Abstract

We give bounds for the number and the size of the primes pp such that a reduction modulo pp of a system of multivariate polynomials over the integers with a finite number TT of complex zeros, does not have exactly TT zeros over the algebraic closure of the field with pp elements. We apply these bounds to study the periodic points and the intersection of orbits of algebraic dynamical systems over finite fields. In particular, we establish some links between these problems and the uniform dynamical Mordell-Lang conjecture.
