Abstract

Let KK be a number field and SS a finite set of places of KK that contains all of the archimedean places. Let φ:P1P1\varphi: \mathbb{P}^1 \to \mathbb{P}^1 be a rational map of degree d2d \geq 2 defined over KK. Given αP1(K)\alpha \in \mathbb{P}^1(K) non-preperiodic and βP1(K)\beta \in \mathbb{P}^1(K) non-exceptional, we prove an upper bound of the form O(S1+ϵ)O(|S|^{1+\epsilon}) on the number of points in the forward orbit of α\alpha that are SS-integral relative to β\beta, extending results of Hsia--Silverman [HS11]. We also prove uniform bounds when φ\varphi is a polynomial, extending resaults of Krieger et al [KLS+15].
