Bicritical Rational Maps With a Common Iterate

Abstract: Let

f

be a degree

d

bicritical rational map with critical point set

m a t h c a l C_{f}

and critical value set

m a t h c a l V_{f}

. Using the group

e x t r m D e c k (f^{k})

of deck transformations of

f^{k}

, we show that if

g

is a bicritical rational map which shares an iterate with

f

then

m a t h c a l C_{f} = m a t h c a l C_{g}

and

m a t h c a l V_{f} = m a t h c a l V_{g}

. Using this, we show that if two bicritical rational maps of even degree

d

share an iterate then they share a second iterate, and both maps belong to the symmetry locus of degree

d

bicritical rational maps.
