Abstract

Recently, the authors have proved the finiteness of common zeros of two iterated rational maps under some compositional independence assumptions. In this article, we advance towards a question of Hsia and Tucker on a Zariski non-density of common zeros of iterated morphisms on a variety. More precisely, we provide an affirmative answer in the case of H\'{e}non type maps on A2\mathbb{A}^2, endomorphisms on (P1)n(\mathbb{P}^1)^n, and polynomial skew products on A2\mathbb{A}^2 defined over Q\overline{\mathbb{Q}}. As a by-product, we prove a Tits' alternative analogy for semigroups generated by two regular polynomial skew products.
