Arithmetic properties of $3$-cycles of quadratic maps over $\mathbb{Q}$

Abstract

It is shown that c=29/16c=-29/16 is the unique rational number of smallest denominator, and the unique rational number of smallest numerator, for which the map fc(x)=x2+cf_c(x) = x^2+c has a rational periodic point of period 33. Several arithmetic conditions on the set of all such rational numbers cc and the rational orbits of fc(x)f_c(x) are proved. A graph on the numerators of the rational 33-periodic points of maps fcf_c is considered which reflects connections between solutions of norm equations from the cubic field of discriminant 23-23.
