Poonen's conjecture on rational periodic points of quadratic polynomials
Poonen's conjecture on rational periodic points of quadratic polynomials
Let . A quadratic polynomial is a polynomial of degree , and a rational point of period is an such that but for every . Poonen's conjecture. If , then there is no quadratic polynomial with a rational point of period . This extends the known non-existence results for rational periodic points of periods and ; the conjecture remains open for all .
