Abstract

In this article, we study the set of parameters cCc \in \mathbb{C} for which two given complex numbers aa and bb are simultaneously preperiodic for the quadratic polynomial fc(z)=z2+cf_{c}(z) = z^{2} +c. Combining complex-analytic and arithmetic arguments, Baker and DeMarco showed that this set of parameters is infinite if and only if a2=b2a^{2} = b^{2}. Recently, Buff answered a question of theirs, proving that the set of parameters cCc \in \mathbb{C} for which both 00 and 11 are preperiodic for fcf_{c} is equal to {2,1,0}\lbrace -2, -1, 0 \rbrace. Following his approach, we complete the description of these sets when aa and bb are two given integers with ab\lvert a \rvert \neq \lvert b \rvert.
