If a prime of K exists at which f and g have integral coefficients, and at which a is not integral, we show that this directed graph of preimages consists of finitely many Galois-orbits. We obtain this result by establishing a p-adic uniformization of such correspondences, tenuously related to Bottcher's uniformization of polynomial dynamical systems over the complex numbers.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-04-18T15:08:31.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37P20", "11S20" ], "keywords": [ "p-adic uniformization", "affine correspondences", "absolute galois group", "directed graph", "number field" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2016arXiv160405197I" } } }
