My main research focus is in the area of arithmetic dynamics, though my work also involves arithmetic geometry and algebraic number theory. Arithmetic dynamics is the study of the dynamics of rational functions defined over fields of arithmetic interest, like the rational numbers, number fields, p-adic fields, and function fields. Much of my work has involved dynamical moduli spaces, which parametrize classes of rational maps together with "level structure," which in the dynamical setting typically refers to marked preperiodic points. My interest in these spaces comes from their applications to one of the major open problems in arithmetic dynamics: the dynamical uniform boundedness conjecture of Morton and Silverman. |

The results of my thesis appear in the three articles [7], [9], and [12], and the interested reader is encouraged to read those instead. The main purpose of posting my thesis here is that the details of certain computations are omitted in [7], but they appear in full in my thesis.
If you decide to peruse my thesis, please be aware that there are some minor errors (though nothing that invalidates the main results) that have been fixed for publication. Also note that some of the notation — specifically, the names of the dynamical modular curves — has since been changed and will appear differently in the published articles. Finally, some of the results have since been strengthened. In particular, the proof of Conjecture 2.34 appears in [9]. |
