Abstract
Let be a dominant rational self-map of a smooth projective variety defined over . For each point whose forward -orbit is well-defined, Silverman introduced the arithmetic degree , which measures the growth rate of the heights of the points . Kawaguchi and Silverman conjectured that is well-defined and that, as varies, the set of values obtained by is finite. Based on constructions of Bedford--Kim and McMullen, we give a counterexample to this conjecture when .
