Quadratic rational functions with a rational periodic critical point of period 3
Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux, Tome 31 (2019) no. 1, pp. 49-79.

Nous établissons une classification complète des graphes des points rationnels prépériodiques des fonctions rationnelles de degré 2 ayant un point critique rationnel de période 3 sous les hypothèses suivantes : ces fonctions n’admettent pas de points de période supérieure à 5 et une certaine conjecture sur le nombre de points rationnels sur une courbe affine plane de genre 6 est vraie. Nous montrons qu’il y a exactement six graphes possibles et que les fonctions associées possèdent au plus onze points prépériodiques.

We provide a complete classification of possible graphs of rational preperiodic points of quadratic rational functions defined over the rationals with a rational periodic critical point of period 3, under two assumptions: that these functions have no periodic points of period at least 5 and the conjectured enumeration of rational points on a certain genus 6 affine plane curve. We show that there are exactly six such possible graphs, and that rational functions satisfying the conditions above have at most eleven rational preperiodic points.
