Rational periodic points for quadratic maps

Abstract: Let

K

be a number field. Let

S

be a 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 consider endomorphisms of

p r o

of degree 2, defined over

K

, with good reduction outside

S

. We prove that there exist only finitely many such endomorphisms, up to conjugation by

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

, admitting a periodic point in

p o

of order

> 3

. Also, all but finitely many classes with a periodic point in

p o

of order 3 are parametrized by an irreducible curve.
