic Rational Functions

Jamie Juul

In 1985, Odoni showed that in characteristic the Galois group of the -th iterate of the generic polynomial with degree is as large as possible. That is, he showed that t…
