Counting the number of $m$-periodic $\mathcal{O}_{K}$-points of a discrete dynamical system with applications from arithmetic statistics, V
Abstract
In this follow-up paper, we again inspect a surprising relationship between the set of -periodic points of a polynomial map defined by for all and the coefficient , where is any number field of degree , is an integer and is any fixed (period). As before, we again study counting problems which are inspired by advances on -torsion point-counting in arithmetic statistics and -periodic point-counting in arithmetic dynamics. In doing so, we then first prove that for any prime and for any fixed and (period) , the average number of distinct -periodic integral points of any modulo prime ideal is unbounded or zero as tends to infinity. Motivated further by -rational periodic point-counting work of Benedetto along with conjectural work of Hutz on -periodic points of any for any prime and any fixed in arithmetic dynamics, we then also prove that for any fixed (period) , the average number of distinct -periodic integral points of any modulo prime is or or as . Finally, we then apply here density, polynomial-counting, field-counting, and Sato-Tate equidistribution results from arithmetic statistics, and thereby obtaining further counting and statistical results on the irreducible monic polynomials, Artin-Mazur zeta functions, algebraic number fields, and lastly on Artin -functions arising naturally in our polynomial discrete dynamical settings.
