Arithmetic degrees and dynamical degrees of endomorphisms on surfaces

Yohsuke Matsuzawa, Kaoru Sano and Takahiro Shibata

Vol. 12 (2018), No. 7, 1635–1657
Abstract

For a dominant rational self-map on a smooth projective variety defined over a number field, Kawaguchi and Silverman conjectured that the (first) dynamical degree is equal to the arithmetic degree at a rational point whose forward orbit is well-defined and Zariski dense. We prove this conjecture for surjective endomorphisms on smooth projective surfaces. For surjective endomorphisms on any smooth projective varieties, we show the existence of rational points whose arithmetic degrees are equal to the dynamical degree. Moreover, if the map is an automorphism, there exists a Zariski dense set of such points with pairwise disjoint orbits.
