Conjecture for iterated irreducibility over global function and number fields

About 6 years old · traced to

Let KK be a finite extension of Q\mathbb{Q} or Fp(t)\mathbb{F}_p(t), where pp is prime. For integers d≥2d\geq 2, define K∈Nd,n∞K\in\mathcal{N}_{d,n}^{\infty} to mean that KK admits the relevant persistently irreducible degree-dd polynomial iteration property. Global-field iterates conjecture. Then

K∈N2,3∞K\in\mathcal{N}_{2,3}^{\infty}

and

K∈Nd,2∞for every d≥2.K\in\mathcal{N}_{d,2}^{\infty}\quad\text{for every }d\geq 2.

The conjecture isolates uniform persistent irreducibility claims for finite extensions of rational number fields and rational function fields; the paper's results motivate these cases, but their general validity is not established in the supplied text.
