Odabaş's arithmetic exceptionality conjecture for Lattès maps

Let kk be a positive integer, let E/QE/\mathbb{Q} be an elliptic curve, and let LkL_k be the kk-th Lattès map attached to EE. A rational function is arithmetically exceptional if it induces a permutation of P1(Fp)\mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{F}_p) for infinitely many primes pp. Odabaş's conjecture. The map LkL_k is arithmetically exceptional if and only if EE possesses no kk-torsion point whose xx-coordinate is rational. This conjecture connects permutation behavior of Lattès maps over finite fields with the rational torsion structure of elliptic curves. The paper proves it for elliptic curves with complex multiplication by an imaginary quadratic field other than Q(11)\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-11}), and shows that it fails for curves with complex multiplication by Q(11)\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-11}) when 6k6\mid k; partial results are also obtained for non-CM curves.
