Let f in Q[z] be a polynomial of degree d at least two. The associated canonical height hat{h}_f is a certain real-valued function on Q that returns zero precisely at preperiodic rational points of f. Morton and Silverman conjectured in 1994 that the number of such points is bounded above by a constant depending only on d. A related conjecture claims that at non-preperiodic rational points, hat{h}_f is bounded below by a positive constant (depending only on d) times some kind of height of f itself. In this paper, we provide support for these conjectures in the case d=3 by computing the set of small height points for several billion cubic polynomials.
Let $f in Q(z)$ be a polynomial or rational function of degree 2. A special case of Morton and Silvermans Dynamical Uniform Boundedness Conjecture states that the number of rational preperiodic points of $f$ is bounded above by an absolute constant.
We describe and implement an algorithm to find all post-critically finite (PCF) cubic polynomials defined over $mathbb{Q}$, up to conjugacy over $text{PGL}_2(bar{mathbb{Q}})$. We describe normal forms that classify equivalence classes of cubic polyno
Let $K$ be the function field of a smooth, irreducible curve defined over $overline{mathbb{Q}}$. Let $fin K[x]$ be of the form $f(x)=x^q+c$ where $q = p^{r}, r ge 1,$ is a power of the prime number $p$, and let $betain overline{K}$. For all $ninmathb
We give necessary and sufficient conditions for post-critically finite polynomials to have potential good reduction at a given prime. We also answer in the negative a question posed by Silverman about conservative polynomials. Both proofs rely on dyn
A rational function of degree at least two with coefficients in an algebraically closed field is post-critically finite (PCF) if all of its critical points have finite forward orbit under iteration. We show that the collection of PCF rational functio
