Abstract

Let a, b ∈ Q¯ be such that exactly one of a and b is an algebraic integer, and let ft(z) := z2 + t be a family of polynomials parameterized by t ∈ Q¯. We prove that the set of all t ∈ Q¯ for which there exist m, n ≥ 0 such that ftm(a) = ftn(b) has bounded height. This is a special case of a more general result supporting a new bounded height conjecture in arithmetic dynamics.
