A Dynamical Lifting Problem For Additive Polynomials

Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: We introduce a dynamical analogue of the lifting problem for Galois covers of algebraic curves and find a negative solution for the collection of separable additive and semi-additive polynomials over $\overline{\mathbb{F}}_p$. We also explicitly compute the dimension of the space of linear conjugacy classes in $\mathcal{M}_{p^m}(\overline{\mathbb{F}}_p)$ which contain additive or semi-additive polynomials providing explicit counterexamples to Thurston Rigidity in positive characteristic.
