Kawaguchi–Silverman conjecture for surjective endomorphisms
Let be a surjective endomorphism of a projective variety defined over . For , write
Assume that is Zariski dense in .
Kawaguchi–Silverman conjecture. The arithmetic degree at equals the dynamical degree of :
This conjecture compares arithmetic complexity along a forward orbit with the geometric complexity of the dynamical system. It is stated here for surjective endomorphisms, while the original formulation concerns dominant self-maps.
