Let \\(K_n\\) be the splitting field of \\(f^n\\) over \\(\\mathbb Q\\) and denote by \\(G_n=\\mathrm{Gal}(K_n/\\mathbb Q)\\). \\(G_n\\) has been called arboreal Galois group because it can be made to act on trees. In fact, let \\(T_n\\) be the graph whose vertex set is \\(\\cup_{0\\le i\\le n}f^{-i}(0)\\) and where we draw an edge from \\(\\alpha\\) to \\(\\beta\\) if \\(f(\\alpha)=\\beta\\). Then clearly \\(G_n\\) acts faithfully on \\(T_n\\), so that \\(G_n\\) can be considered as a subgroup of \\(\\Aut(T_n)\\), the automorphism group of \\(T_n\\). We write \\(G_\\infty\\) as the inverse limit of the Galois groups \\(G_n\\) and write \\(T_\\infty\\) as the increasing union of \\(T_1\\subset T_2\\subset\\cdots\\). Therefore, the injections \\(G_n\\hookrightarrow \\Aut(T_n)\\) naturally extend to the injection \\(G_\\infty\\hookrightarrow \\Aut(T_\\infty)\\).  In this article, we suppose that \\(-a\\) is not a square in \\(\\mathbb Z\\). This is equivalent to saying that all iterates of \\(f\\) are irreducible over \\(\\mathbb Q\\), and hence ensures that \\(T_n\\) is a complete binary rooted tree of height \\(n\\) (so there are \\(2n\\) leaves at the top). In this case, we can describe \\(\\Aut(T_n)\\) as the \\(n\\)-fold iterated wreath product of the cyclic group \\(C_2\\) of two elements, as shown by \\textit{R. W. K. Odoni} [Mathematika 35, No. 1, 101--113 (1988; Zbl 0622.12010)]. We also neglect the case that \\(a=-2\\). This is the only case that \\(f(x)=x^2+a\\) is so called post-critically finite, which means that the forward orbit of its critical points is finite. In fact, when \\(f(x)=x^2-2\\), it is well known that \\(G_n\\cong C_{2^n}\\) and hence \\([\\Aut(T_\\infty):G_\\infty]=\\infty\\). Under these assumptions (that is \\(-a\\) is not a square in \\(\\mathbb Z\\) and \\(a\\ne -2)\\), many evidences indicate that one should expect \\([\\Aut(T_\\infty):G_\\infty]=\\infty\\). For example, \\textit{C. Gratton} et al.  [Bull. Lond. Math. Soc. 45, No. 6, 1194--1208 (2013; Zbl 1291.37121)] proved that this is the case assuming the ABC conjecture.   The study of the case \\(a=1\\) which is a problem originally posed by J. McKay, began by Odoni [loc. cit.] and \\textit{J. E. Cremona} [Mathematika 36, No. 2, 259--261 (1989; Zbl 0699.12018)]. Later, by extending Odoni's theory and techniques for \\(x^2+1\\) to the general case, and by adding an ingenious pair of new ideas of his own, \\textit{M. Stoll} [Arch. Math. 59, No. 3, 239--244 (1992; Zbl 0758.11045)] proved as his main result that if \\(a\\in\\mathbb Z\\) has one of the following properties: (a) \\(a>0\\) and \\(a\\equiv 1\\pmod 4\\) or \\(a\\equiv 2\\pmod 4\\); (b) \\(a<0\\), \\(a\\in 4\\mathbb Z\\) and \\(-a\\) is not a square in \\(\\mathbb Z\\), then \\(G_n=\\Aut(T_n)\\) for all \\(n\\ge 1\\). Not much seems to be known for all other cases where \\(-a\\) is not a square.''    In this paper, we solve another piece of this puzzle. We prove that if \\(a<0\\) and \\(a\\equiv -1\\pmod 4\\), then \\([\\Aut(T_\\infty):G_\\infty]\\le 2\\). More precisely, we have \\(G_n=\\Aut(T_n)\\) for all \\(n\\ge1\\) if \\(-a\\) is not of the form \\(4k^2+1\\) and \\([\\Aut(T_n):G_n]=2\\) for all \\(n\\ge 2\\), otherwise.  The author's approach follows the methods used by Odoni and Stoll.","type":"string"},"datatype":"string"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2297520$DC16683B-ADE6-4113-BA27-9BF93191BDB9","rank":"normal"}],"P1447":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1447","hash":"3629f9b58c1c86062c61ff85f3263e580bc52bf7","datavalue":{"value":{"entity-type":"item","numeric-id":586708,"id":"Q586708"},"type":"wikibase-entityid"},"datatype":"wikibase-item"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2297520$C2DCBC04-2F98-4D03-9CA0-89DB27B5CA05","rank":"normal"}],"P226":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"5da175760837221b1255b8d6d71ae4d17a89f801","datavalue":{"value":"11R32","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2297520$BFCFD648-F040-464C-8984-B68825D15169","rank":"normal"},{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"6321ce6a9565f5f3e695a7afbb7a3eee2274d95d","datavalue":{"value":"11A07","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2297520$56164ACA-8124-4EE5-8107-75EABCB6E736","rank":"normal"},{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"4c2171b6c8de1a08eb3f783eac7206c8e80b9451","datavalue":{"value":"37P05","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2297520$A7F6720C-6A00-4108-B967-53B60B68C5D5","rank":"normal"}],"P1451":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1451","hash":"4b98799854500b9c9aea9804b5ae836993417873","datavalue":{"value":"7169897","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2297520$677038B6-561B-4569-9042-5365397F6729","rank":"normal"}],"P1450":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1450","hash":"9934d43079572609a2bed86c9cde49af1679d8ff","datavalue":{"value":"arboreal
