Bounded Height in Families of Dynamical Systems
(Oxford University PressInternational Mathematics Research Notices, 2017-08-29)
Let a, b ∈ $\bar{\mathbb{Q}}$ be such that exactly one of a and b is an algebraic integer, and let f$_{t}$(z) := z$^{2}$ + t be a family of polynomials parameterized by t ∈ $\bar{\mathbb{Q}}$. We prove that the set of all ...
