Abstract: We study the postcritically-finite (PCF) maps in the moduli space of complex polynomials $mathrm{MP}_d$. For a certain class of rational curves $C$ in $mathrm{MP}_d$, we characterize the condition that $C$ contains infinitely many PCF maps. In particular, we show that if $C$ is parameterized by polynomials, then there are infinitely many PCF maps in $C$ if and only if there is exactly one active critical point along $C$, up to symmetries; we provide the critical orbit relation satisfied by any pair of active critical points. For the curves $mathrm{Per}_1(lambda)$ in the space of cubic polynomials, introduced by Milnor (1992), we show that $mathrm{Per}_1(lambda)$ contains infinitely many PCF maps if and only if $lambda=0$. The proofs involve a combination of number-theoretic methods (specifically, arithmetic equidistribution) and complex-analytic techniques (specifically, univalent function theory). We provide a conjecture about Zariski density of PCF maps in subvarieties of the space of rational maps, in analogy with the Andr'e-Oort Conjecture from arithmetic geometry.
