Uniform boundedness conjecture for finite orbits of rational maps
Uniform boundedness conjecture for finite orbits of rational maps
Let be a number field, let be an integer, and let be a set of rational maps defined over such that for all . A point has finite orbit for if its forward orbit under all compositions of maps in is finite. Uniform boundedness conjecture for finite orbits. There exist constants and , depending only on and , such that if , then there are at most points of finite orbit for . Equivalently, for any positive probability measure on , the expected height satisfies
This is proposed as an analogue for sets of maps of the Morton–Silverman conjecture for a single rational map. The conjecture asks for uniform bounds depending only on the number field and the degree bound, while the existence and properties of the relevant expected height are supplied by the surrounding theory.
