A Case of the Dynamical André–Oort Conjecture
2016
We prove a special case of the Dynamical Andre-Oort Conjecture formulated by Baker and DeMarco. For any integer d>1, we show that for a rational plane curve C parametrized by (t, h(t)) for some non-constant polynomial h with complex coefficients, if there exist infinitely many points (a,b) on the curve C such that both z^d+a and z^d+b are postcritically finite maps, then h(z)=uz for a (d-1)-st root of unity u. As a by-product of our proof, we show that the Mandelbrot set is not the filled Julia set of any polynomial with complex coefficients.
