Period bound conjecture for quadratic rational maps with a rational critical 3-cycle

Let ϕ\phi be a quadratic rational function defined over Q\mathbb{Q}, and let a critical 33-cycle be the set of iterates of a periodic critical point of period 33. Period bound conjecture for a rational critical 3-cycle. The map ϕ\phi has no Q\mathbb{Q}-rational periodic points of period greater than 22 lying outside the critical cycle. The source proves that periods 33 and 44 cannot occur outside the critical cycle, but the asserted exclusion of all greater periods remains open.
