Abstract
Let be a variety defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic , let , let be a dominant rational self-map, and let be a linear transformation defined over , i.e., for a Zariski open dense subset , we have that for , the specialization is an -by- matrix with entries in . We let be the rational endomorphism given by . We prove that if the determinant of is nonzero and if there exists such that its orbit is Zariski dense in , then either there exists a point such that its orbit is Zariski dense in or there exists a nonconstant rational function such that . Our result provides additional evidence to a conjecture of Medvedev and Scanlon.
