p-adic logarithms for polynomial dynamics

Number Theory 2008-06-24 v2 Dynamical Systems

Abstract

We prove a dynamical version of the Mordell-Lang conjecture for subvarieties of the affine space A^g over a p-adic field, endowed with polynomial actions on each coordinate of A^g. We use analytic methods similar to the ones employed by Skolem, Chabauty, and Coleman for studying diophantine equations.
