Philippon's zero-height conjecture for subvarieties in polarized dynamical systems
Philippon's zero-height conjecture for subvarieties in polarized dynamical systems
Let be a polarized dynamical system defined over a number field, and let be a subvariety of with canonical subvariety height . A subvariety is preperiodic when there exist integers and such that . Philippon's zero-height conjecture. If
then is preperiodic. Preperiodic subvarieties have canonical height zero, so the conjecture is the converse implication. The source attributes the question to Philippon and states that it is equivalent to the dynamical Bogomolov conjecture; it remains open in general, despite the known cases for abelian and related systems.
