Arithmetic dynamical Mordell–Lang conjecture for P1\mathbb{P}^1

About 11 years old · traced to

Let X=P1X=\mathbb{P}^1, and let YY be a curve defined over a field KK of characteristic zero. Suppose that λ:Y→X\lambda:Y\to X is a finite KK-morphism and that ϕ:X→X\phi:X\to X is a morphism of degree at least two. For a∈X(K)a\in X(K), Arithmetic dynamical Mordell–Lang conjecture for P1\mathbb{P}^1. The set

{n≥0:ϕn(a)∈λ(Y(K))}\{n\geq 0:\phi^n(a)\in\lambda(Y(K))\}

is a finite union of arithmetic progressions. This is the arithmetic analogue proposed in the paper; the paper also discusses possible higher-dimensional generalizations, but gives no resolution of this statement.
