Abstract: Motivated by work of Zhang from the early `90s, Medvedev and Scanlon formulated the following conjecture. Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$ and let $X$ be a quasiprojective variety defined over $K$ endowed with a dominant rational self-map $Phi$. Then there exists a point $alphainX(K)$ with Zariski dense orbit under $Phi$ if and only if $Phi$ preserves no nontrivial rational fibration, i.e., there exists no non-constant rational function $finK(X)$ such that $Ph{i}^{\ast }(f)=f$. The Medvedev-Scanlon conjecture holds when $K$ is uncountable. The case where $K$ is countable (e.g., $K=overlinemathbbQ$) is much more difficult; here the conjecture has only been proved in a small number of special cases. In this paper we show that the Medvedev-Scanlon conjecture holds for all varieties of positive Kodaira dimension, and explore the case of Kodaira dimension $0$. Our results are most complete in dimension $3$.
