Abstract

Let (K,)(K,|\cdot|) be a complete discretely valued field and f:B1(K,1)B1(K,1)f:{\mathbb B}_1(K,1) \to {\mathbb B}_1(K,1) a nonconstant analytic map from the unit back to itself. We assume that 0 is an attracting fixed point of ff. Let aKa \in K with limnfn(a)=0\lim_{n \to \infty} f^n(a) = 0 and consider the orbit Of(a):={fn(a):nN}{\mathcal O}_f(a) := \{f^n(a) : n \in {\mathbb N} \}. We show that if 0 is a \emph{superattracting} fixed point, then every irreducible analytic subvariety of Bn(K,1){\mathbb B}_n(K,1) meeting Of(a)n{\mathcal O}_f(a)^n in an analytically Zariski dense set is defined by equations of the form xi=bx_i = b and xj=f(xk)x_j = f^\ell(x_k). When 0 is an attracting, non-superattracting point, we show that all analytic relations come from algebraic tori.
