Dynamical Lang height conjecture

About 2 years old · traced to

Let K/QK/\mathbb{Q} be a number field, let MdN\mathcal{M}_d^N be the moduli space of degree-dd endomorphisms of PN\mathbb{P}^N, and let hMh_{\mathcal{M}} be an ample height on MdN(Q‾)\mathcal{M}_d^N(\overline{\mathbb{Q}}). For f∈MdN(K)f\in\mathcal{M}_d^N(K) and P∈PN(K)P\in\mathbb{P}^N(K), let h^f(P)\widehat h_f(P) denote the canonical height. Dynamical Lang height conjecture. There exist constants C1(K,N,d)>0C_1(K,N,d)>0 and C2(K,N,d)C_2(K,N,d) such that, whenever the ff-orbit of PP is Zariski dense,

h^f(P)≥C1hM(f)−C2.\widehat h_f(P)\geq C_1h_{\mathcal{M}}(f)-C_2.

This predicts that points with dense orbit have canonical height bounded below in terms of the moduli height of the dynamical system. The general conjecture remains open.
