The dynamical Manin-Mumford conjecture and the dynamical Bogomolov conjecture for split rational maps (Q2416381)

Summary: We prove the Dynamical Bogomolov Conjecture for endomorphisms \(\Phi:\mathbb P^1\times \mathbb P^1 \rightarrow \mathbb P^1\times \mathbb P^1\), where \(\Phi(x,y):=(f(x), g(y))\) for any rational functions \(f\) and \(g\) defined over \(\bar {\mathbb Q}\). We use the equidistribution theorem for points of small height with respect to an algebraic dynamical system, combined with a theorem of Levin regarding symmetries of the Julia set. Using a specialization theorem of \textit{X. Yuan} and \textit{S. Zhang} [Small points and Berkovich metrics; Preprint], we can prove the Dynamical Manin-Mumford Conjecture for endomorhisms \(\Phi=(f,g)\) of \(\mathbb P^1\times \mathbb P^1\), where \(f\) and \(g\) are rational functions defined over an arbitrary field of characteristic 0.
