Cycles for rational maps of good reduction outside a prescribed set

Abstract: Let

K

be a number field and

S

a fixed finite set of places of

K

containing all the archimedean ones. Let

R_{S}

be the ring of

S

-integers of

K

. In the present paper we study the cycles for rational maps of

m a t h b b P_{1} (K)

of degree

g e q 2

with good reduction outside

S

. We say that two ordered

n

-tuples

(P_{0}, P_{1}, ..., P_{n - 1})

and

(Q_{0}, Q_{1}, ..., Q_{n - 1})

of points of

m a t h b b P_{1} (K)

are equivalent if there exists an automorphism

A i n {m P G L}_{2} (R_{S})

such that

P_{i} = A (Q_{i})

for every index

i i n 0, 1, ..., n - 1

. We prove that if we fix two points

P_{0}, P_{1} i n m a t h b b P_{1} (K)

, then the number of inequivalent cycles for rational maps of degree

g e q 2

with good reduction outside

S

which admit

P_{0}, P_{1}

as consecutive points is finite and depends only on

S

. We also prove that this result is in a sense best possible.
