Rational period conjecture for quadratic polynomials
Rational period conjecture for quadratic polynomials
Let be an integer with , and let be a quadratic polynomial. A point is of exact period if its forward orbit under has least period . Rational period conjecture. If , then there is no quadratic polynomial with a rational point of exact period .
This is a basic case of the conjectural classification of rational preperiodic points for quadratic polynomials over . The paper studies the resulting classification under this assumption; the source does not provide evidence that the conjecture has been resolved.
