Abstract

Let K be a complete, algebraically closed non-Archimedean valued field, and let φ(z) ∈ K(z) have degree two. We describe the crucial set of φ in terms of the multipliers of φ at the classical fixed points, and use this to show that the crucial set determines a stratification of the moduli space M2(K) related to the reduction type of φ. We apply this to settle a special case of a conjecture of Hsia regarding the density of repelling periodic points in the classical non-Archimedean Julia set.
