Morton–Silverman uniform boundedness conjecture for preperiodic points
Let , , and let be a number field. Define
Morton–Silverman conjecture. There exists a constant such that every degree endomorphism of over satisfies
This is the number-field analogue of the geometric uniform boundedness conjecture. The source discusses substantial partial results and explicit bounds in special families, while the general statement remains open.
