Explicit Arithmetic Distance Motivated by...
Motivating by the study of Tits alternative in arithmetic dynamics, we investigate the arithmetic distance between distinct rational maps $f,\ g: \mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{Q})\to \mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{Q})$ defined by $$\hat{\Delta}(f,g)=\sup_{x\in \mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{Q})}|\hat{h}_f(x)-\hat{h}_g(x)|$$ Moreover, when $g$ is monomial, the arithmetic distance is invariant under conjugation by elements of $\operatorname{PGL}_2$. This motivate the definition of the arithmetic...
