Periodic points and tail lengths of split polynomial maps modulo primes

preprint2017arXivOpen access

Abstract

Explicit formulas are obtained for the number of periodic points and maximum tail length of split polynomial maps over finite fields for affine and projective space. This work includes a detailed analysis of the structure of the directed graph for Chebyshev polynomials of non-prime degree in dimension 1 and the powering map in any dimension. The results are applied to an algorithm for determining the type of a given map through analysis of its cycle statistics modulo primes.
