Abstract
Suppose f : S 2 → S 2 is a postcritically finite branched covering without periodic branch points. If f is the subdivision map of a finite subdivision rule with mesh going to zero combinatorially, then the virtual endomorphism on the orbifold fundamental group associated to f is contracting. This is a first step in a program to clarify the relationships among various notions of expansion for noninvertible dynamical systems with branching behavior.
