Density of periodic points for Lattès maps over finite field

Abstract: Let

L_{d}

be the Latt`es map associated to the multiplication-by-

d

endomorphism of an elliptic curve

E

defined over a finite field

m a t h b b F_{q}

. We determine the density

d e l t a (L_{d}, q)

of periodic points for

L_{d}

in

m a t h b b P^{1} (m a t h b b F_{q})

. We show that the periodic point densities

d e l t a (L_{d}, q^{n})

converge as

n i g h t a r r o w i n f t y

along certain arithmetic progressions, and compute simple explicit formulas for

d e l t a (L_{e} l l, q)

when

e l l

is a prime and

E

belongs to a special family of supersingular elliptic curves.
