Distribution of postcritically finite polynomials

Abstract

We prove that Misiurewicz parameters with prescribed combinatorics and hyperbolic parameters with (d − 1) distinct attracting cycles with given multipliers are equidistributed with respect to the bifurcation measure in the moduli space of degree d complex polynomials. Our proof relies on Yuan’s equidistribution results of points of small heights, and uses in a crucial way Epstein’s transversality results.
