Invariance of topological entropy under complete metrized field extension

From papers

Let kk be a complete metrized field, let XX be a projective variety defined over kk, and let f ⁣:XXf\colon X\dashrightarrow X be a dominant rational map. For any complete metrized field extension K/kK/k, let XKX_K be the base change of XX and let fK ⁣:XKXKf_K\colon X_K\dashrightarrow X_K be the rational self-map induced by base change. Entropy-invariance problem. One asks whether

htop(fK)=htop(f).\operatorname{h_{top}}(f_K)=\operatorname{h_{top}}(f).

The problem concerns whether the topological entropy defined for rational maps is unchanged after extending the complete metrized ground field. The source presents this as an open problem; for regular maps, the entropy agrees with that of the induced action on the Berkovich analytification.
