Abstract

Let GG be a semiabelian variety defined over an algebraically closed field KK of characteristic 00. Let Φ ⁣:GG\Phi\colon G\dashrightarrow G be a dominant rational self-map. Assume that an iterate Φm ⁣:GG\Phi^m \colon G \to G is regular for some m1m \geqslant 1 and that there exists no non-constant homomorphism τ:GG0\tau: G\to G_0 of semiabelian varieties such that τΦmk=τ\tau\circ \Phi^{m k}=\tau for some k1k \geqslant 1. We show that under these assumptions Φ\Phi itself must be a regular. We also prove a variant of this assertion in prime characteristic and present examples showing that our results are sharp.
