Looper" ], "categories": [ "math.NT", "math.DS" ], "abstract": "We prove that if $f$ is a polynomial over a number field $K$ with a finite superattracting periodic point and a non-archimedean place of bad reduction, then there is an $\\epsilon>0$ such that only finitely many $P\\in K^{\\text{ab}}$ have canonical height less than $\\epsilon$ with respect to $f$. The key ingredient is the geometry of the filled Julia set at a place of bad reduction. We also prove a conditional uniform boundedness result for the $K$-rational preperiodic points of such polynomials, as well as a uniform lower bound on the canonical height of non-preperiodic points in $K$. We further prove unconditional analogues of these results in the function field setting.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-06-24T13:31:43.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11G50", "37P05", "37P35", "37P40" ], "keywords": [ "canonical height", "bogomolov property", "conditional uniform boundedness result", "bad reduction", "finite superattracting periodic point" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
