Abstract
In 2014, Juul, Kurlberg, Madhu and Tucker asked the following: given a number field and a rational function with coefficients in , if denotes the reduction of modulo a prime ideal in the ring of integers of , what is the limit inferior of the proportion of periodic points of when the norm of goes to infinity? Recent results of Fari\~na-Asategui and the author show that when is a polynomial of degree non-linearly conjugate over to a Chebyshev polynomial then the limit is zero. In this article, we address the remaining cases to give a complete classification of the problem in the case of polynomials.
