[#R359] The finite-field literature gives statistical context

View evidenceOpen source ↗

1Summary

Two primary papers treat reversible Hénon reductions and their cycle model; the audit found no p=65537 decomposition for this map.

Roberts and Vivaldi's 2005 paper studies time-reversal symmetry in polynomial automorphisms over finite fields, including area-preserving Hénon maps and their cycle statistics. Their 2009 paper develops the associated random-involution model and its universal limiting distribution.

The displayed reversing identity puts this problem in that setting. The two papers discuss asymptotic behavior and computations at other moduli. The focused formula, title, and citation audit found no published complete decomposition for \(y^2+1-x\) at \(p=65537\). This fixture therefore records 294,672 as a certified lower bound and leaves the finite maximum unresolved.

Supported evidence. Recorded scope: published finite-field cycle results relevant to H(x,y)=(y,y^2+1-x) at p=65537.
