Abstract

We apply Thurston's equivalence theory between dynamical systems of post-critically finite branched coverings and rational maps, to try to construct, from a pair of polynomials, a rational map. We prove that given two post-critically finite quadratic polynomials fc: z→z2+c and fc:z→ z2+c′, one can get a rational map if and only if c, c′ are not in conjugate limbs of the Mandelbrot set.
