Quadratic-field preperiodic graph conjecture

At least 10 years old · documented by

Let K/QK/\mathbb{Q} be a quadratic field and let f∈K[z]f\in K[z] be a quadratic polynomial. Let PrePer⁡(f,K)\operatorname{PrePer}(f,K) be the set of KK-rational preperiodic points of ff, and let G(f,K)G(f,K) be its directed preperiodic graph. Quadratic-field preperiodic graph conjecture. One has

#PrePer⁡(f,K)≤15.\#\operatorname{PrePer}(f,K)\leq 15.

Moreover, the only graphs that may occur, up to isomorphism, as G(f,K)G(f,K) are the 4646 graphs appearing in the paper's appendix.

The conjecture is based on extensive computations over quadratic fields and seeks a complete classification of preperiodic graphs for quadratic polynomials over such fields. It remains open.
