It follows that for any B, the set of conjugacy classes of post-critically finite polynomials of degree d with coefficients of algebraic degree at most B is a finite and effectively computable set. In the case d=3 and B=1 we perform this computation. The proof of the main result comes down to finding a relation between the \"naive\" height on the moduli space, and Silverman's critical height.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2011-02-12T16:07:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "post-critically finite polynomials", "finiteness result", "moduli space", "main result comes", "conjugacy classes" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1010.3393I" } } }
