We show that when ordered by height, any set of $(D,S)$-integral points on $\\mathbb{P}^1$ of bounded degree has relative density zero. We then apply this to arithmetic dynamics: let $\\varphi(z)\\in \\overline{\\mathbb{Q}}(z)$ be a rational function of degree at least two whose second iterate $\\varphi^2(z)$ is not a polynomial. We show that as we vary over points $P\\in\\mathbb{P}^1(\\overline{\\mathbb{Q}})$ of bounded degree, the number of algebraic integers in the forward orbit of $P$ is absolutely bounded and zero on average.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-07-27T21:52:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11D45", "37P15", "11G50", "11R04", "14G05" ], "keywords": [ "bounded degree", "integral points", "projective line", "dynamical orbits", "non-empty effective divisor" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
