2Authored explanation

Set \[ a=x+1,\qquad b=x-y+1. \] Then the kicked map becomes \[ H(a,b)=(a^2+1-b,a), \] the quadratic area-preserving Hénon form. Its Jacobian determinant is one. The coordinate swap \(R(a,b)=(b,a)\) is a reversing involution because \[ RHR=H^{-1},\qquad H^{-1}(a,b)=(b,b^2+1-a). \] Equivalently, \(H=(HR)R\) is a product of two involutions. Each involution has \(p\) fixed points over \(\mathbb F_p\) when \(p\) is odd.

Roberts and Vivaldi study finite-field reductions of this reversible Hénon class and the resulting cycle statistics. Their asymptotic random-involution model has natural period scale \(p\) in this case. The certified period here is about \(11.656477p\). That model supplies context and no finite upper bound for this particular prime.
