Potential good reduction of degree 2 rational maps

We give a complete characterization of degree two rational maps with potential good reduction over local fields. We show this happens exactly when the map corresponds to an integral point in the moduli space. We detail an algorithm by which to conjugate any degree two rational map corresponding to an integral point in the moduli space into a map with unit resultant. The local fields result is used to solve the same problem for fields over a principal ideal domain. Some additional results are given for degree 2 rational maps over the rationals.
