Uniform Boundedness Conjecture for quadratic polynomials

Let fc(x)=x2+cQ[x]f_c(x)=x^2+c\in\mathbb{Q}[x] be a quadratic polynomial, and let a rational point have exact period nn if its period is nn and no smaller positive period. Uniform Boundedness Conjecture for x2+cx^2+c. If n4n\geq 4, then no such polynomial has a rational point of exact period nn. This is the quadratic-polynomial case of uniform boundedness. The source states that the cases n=4n=4 and n=5n=5 are proved, while the case n=6n=6 is known conditionally on the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture for a certain genus-four curve.
