The general symmetry conjecture for quadratic rational maps
The general symmetry conjecture for quadratic rational maps
Let be a global field of characteristic or greater than , and let have degree . Assume that is not post-critically finite and that is not periodic under . Let be the pre-image tree rooted at , let be its arboreal Galois group, and let be the centralizer of the subgroup generated by Möbius symmetries commuting with and fixing . General symmetry conjecture. If commutes with a nontrivial Möbius transformation fixing , then
Every degree-two rational map commuting with a nontrivial Möbius transformation is conjugate to the displayed family, so this conjecture generalizes the corresponding case over . The source presents it as equivalent to the family conjecture over and gives no resolution.
