Finite invariant-set conjecture for exactly solvable operators
Let be an invertible linear operator and let contain at least two points and have finite cardinality. A finite invariant-set conjecture asserts that
where is a Möbius map satisfying for some . In the special case where sends every degree- polynomial to a degree- polynomial, is induced by a rotation through a rational angle: after a linear change of variables,
for some root of unity . This conjecture seeks to classify invertible operators admitting finite invariant sets with at least two points; the stated finite-cardinality hypothesis and the distinction between the general Möbius form and the degree-preserving special case are essential to the proposed classification.
