Irreducibility conjecture for Misiurewicz polynomials

Fix an integer d2d\geq 2, let m2m\geq 2 and n1n\geq 1, and let ζ1\zeta\neq 1 be a dd-th root of unity. For the Misiurewicz polynomial Gd,m,nζ(c)G_{d,m,n}^{\zeta}(c) defined by the parameter iterates of f(z)=zd+cf(z)=z^d+c, the irreducibility conjecture. Gd,m,nζG_{d,m,n}^{\zeta} is irreducible over Q(ζ)\mathbb{Q}(\zeta). This is presented as the analogue over Q(ζ)\mathbb{Q}(\zeta) of a conjecture attributed to Milnor concerning related polynomials over Q\mathbb{Q}; no resolution is supplied here.
