A rational map with infinitely many points of distinct arithmetic degrees

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let fcolonXdashrightarrowX be a dominant rational self-map of a smooth projective variety defined over overlinemathbbQ. For each point PinX(overlinemathbbQ) whose forward f-orbit is well-defined, Silverman introduced the arithmetic degree alphaf(P), which measures the growth rate of the heights of the points fn(P). Kawaguchi and Silverman conjectured that alphaf(P) is well-defined and that, as P varies, the set of values obtained by alphaf(P) is finite. Based on constructions of Bedford--Kim and McMullen, we give a counterexample to this conjecture when X=mathbbP4.
