Abstract

We show that periodic points of period nn of a complex rational map of degree dd equidistribute towards the equilibrium measure μf\mu_f of the rational map with a rate of convergence of (ndn)1/2(nd^{-n})^{1/2} for C1\mathscr{C}^1-observables. This is a consequence of a quantitative equidistribution of Galois invariant finite subsets of preperiodic points \`a la Favre and Rivera-Letelier. Our proof relies on the H\"older regularity of the quasi-psh Green function of a rational map, an estimate of Baker concerning Hsia kernel, as well as on the product formula and its generalization by Moriwaki for finitely generated fields over Q\mathbb{Q}.
