Finiteness conjecture for monic cubics with depth-one emergent reducibility

About 12 years old · traced to

A monic cubic with depth-one emergent reducibility is a monic polynomial f(x)∈Z[x]f(x)\in\mathbb{Z}[x] of degree 33 that is irreducible, while its first self-composition f∘ff\circ f is reducible. Finiteness conjecture. There are only finitely many monic cubics in Z[x]\mathbb{Z}[x] with depth-one emergent reducibility. The known examples include several monic integral cubics with coefficients of absolute value less than 500500, while the conjecture asserts that this list is finite.
