Ih's finiteness conjecture for S-integral preperiodic points

From papers

Let KK be a number field, let SS be a finite set of places of KK containing all archimedean places, and let f:P1P1f:\mathbb{P}^1\to\mathbb{P}^1 be a rational map of degree at least 22 defined over KK. A point αP1(K)\alpha\in\mathbb{P}^1(\overline K) is SS-integral relative to βP1(K)\beta\in\mathbb{P}^1(\overline K) if no conjugate of α\alpha meets any conjugate of β\beta at primes outside SS. A point is preperiodic for ff if fn+m(α)=fm(α)f^{n+m}(\alpha)=f^m(\alpha) for some n1n\geq1 and m0m\geq0. Ih's conjecture. If βP1(K)\beta\in\mathbb{P}^1(\overline K) is not preperiodic for ff, then there are only finitely many preperiodic points αP1(K)\alpha\in\mathbb{P}^1(\overline K) for ff that are SS-integral relative to β\beta. This is a dynamical analogue of finiteness results for integral points and is known under certain local conditions on the non-preperiodic point β\beta, but remains open for a general rational map.
