The resultant conjecture for self maps of the projective line over function fields
The resultant conjecture for self maps of the projective line over function fields
Let be a function field over a field , and let be a self map of degree of . Let be the minimal resultant and let be the critical conductor. Let be the characteristic of , and let be the inseparability degree of the canonical map induced by from to the moduli space . Resultant conjecture for a function field. There exist a constant and an integer such that
The conjecture concerns boundedness of the minimal resultant in terms of the critical conductor, motivated by analogous boundedness results for elliptic curves and their Lattès maps. The source gives no resolution status.
