Nonexistence conjecture for quadratic 5-periodic points
Nonexistence conjecture for quadratic 5-periodic points
Let denote the union of all quadratic number fields, equivalently the set of algebraic numbers satisfying an irreducible quadratic equation over . For , consider the quadratic polynomial .
Nonexistence conjecture. There are no rational values such that has a 5-periodic point in .
The claim is presented as a consequence of the Galois conjecture together with the known nonexistence of rational 5-cycles, and is also supported by the paper's independent computational and geometric investigation. The source gives no resolution status.
