Abstract
Let be a quadratic rational map defined over the rational field with nonabelian automorphism group. We prove that no such map has a -rational periodic point with exact period . We also give an explicit parametrization of such maps that have -rational periodic points of period , , and . Consequently, we show that the number of -rational preperiodic points of such a map is at most ; establishing Morton-Silverman Uniform Boundedness Conjecture for this family of quadratic rational maps. As a result, we completely classify all portraits of -rational preperiodic points for such showing that there are exactly such portraits.
