Source abstract

Boston and Jones conjectured that given a number field KK, a quadratic polynomial f∈K[x]f\in K[x], and an element α∈Kα\in K such that the arboreal Galois representation ρf,α:Gal(K‾/K)→Aut(T∞)ρ_{f,α}:\text{Gal}(\overline{K}/K)\to \text{Aut}(T_\infty) attached to the pair (f,α)(f,α) is well defined, any element in the image of such representation that is a Frobenius for an unramified prime of KK is a settled element. We exhibit an explicit uncountable subset S⊆Aut(T∞)S\subseteq \text{Aut}(T_\infty), consisting of pairwise non-conjugate settled elements, such that no matter how K,f,αK,f,α are chosen, no element of SS can be a Frobenius for any ramified or unramified prime of KK.
