Eventual stability conjecture for reducible cubic polynomials

About 20 years old · traced to

Let f(z)=z3+1cf(z)=z^3+\frac{1}{c} with c∈Z∖{0}c\in\mathbb{Z}\setminus\{0\}. Here fnf^n denotes the nn-fold iterate of ff. Eventual stability conjecture. If f(z)f(z) is reducible over Q\mathbb{Q}, then fn(z)f^n(z) has exactly two irreducible factors over Q\mathbb{Q} for each n∈Nn\in\mathbb{N} and for all cc. The paper proves this for ∣c∣≤1012|c|\leq 10^{12} and conjectures that the result holds for every nonzero integer cc.
