Abstract

We prove the Dynamical Bogomolov Conjecture for endomorphisms Φ:P1×P1\lraP1×P1\Phi:\mathbb P^1\times \mathbb P^1\lra \mathbb P^1\times \mathbb P^1, where Φ(x,y):=(f(x),g(y))\Phi(x,y):=(f(x), g(y)) for any rational functions ff and gg defined over Qˉ\bar {\mathbb Q}. We use the equidistribution theorem for points of small height with respect to an algebraic dynamical system, combined with a theorem of Levin regarding symmetries of the Julia set. Using a specialization theorem of Yuan and Zhang, we can prove the Dynamical Manin–Mumford Conjecture for endomorhisms Φ=(f,g)\Phi=(f,g) of P1×P1\mathbb P^1\times \mathbb P^1, where ff and gg are rational functions defined over an arbitrary field of characteristic 0.
