Abstract: Let phi:XdashrightarrowX be a dominant rational map of a smooth variety and let xinX, all defined over . The dynamical degree delta(phi) measures the geometric complexity of the iterates of phi, and the arithmetic degree alpha(phi,x) measures the arithmetic complexity of the forward phi-orbit of x. It is known that alpha(phi,x)ledelta(phi), and it is conjectured that if the phi-orbit of x is Zariski dense in X, then alpha(phi,x)=delta(phi), i.e., arithmetic complexity equals geometric complexity. In this note we prove this conjecture in the case that X is an abelian variety, extending earlier work in which the conjecture was proven for isogenies.
