The linear-subspace conjecture for inverse-periodic subvarieties of projective space

Let X:=PnX:=\mathbb{P}^n, let f:XXf:X\to X be an endomorphism with deg(f)2\deg(f)\geq 2, and let YY be a closed subvariety of XX. The linear-subspace conjecture. If YY is f1f^{-1}-invariant or f1f^{-1}-periodic, then YY is a linear subspace of XX. This conjecture arises in the study of dynamical systems. The source lists known cases due to several works, but does not state that the conjecture is completely resolved.
