The uniform exceptional-linear-subspace conjecture in dynamical Mordell–Lang

At least 14 years old · documented by

Let \f:Pn→Pn\f:{\mathbb P}^n\to{\mathbb P}^n be a morphism of degree d≥2d\ge2, let P∈Pn(C)P\in{\mathbb P}^n({\mathbb C}) have Zariski-dense forward orbit

O\f(P)={\fn(P):n≥0},\mathcal O_\f(P)=\{\f^n(P):n\ge0\},

and let r≥1r\ge1. An (r−1)(r-1)-dimensional linear subspace L⊂PnL\subset{\mathbb P}^n is super-spanned by r+1r+1 points if every subset of rr of them spans LL. Uniform exceptional-linear-subspace conjecture. There are only finitely many such LL for which L∩O\f(P)L\cap\mathcal O_\f(P) contains r+1r+1 points super-spanning LL, and their number is bounded by a function depending only on nn and dd. The conjecture concerns exceptional intersections of dense orbits with linear spaces; the paper proves special cases, while the stated general uniform bound remains open.
