Abstract in another language

Let ϕ be an endomorphism of degree d≥2 of the projective line, defined over a number field K. Let S be a finite set of places of K, including the archimedean places, such that ϕ has good reduction outside S. The article presents two main results. The first result is a bound on the number of K-rational preperiodic points of ϕ in terms of the cardinality of S and the degree d of ϕ. This bound is quadratic in d, which is a significant improvement to all previous bounds in terms of d. The second result is that if there is a K-rational periodic point of period at least 2, then there exists a bound on the number of K-rational preperiodic points of ϕ that is linear in d.
