Positive-characteristic dense-orbit conjecture over transcendental fields

From papers

Let kk be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0p>0 that is transcendental over Fp\mathbb{F}_p. Let XX be a quasi-projective variety over kk and let f:XXf:X\to X be a dominant endomorphism. Assume that there is no nonconstant rational function gg satisfying gf=gg\circ f=g.

Positive-characteristic dense-orbit conjecture. There exists a point xX(k)x\in X(k) whose orbit is Zariski dense in XX.

The source explains that the analogous assertion fails over the algebraic closure of a finite field because all point-orbits are finite, and proposes this transcendental-field version as the expected replacement.
