The Flynn–Poonen conjecture on rational cycles of quadratic polynomials
The Flynn–Poonen conjecture on rational cycles of quadratic polynomials
Let and let be a quadratic polynomial. A rational point has exact period if its least positive period under iteration by is .
Flynn–Poonen conjecture. There is no quadratic polynomial with a rational point of exact period .
This is a specific uniformity question for rational periodic points of quadratic polynomials, attributed in the source to Flynn and Poonen. The supplied text does not state a resolution, so the conjecture is recorded as open.
