A rational function of degree at least two with coefficients in an algebraically closed field is post-critically finite (PCF) if all of its critical points have finite forward orbit under iteration. We show that the collection of PCF rational functions is a set of bounded height in the moduli space of rational functions over the complex numbers, once the well-understood family known as flexible Lattes maps is excluded. As a consequence, there are only finitely many conjugacy classes of non-Lattes PCF rational maps of a given degree defined over any given number field. The key ingredient of the proof is a non-archimedean version of Fatous classical result that every attracting cycle of a rational function over the complex numbers attracts a critical point.

We describe and implement an algorithm to find all post-critically finite (PCF) cubic polynomials defined over $mathbb{Q}$, up to conjugacy over $text{PGL}_2(bar{mathbb{Q}})$. We describe normal forms that classify equivalence classes of cubic polynomials while respecting the field of definition. Applying known bounds on the coefficients of post-critically bounded polynomials to these normal forms simultaneously at all places of $mathbb{Q}$, we create a finite search space of cubic polynomials over $mathbb{Q}$ that may be PCF. Using a computer search of these possibly PCF cubic polynomials, we find fifteen which are in fact PCF.
Let f be a degree d polynomial defined over the nonarchimedean field C_p, normalized so f is monic and f(0)=0. We say f is post-critically bounded, or PCB, if all of its critical points have bounded orbit under iteration of f. It is known that if p is greater than or equal to d and f is PCB, then all critical points of f have p-adic absolute value less than or equal to 1. We give a similar result for primes between d/2 and d. We also explore a one-parameter family of cubic polynomials over the 2-adic numbers to illustrate that the p-adic Mandelbrot set can be quite complicated when p is less than d, in contrast with the simple and well-understood p > d case.
Let $f:{mathbb P}^nto{mathbb P}^n$ be a morphism of degree $dge2$. The map $f$ is said to be post-critically finite (PCF) if there exist integers $kge1$ and $ellge0$ such that the critical locus $operatorname{Crit}_f$ satisfies $f^{k+ell}(operatorname{Crit}_f)subseteq{f^ell(operatorname{Crit}_f)}$. The smallest such $ell$ is called the tail-length. We prove that for $dge3$ and $nge2$, the set of PCF maps $f$ with tail-length at most $2$ is not Zariski dense in the the parameter space of all such maps. In particular, maps with periodic critical loci, i.e., with $ell=0$, are not Zariski dense.
If the $ell$-adic cohomology of a projective smooth variety, defined over a $frak{p}$-adic field $K$ with finite residue field $k$, is supported in codimension $ge 1$, then any model over the ring of integers of $K$ has a $k$-rational point. This slightly improves our earlier result math/0405318: we needed there the model to be regular (but then our result was more general: we obtained a congruence for the number of points, and $K$ could be local of characteristic $p>0$).
We generalise Dworks theory of $p$-adic formal congruences from the univariate to a multi-variate setting. We apply our results to prove integrality assertions on the Taylor coefficients of (multi-variable) mirror maps. More precisely, with $mathbf z=(z_1,z_2,...,z_d)$, we show that the Taylor coefficients of the multi-variable series $q(mathbf z)=z_iexp(G(mathbf z)/F(mathbf z))$ are integers, where $F(mathbf z)$ and $G(mathbf z)+log(z_i) F(mathbf z)$, $i=1,2,...,d$, are specific solutions of certain GKZ systems. This result implies the integrality of the Taylor coefficients of numerous families of multi-variable mirror maps of Calabi-Yau complete intersections in weighted projective spaces, as well as of many one-variable mirror maps in the Tables of Calabi-Yau equations [arXiv:math/0507430] of Almkvist, van Enckevort, van Straten and Zudilin. In particular, our results prove a conjecture of Batyrev and van Straten in [Comm. Math. Phys. 168 (1995), 493-533] on the integrality of the Taylor coefficients of canonical coordinates for a large family of such coordinates in several variables.
