DeMarco–Mavraki dynamical unlikely-intersection conjecture

Let SS be a smooth irreducible quasi-projective variety over C\mathbb{C}, let Φ:S×PNS×PN\Phi:S\times\mathbb{P}^N\to S\times\mathbb{P}^N be an algebraic family of endomorphisms of degree dd, and let XS×PN\mathcal{X}\subseteq S\times\mathbb{P}^N be a closed irreducible subvariety flat over SS. Define Φ\Phi-special subvarieties using a polarizable endomorphism of a subvariety of the generic fiber, and let rΦ,Xr_{\Phi,\mathcal{X}} be the minimum relative dimension of a Φ\Phi-special subvariety containing X\mathcal{X}. Let T^Φ\widehat{T}_{\Phi} be the dynamical Green (1,1)(1,1)-current associated to Φ\Phi. DeMarco–Mavraki's conjecture. The following are equivalent:

  1. X\mathcal{X} contains a Zariski dense set of Φ\Phi-preperiodic points.
T^ΦrΦ,X[X]0.\widehat{T}_{\Phi}^{\wedge r_{\Phi,\mathcal{X}}}\wedge[\mathcal{X}]\neq 0.

This is presented as a dynamical generalization of the Relative Manin–Mumford conjecture. The supplied text does not establish the conjecture itself; it only proves a special case, so its general status remains open.
