[#R361] The map is a reversible area-preserving Hénon map
claim. Coordinate swap reverses H, placing its finite-field cycles in the Roberts and Vivaldi setting.
1Summary
The Jacobian determinant of \(H\) is one. For the coordinate swap \(R(x,y)=(y,x)\), direct substitution gives \[ RHR=H^{-1},\qquad H^{-1}(u,v)=(u^2+1-v,u). \] Thus \(H\) is a reversible quadratic Hénon map. Both reversing involutions have 65,537 fixed points at the target prime: \(R\) fixes the diagonal, and \(HR(x,y)=(x,x^2+1-y)\) fixes \(2y=x^2+1\).
Roberts and Vivaldi use fixed sets of reversing involutions to study cycle statistics for finite-field reductions of this class. Their model predicts distributions and typical scales. It supplies no finite upper bound for the longest cycle at \(p=65537\).
Established evidence. Recorded scope: the maps H(x,y)=(y,y^2+1-x) over fields of odd characteristic.
