"$p$-Adic interpolation of orbits under rational maps"
Rivera-Letelier’s characterization of possible analytic uniformizations of $p$-adic analytic maps has played an important role within arithmetic dynamics over the past fifteen years. The characterization is given by a trichotomy of indifferent, attracting and superattracting cases near a fixed point of a map.
In this talk, we present that if we are only interested in the orbit of a rational map on a point $c$ of $\mathbb{P}^1$ over a characteristic zero global field, we could always $p$-adically interpolate the orbit in the sense similar to the indifferent case of the trichotomy. This is done by working with a finitely generated field extension of $\mathbb{Q}$ and choosing suitable primes for embedding into local fields. We also present an application to the dynamical Mordell-Lang conjecture.
This project is a joint work with Prof. Jason P. Bell (arxiv: 2202.01673).
