Abstract
Let be a number field. Given a quadratic polynomial , we can construct a directed graph (also called a portrait), whose vertices are -rational preperiodic points for , with an edge if and only if . Poonen and Faber classified the portraits that occur for infinitely many 's. Given a portrait , we prove an asymptotic formula for counting the number of 's by height, such that . We also prove an asymptotic formula for the analogous counting problem, where for some quadratic extension . These results are conditioned on Morton-Silverman conjecture.
