Iterated Monodromy Group With Non-Martingale Fixed-Point Process
Published 18 Mar 2024 in math.NT, math.DS, and math.PR | (2403.12165v2)
Abstract: We construct families of rational functions $f: \mathbb{P}1_k \rightarrow \mathbb{P}1_k$ of degree $d \geq 2$ over a perfect field $k$ with non-martingale fixed-point processes. Then for any normal variety $X$ over $\mathbb{P}_{\bar{k}}N$, we give conditions on $f: X \rightarrow X$ to guarantee that the associated fixed-point process is a martingale. This work extends the previous work of Bridy, Jones, Kelsey, and Lodge on martingale conditions and answers their question on the existence of a non-martingale fixed-point process associated with the iterated monodromy group of a rational function.
