The smooth birational model conjecture for rational maps and entropy

About 20 years old · traced to

Let YY be a smooth projective variety and f:Y⇢Yf:Y\dashrightarrow Y be a rational dominating map. A smooth birational model is a smooth projective variety Y^\hat Y together with a birational map ι:Y⇢Y^\iota:Y\dashrightarrow\hat Y such that the lifting f^:Y^⇢Y^\hat f:\hat Y\dashrightarrow\hat Y is defined. Smooth birational model conjecture. There exists a smooth projective variety Y^\hat Y and a birational map ι:Y⇢Y^\iota:Y\dashrightarrow\hat Y such that the lifting f^:Y^⇢Y^\hat f:\hat Y\dashrightarrow\hat Y satisfies the entropy equality stated in the source. This conjecture seeks a smooth birational model on which the entropy of the rational map is related by the cited equality to the corresponding volume-growth quantity; the supplied excerpt does not include that equality or evidence resolving the conjecture.
