Abstract
It is shown that is the unique rational number of smallest denominator, and the unique rational number of smallest numerator, for which the map has a rational periodic point of period . Several arithmetic conditions on the set of all such rational numbers and the rational orbits of are proved. A graph on the numerators of the rational -periodic points of maps is considered which reflects connections between solutions of norm equations from the cubic field of discriminant .
