In the moduli space of one variable complex cubic polynomials with a marked critical point, given any $p \ge 1$, we prove that the loci formed by polynomials with the marked critical point periodic of period $p$ is an irreducible curve. Our methods rely on techniques used to study one-complex-dimensional parameter spaces. This is joint work with Matthieu Arfeux.
