Abstract

In this paper, we prove the converse of the dynamical Mordell--Lang conjecture in positive characteristic: For every subset SN0S \subseteq \mathbb{N}_0 which is a union of finitely many arithmetic progressions along with finitely many pp-sets of the form {j=1mcjpkjnj:njN0}\left \{ \sum_{j=1}^{m} c_j p^{k_jn_j} : n_j \in \mathbb{N}_0 \right \} (cjQc_j \in \mathbb{Q}, kjN0k_j \in \mathbb{N}_0), there exist a split torus X=GmkX = \mathbb{G}_m^k defined over K=Fp(t)K=\overline{\mathbb{F}_p}(t), an endomorphism Φ\Phi of XX, αX(K)\alpha \in X(K) and a closed subvariety VXV \subseteq X such that {nN0:Φn(α)V(K)}=S\left \{ n \in \mathbb{N}_0 : \Phi^n(\alpha) \in V(K) \right \} = S.
