The strengthened Zariski dense orbit conjecture for birational maps of dynamical degree one

From papers

Let XX be a smooth projective variety defined over an algebraically closed field KK of characteristic 00, and let ϕ:XX\phi:X\dashrightarrow X be a birational self-map. Its first dynamical degree is λ1(ϕ)=limn((ϕn)LLd1)1/n\lambda_1(\phi)=\lim_{n\to\infty}((\phi^n)^*\mathcal{L}\cdot\mathcal{L}^{d-1})^{1/n} for an ample line bundle L\mathcal{L} on XX, where d=dimXd=\dim X. A subvariety YXY\subset X is invariant under ϕ\phi if ϕY\phi|_Y induces a dominant rational self-map of YY. The strengthened Zariski dense orbit conjecture. If λ1(ϕ)=1\lambda_1(\phi)=1, exactly one of the following holds: there exists a non-constant rational function f:XP1f:X\dashrightarrow\mathbb{P}^1 such that fϕ=ff\circ\phi=f, or there exists a proper subvariety YXY\subset X containing every proper invariant subvariety ZXZ\subset X. This strengthens the usual Zariski dense orbit conjecture by replacing the existence of a dense orbit with a common proper container for all proper invariant subvarieties; the source presents it as open.
