Ample canonical height zero-set conjecture

Let XX be a smooth projective variety over Q\overline{\mathbb Q}, let ff be an endomorphism of XX with δf>1\delta_f>1, and let KK be a number field. Write Zf(K)Z_f(K) for the set of KK-rational points of XX at which the lower ample canonical height hf\underline h_f vanishes. Ample canonical height zero-set conjecture. There is an ff-invariant proper closed subset VV of XX such that Zf(K)VZ_f(K)\subseteq V. This is proposed as a dynamical analogue of the Northcott finiteness theorem; the statement is known in several cases discussed in the paper, but is not clear in general. The assumption δf>1\delta_f>1 is necessary.
