Relative degree-stabilization conjecture for families of endomorphisms

Let SS be a smooth irreducible quasi-projective variety over C\mathbb C, let KK be a positive integer, and let Φ:S×PKS×PK\Phi:S\times\mathbb P^K\to S\times\mathbb P^K be a family given by Φ(s,p)=(s,Fs(p))\Phi(s,p)=(s,F_s(p)), where each FsF_s has degree greater than 11. Let XS×PK\mathcal X\subseteq S\times\mathbb P^K be irreducible, dominant and flat over SS, with Xs\mathcal X_s preperiodic under FsF_s for a Zariski-dense set of sSs\in S. Relative Dynamical Manin–Mumford conjecture. For every positive integer NN,

T^Φ×NrΦ×N,XN[XN]0.\hat{T}^{\,r_{\Phi^{\times N},\mathcal X^N}}_{\Phi^{\times N}}\wedge[\mathcal X^N]\neq0.

This is a conjectural extension of the paper's special case from regular polynomial endomorphisms of P2\mathbb P^2 to arbitrary projective dimension and families; it remains open in most cases.
