Abstract

We give a combinatorial classification of postsingularly finite exponential maps in terms of external addresses starting with the entry 0. This extends the classification results for critically preperiodic polynomials [2] to exponential maps. Our proof relies on the topological characterization of postsingularly finite exponential maps given recently in [14]. These results illustrate once again the fruitful interplay between combinatorics, topology and complex structure which has often been successful in complex dynamics.
