Finite-orbit conjecture for sufficiently large sets of quadratic polynomials

Let S={x2+c1,x2+c2,,x2+cs}S=\{x^2+c_1,x^2+c_2,\dots,x^2+c_s\} be a set of distinct quadratic polynomials with ciQc_i\in\mathbb{Q}. A point PQP\in\mathbb{Q} has finite orbit for SS if its forward orbit under all compositions of maps in SS is finite. Finite-orbit conjecture for large sets. If #S4\#S\geq4, then there are no points PQP\in\mathbb{Q} with finite orbit for SS. This is obtained in the paper by combining the preceding conjecture with the stated classification theorem; it extends the unconditional result under the hypothesis that the maximum exact rational period is at most three.
