Abstract:

We study endomorphisms constructed by Sarah Koch in [Teichmüller theory and critically finite endomorphisms, Advances in Mathematics 248 (2013), 573–617] and we focus on the eigenvalues of the differential of such maps at its fixed points. To each post-critically finite unicritical polynomial, Koch associated a post-critically algebraic endomorphism of ${\mathbb {CP}}^k$. Koch showed that the eigenvalues of the differentials of such maps along periodic cycles outside the post-critical sets have modulus strictly greater than $1$. In this article, we show that the eigenvalues of the differentials at fixed points are either $0$ or have modulus strictly greater than $1$. This confirms a conjecture proposed by the author in his thesis. We also provide a concrete description of such values in terms of the multiplier of a unicritical polynomial.
