Zhang's dynamical Manin–Mumford conjecture
Let be a variety and let be a dominant map. A point of is preperiodic for if its forward orbit under is finite, and a subvariety is preperiodic if some two iterates and with are equal. Zhang's dynamical Manin–Mumford conjecture. The subvariety contains a Zariski dense subset of preperiodic points if and only if is preperiodic.
This generalizes the Manin–Mumford conjecture for subvarieties of abelian varieties containing infinitely many torsion points. The status evidence supplied with the candidate says that the conjecture is a generalization of Raynaud's proved Manin–Mumford theorem, but does not establish resolution of the dynamical statement itself.
