The density of primes in orbits of z^d+c
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: Given a polynomial f(z) = z^d + c over a global field K and a_0 in K, we study the density of prime ideals of K dividing at least one element of the orbit of a_0 under f. The density of such sets for linear polynomials has attracted much study, and the second author has examined several families of quadratic polynomials, but little is known in the higher-degree case. We show that for many choices of d and c this density is zero for all a_0, assuming K contains a primitive dth root of unity. The proof relies on several new results, including some ensuring the number of irreducible factors of the nth iterate of f remains bounded as n grows, and others on the ramification above certain primes in iterated extensions. Together these allow for nearly complete information when K is a global function field or when K=Q(zeta_d).
