Preperiodic points for quadratic polynomials with small cycles over quadratic fields
Abstract
Given a number field and a polynomial , one can naturally construct a finite directed graph whose vertices are the -rational preperiodic points of , with an edge if and only if . The dynamical uniform boundedness conjecture of Morton and Silverman suggests that, for fixed integers and , there are only finitely many isomorphism classes of directed graphs as one ranges over all number fields of degree and polynomials of degree . In the case , Poonen has given a complete classification of all directed graphs which may be realized as for some quadratic polynomial , under the assumption that does not admit rational points of large period. The purpose of the present article is to continue the work begun by the author, Faber, and Krumm on the case . By combining the results of the previous article with a number of new results, we arrive at a partial result toward a theorem like Poonen's -- with a similar assumption on points of large period -- but over all quadratic extensions of .
