ITERATES OF GENERIC POLYNOMIALS AND GENERIC RATIONAL FUNCTIONS
TRANSACTIONS OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY(2019)
Abstract
In 1985, Odoni showed that in characteristic 0 the Galois group of the n-th iterate of the generic polynomial with degree d is as large as possible. That is, he showed that this Galois group is the n-th wreath power of the symmetric group S-d. We generalize this result to positive characteristic, as well as to the generic rational function. These results can be applied to prove certain density results in number theory, two of which are presented here. This work was partially completed by the late R.W.K. Odoni in an unpublished paper.
