Fixed-point lifting and ghost periodic points for Chebyshev polynomials modulo odd prime powers

Let $p$ be an odd prime, let $n\ge2$, and let the $n$th Chebyshev polynomial $T_n$ act on $\Z/p^k\Z$. We count fixed and exact-periodic points, allowing non-permutation degrees, and organize the finite-field formulas by the two source groups needed for prime-power lifting. Over $\Fp$ we record the four-GCD fixed-point formula $$N_1=\frac{\gcd(n-1,p-1)+\gcd(n+1,p-1)+\gcd(n-1,p+1)+\gcd(n+1,p+1)-2\delta}{2},$$ where $\delta=\gcd(n-1,2)$. The proof separates split and nonsplit source groups for $a=(\zeta+\zeta^{-1})/2$ and counts degenerate fixed residues branch-wise. For every odd $p$, $$N_2=N_1+d(p-1).$$ Here $d$ denotes the number of fixed residue classes $a\in\Fp$ for which $T_n'(a)\equiv1\pmod p$. For $p\ge5$ and all $k\ge1$, $$N_k=N_1+d\bigl(p^{\min(k-1,\nup(n^2-1))}-1\bigr).$$ This all-level formula does not extend unchanged to $p=3$, where boundary $p$-adic estimates at $a=\pm1$ can fail; the first-lift formula remains valid. For periods, we use the Chebyshev order $$\cord_e(n)=\min\{r\ge1:n^r\equiv\pm1\pmod e\}.$$ A source-order-$e$ point is periodic over $\Fp$ exactly when $\gcd(n,e)=1$, with period $\cord_e(n)$. M\"obius inversion for the iterates $T_{n^j}$ gives exact-period point counts over $\Z/p^k\Z$ for all odd $p$; for $p\ge5$, the all-level fixed-point formula gives closed forms. When $p\nmid n$, orbitwise lifting modulo $p^2$ gives either full period retention or one Hensel lift plus ghost periodic points of period $\cord_{ep}(n)$. For $p\ge5$, higher lifts above a periodic residue are governed by the tower $\cord_{ep^q}(n)$.
