Abstract

Let KK be a number field, XX a smooth projective variety over KK and f:XXf: X \to X a polarized endomorphism of degree d2d \geq 2. We prove an exponential lower bound on [K(\Pern):K][K(\Per_n):K], where \Pern\Per_n is the set of nn-periodic points, extending results of [Yap24] to higher dimensions. We also prove a quantitative rate of equidistribution for \Pern\Per_n to the equilibrium measure.
