Abstract

Let KK be a number field and let f:(P1)n(P1)nf : (\mathbb{P}^1)^n \to (\mathbb{P}^1)^n be a dominant endomorphism defined over KK. We show that if VV is an ff-invariant subvariety (that is, f(V)=Vf(V)=V) then there is a positive integer s0s_0 such that (fs1(V)fs(V))(K)= (f^{-s-1}(V)\setminus f^{-s}(V))(K) = \emptyset for every integer ss0s \geq s_0, answering the Preimages Question of Matsuzawa, Meng, Shibata, and Zhang in the case of (P1)n(\mathbb{P}^1)^n.
