Lagarias' Periodicity Conjecture for the 3x+1 conjugacy map
Lagarias' Periodicity Conjecture for the 3x+1 conjugacy map
Let denote the ring of 2-adic integers, and let be the 3x+1 conjugacy map. A 2-adic integer is rational when it belongs to . Lagarias' Periodicity Conjecture. For every , is rational if and only if is rational. This conjecture would imply that every rational point of is preperiodic under the 3x+1 map; the supplied text gives no resolution evidence beyond its attribution to Lagarias.
