Uniform Boundedness of Rational Points and Preperiodic Points
نویسنده
چکیده
We ask questions generalizing uniform versions of conjectures of Mordell and Lang and combining them with the Morton–Silverman conjecture on preperiodic points. We prove a few results relating different versions of such questions.

Gonality of Dynatomic Curves and Strong Uniform Boundedness of Preperiodic Points
Fix d ≥ 2 and a field k such that char k d. Assume that k contains the dth roots of 1. Then the irreducible components of the curves over k parameterizing preperiodic points of polynomials of the form z + c are geometrically irreducible and have gonality tending to ∞. This implies the function field analogue of the strong uniform boundedness conjecture for preperiodic points of z + c. It also h...
متن کاملPreperiodic Points of Polynomials over Global Fields
Given a global field K and a polynomial φ defined over K of degree at least two, Morton and Silverman conjectured in 1994 that the number of K-rational preperiodic points of φ is bounded in terms of only the degree of K and the degree of φ. In 1997, for quadratic polynomials over K = Q, Call and Goldstine proved a bound which was exponential in s, the number of primes of bad reduction of φ. By ...
متن کاملComputing Points of Small Height for Cubic Polynomials
Let φ ∈ Q[z] be a polynomial of degree d at least two. The associated canonical height ĥφ is a certain real-valued function on Q that returns zero precisely at preperiodic rational points of φ. Morton and Silverman conjectured in 1994 that the number of such points is bounded above by a constant depending only on d. A related conjecture claims that at non-preperiodic rational points, ĥφ is boun...
متن کاملSmall Dynamical Heights for Quadratic Polynomials and Rational Functions
Let φ ∈ Q(z) be a polynomial or rational function of degree 2. A special case of Morton and Silverman’s Dynamical Uniform Boundedness Conjecture states that the number of rational preperiodic points of φ is bounded above by an absolute constant. A related conjecture of Silverman states that the canonical height ĥφ(x) of a non-preperiodic rational point x is bounded below by a uniform multiple o...
متن کاملThe Complete Classification of Rational Preperiodic Points of Quadratic Polynomials over Q: a Refined Conjecture
We classify the graphs that can occur as the graph of rational preperiodic points of a quadratic polynomial over Q, assuming the conjecture that it is impossible to have rational points of period 4 or higher. In particular, we show under this assumption that the number of preperiodic points is at most 9. Elliptic curves of small conductor and the genus 2 modular curves X1(13), X1(16), and X1(18...
