Abstract:
Let f1,…,fn∈ˉQ[x] be polynomials of degree d>1 such that no fi is conjugate to xd or ±Cd(x) where Cd(x) is the Chebyshev polynomial of degree d. Let φ: An→An be given by φ(x1,…,xn)=(f1(x1),…,fn(xn)). We prove a dynamical version of the Pink-Zilber conjecture for subvarieties V of An with respect to the dynamical system (An,φ) when dim(V)∈{1,n−1,n−2}. Our work relies on the Medvedev-Scanlon description of φ-periodic subvarieties and various results on the arithmetic dynamics of (An,φ). This is joint work with Dragos Ghioca.
