An arithmetic approach to parabolic multiplicity in complex dynamics

When $\omega$ is a primitive $n$-th root of unity, the quadratic polynomial $F(z) = \omega z (1 -z)$ and the entire map $F(z) = \omega z \mathrm{e}^{-z}$ both have a parabolic fixed point at $0$. Their parabolic multiplicity is equal to $1$, that is, $F^{\circ n}(z) = z \bigl( 1 +c z^n +\mathcal{O}(z^{n+1}) \bigr)$ wit...
