Uniform boundedness conjecture for rational maps of the form zd+g(z)z^d+g(z)

At least 13 years old · documented by

Let g(z)g(z) be any rational map, and for an integer dd define

fd,g(z)=zd+g(z).f_{d,g}(z)=z^d+g(z).

For a number field KK, let Preper⁡(fd,g,K)\operatorname{Preper}(f_{d,g},K) denote the set of KK-rational preperiodic points of fd,gf_{d,g}. Uniform boundedness conjecture. For every rational map gg and every positive integer DD, there exists a constant C(g,D)C(g,D) such that for every number field KK with [K:Q]=D[K:\mathbb{Q}]=D,

#Preper⁡(fd,g,K)<C(g,D).\#\operatorname{Preper}(f_{d,g},K)<C(g,D).

The conjecture reflects computational evidence for uniform boundedness in several families as the degree dd varies. The source gives no proof or counterexample.
