Conjecture on uniqueness of rational maps from a numerator of a 3-cycle
Let and be the integer forms parametrizing rational -cycles of maps , and let satisfy and . Numerator-uniqueness conjecture. If , then is the only rational number with numerator for which has a rational -cycle. Equivalently, for , the equation
has either or solutions satisfying and . The conjecture was checked computationally for ; proving it amounts to establishing uniqueness of the relevant norm representations beyond the six transformations described in the paper.
