Benedetto–Ih finiteness conjecture for S-integral post-critically finite parameters

From papers

Let KK be a number field, let SS be a finite set of places of KK containing all archimedean places, and let β\beta be SS-integral relative to βK\beta'\in\overline{K} when no conjugate of β\beta meets any conjugate of β\beta' in the same residue class at any place outside SS. Let fd,cf_{d,c} denote the degree-dd polynomial family considered in the source, and let αK\alpha\in\overline{K}.

Benedetto–Ih conjecture. If fd,αf_{d,\alpha} is not post-critically finite, then there are finitely many parameters cKc\in\overline{K} that are SS-integral relative to (α)(\alpha) and for which fd,cf_{d,c} is post-critically finite.

This conjecture asserts a finiteness property for post-critically finite parameters satisfying an arithmetic integrality condition relative to a non-post-critically finite parameter. Its status is not determined by the supplied material.
