Abstract: Let $f_1,\mathrm{...},f_{g}inmathbbC(z)$ be rational functions, let $Phi=(f_1,\mathrm{...},f_g)$ denote their coordinatewise action on $({mathbbP}^1{)}^g$, let $Vsubset({mathbbP}^1{)}^g$ be a proper subvariety, and let $P=(x_1,\mathrm{...},x_g)in({mathbbP}^1{)}^g(mathbbC)$ be a nonpreperiodic point for $Phi$. We show that if $V$ does not contain any periodic subvarieties of positive dimension, then the set of $n$ such that $Ph{i}^n(P)inV(mathbbC)$ must be very sparse. In particular, for any $k$ and any sufficiently large $N$, the number of $nleqN$ such that $Ph{i}^n(P)inV(mathbbC)$ is less than $lo{g}^{k}N$, where $lo{g}^k$ denotes the $k$-th iterate of the $log$ function. This can be interpreted as an analog of the gap principle of Davenport-Roth and Mumford.
