Abstract

Let φ:PFnPFn\varphi: \mathbb{P}^{n}_{F} \to \mathbb{P}^{n}_{F} where FF is a complete valued field. If xx is a fixed point, such that the action of φ\varphi on TxT_{x} has eigenvalues λ1,,λn\lambda_{1}, \ldots, \lambda_{n}, with λ1,,λr\lambda_{1}, \ldots, \lambda_{r} not contained in the multiplicative group generated by λr+1,,λn\lambda_{r+1}, \ldots, \lambda_{n}, then φ\varphi has a codimension-rr fixed formal subvariety. Under mild assumptions, this subvariety is analytic. We use this to prove two results. First, we generalize results of Rivera-Letelier on isolated periodic points to higher dimension: if FF is pp-adic, and each λi1|\lambda_{i}| \leq 1, then there is an analytic neighborhood of xx without any other periodic points. And second, we prove Zhang's conjecture that there exists a Q\overline{\mathbb{Q}}-point with Zariski-dense forward orbit in two cases, extending results of Amerik, Bogomolov, and Rovinsky.
