Abstract: In these lecture notes, we present a connection between the complex dynamics of a family of rational functions ft:mathbbP1omathbbP1, parameterized by t in a Riemann surface X, and the arithmetic dynamics of ft on rational points mathbbP1(k) where k=mathbbC(X) or . An explicit relation between stability and canonical height is explained, with a proof that contains a piece of the Mordell-Weil theorem for elliptic curves over function fields. Our main goal is to pose some questions and conjectures about these families, guided by the principle of "unlikely intersections" from arithmetic geometry, as in [Zannier 2012]. We also include a proof that the hyperbolic postcritically-finite maps are Zariski dense in the moduli space of rational maps of any given degree d>1. These notes are based on four lectures at KAWA 2015, in Pisa, Italy, designed for an audience specializing in complex analysis, expanding upon the main results of [Baker-DeMarco 2013, DeMarco 2016, DeMarco-Wang-Ye 2016].
