Abstract: Let $f:hatmathbbCohatmathbbC$ be a postcritically finite rational map. Let $mathcalQ(hatmathbbC)$ be the space of meromorphic quadratic differentials on $hatmathbbC$ with simple poles. We study the set of eigenvalues of the pushforward operator $f_{\ast }:mathcalQ(hatmathbbC)omathcalQ(hatmathbbC)$. In particular, we show that when $f:mathbbComathbbC$ is a unicritical polynomial of degree $D$ with periodic critical point, the eigenvalues of $f_{\ast }:mathcalQ(hatmathbbC)omathcalQ(hatmathbbC)$ are contained in the annulus $$ and belong to $frac1DmathbbU$ where $mathbbU$ is the group of algebraic units.
