Ih's finiteness conjecture for preperiodic points of rational-function semigroups

About 2 years old · traced to

Let KK be a number field and let SS be a finite set of places of KK containing all archimedean ones. Let f1,…,fs:P1→P1f_1,\ldots,f_s:\mathbb{P}^1\to\mathbb{P}^1 be rational maps of degree at least 22 defined over KK, and let G:=⟨f1,…,fs⟩{\mathcal G}:=\langle f_1,\ldots,f_s\rangle. A point α∈P1(K‾)\alpha\in\mathbb{P}^1(\overline K) is preperiodic for G{\mathcal G} if fi1⋯in(α)=fi1⋯im(α)f_{i_1\cdots i_n}(\alpha)=f_{i_1\cdots i_m}(\alpha) for some n>m≥0n>m\geq0 and i1,…,in∈{1,…,s}i_1,\ldots,i_n\in\{1,\ldots,s\}. Semigroup Ih conjecture. If β∈P1(K‾)\beta\in\mathbb{P}^1(\overline K) is not preperiodic for G{\mathcal G}, then there are only finitely many preperiodic points α∈P1(K‾)\alpha\in\mathbb{P}^1(\overline K) for G{\mathcal G} which are SS-integral relative to β\beta. This is the proposed integrality generalization for finitely generated semigroups of rational functions; the source does not provide a resolution.
