Abstract: Given a field $K$, a polynomial $finK[x]$, and a suitable element $tinK$, the set of preimages of $t$ under the iterates $f^{circn}$ carries a natural structure of a $d$-ary tree. We study conditions under which the absolute Galois group of $K$ acts on the tree by the full group of automorphisms. When $K=mathbbQ$ we exhibit examples of polynomials of every even degree with maximal Galois action on the preimage tree, partially affirming a conjecture of Odoni. We also study the case of $K=F(t)$ and $finF[x]$ in which the corresponding Galois groups are the monodromy groups of the ramified covers $f^{circn}:mathbb{P}_F^{1}omathbb{P}_F^1$.
