Preperiodic points and zero sets of commuting formal power series
Preperiodic points and zero sets of commuting formal power series
Let be a prime, let , and write . Let denote the preperiodic points of , and let denote the zero set of . Preperiodic-zero-set conjecture. If are respectively invertible and noninvertible power series without constant term, satisfy
and and all its iterates have finitely many fixed points, then
This generalizes the preceding two-dimensional result and the analogous one-variable results. The paper identifies the difficulty in proving the higher-dimensional assertion as the lack of sufficiently effective control of Newton copolygons, so the conjecture remains open.
