Positive fixed-point proportion dichotomy for polynomial iterated Galois groups
Let be a field and let be a polynomial of degree . Assume either that or that does not divide the local degree of any critical point of . Let be a separable closure of , let be transcendental over , and let be the geometric iterated Galois group. A polynomial has a euclidean orbifold when its associated orbifold is euclidean; the type is excluded below. Positive fixed-point proportion dichotomy conjecture. Either has a euclidean orbifold not of type and
or
otherwise. The result would further classify polynomial iterated Galois groups with positive fixed-point proportion. The surrounding discussion derives the expected dichotomy from known martingale and mixing results, but the conjectural classification itself remains open in the supplied text.
