Density-one local-global conjecture for periodic points of quadratic polynomials

Let fQ[x]f\in\mathbf Q[x] be a quadratic polynomial, and let n>3n>3 be an integer. Let Φn,f\Phi_{n,f} denote the period-nn dynatomic polynomial of ff, and let SΦn,f\mathcal S_{\Phi_{n,f}} be the set of primes at which the relevant local period-nn condition holds; write δ(SΦn,f)\delta(\mathcal S_{\Phi_{n,f}}) for its density. Density-one local-global conjecture. One has

δ(SΦn,f)<1.\delta(\mathcal S_{\Phi_{n,f}})<1.

This is a stronger formulation of the local-global principle considered in the paper: the relevant period-nn condition should fail on a positive-density set of primes. The statement is proved in the paper under the associated period-55 rational-point hypothesis, but remains open in general.
