Strong local-global conjecture for periodic points of quadratic polynomials

About 11 years old · traced to

Let f∈Q[x]f\in\mathbf Q[x] be a quadratic polynomial, and let n>3n>3 be an integer. For a prime pp, write Qp\mathbf Q_p for the field of pp-adic numbers. A point has period nn for ff if its forward orbit under iteration by ff has exactly nn distinct points. Strong local-global conjecture. There exist infinitely many primes pp such that ff does not have a point of period nn in Qp\mathbf Q_p. This strengthens Poonen's conjecture by requiring the failure of a period-nn point locally at infinitely many primes. The claim is established for periods 44 and 55 in the paper's preceding theorems, while the general case remains open.
