In complex dynamics, one considers a rational function 𝑓∈ ℂ (𝑧) as a map from the Riemann sphere ℙ1 (ℂ)∶= ℂ∪{∞} to itself. One then studies the iterates of 𝑓, given by 𝑓𝑛∶= 𝑓∘⋯∘ 𝑓⏟⎵⏟⎵⏟ 𝑛 times as they act on the sphere. A rich theory follows—see, for example, the expositions in [CG93, Mil06]—with famous fractal pictures that exemplify beautiful theorems. In the past few decades, a younger, parallel theory has developed for the case that we replace ℂ with 𝑝-adic and, more generally, non-archimedean fields. Three principal motivations have driven the non-archimedean theory: seeking dynamical phenomena for comparison and contrast with the complex theory, as in [HY83, RL03]; applying local field results to number-theoretic questions, as in [BR10, Sil07]; and analyzing families of complex dynamical systems, especially at degeneration points, as in [DMF14, Kiw15].
