Abstract

We advance a new conjecture in the spirit of the dynamical Manin–Mumford conjecture. We show that our conjecture holds for all polarisable endomorphisms of abelian varieties and for all polarisable endomorphisms of $(\mathbb{P}^{1})^{N}$. Furthermore, we show various examples which highlight the restrictions one would need to consider in formulating any general conclusion in the dynamical Manin–Mumford conjecture.
