Reduction of dynatomic curves

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: The dynatomic modular curves parametrize polynomial maps together with a point of period n. It is known that the dynatomic curves Y1(n) are smooth and irreducible in characteristic 0 for families of polynomial maps of the form fc(z)=zm+c where mgeq2. In the present paper, we build on the work of Morton to partially characterize the primes p for which the reduction modulo p of Y1(n) remains smooth and/or irreducible. As an application, we give new examples of good reduction of Y1(n) for several primes dividing the ramification discriminant when n=7,8,11. The proofs involve arithmetic and complex dynamics, reduction theory for curves, ramification theory, and the combinatorics of the Mandelbrot set.
