Linearity conjecture for totally invariant prime divisors of projective space

From papers

Let DPnD\subset \mathbb{P}^{n} be a prime divisor. It is totally invariant if there exists a non-isomorphic endomorphism f ⁣:PnPnf\colon \mathbb{P}^{n}\to\mathbb{P}^{n} such that

f1(D)=D.f^{-1}(D)=D.

Linearity conjecture. Every totally invariant prime divisor of Pn\mathbb{P}^{n} is linear.

This conjecture predicts that totally invariant divisors of projective space are unions of hyperplanes; for a prime divisor, this means a hyperplane. The paper establishes an upper bound for the degree of a totally invariant divisor and proves linearity when the divisor has isolated singularities, but the general statement remains open.
