Abstract

Assuming Vojta's conjecture, we give a sufficient condition for the limit limnhY(fn(x))hH(fn(x)) \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{h_{Y}(f^{n}(x))}{h_{H}(f^{n}(x))} is equal to zero, where f ⁣:XXf \colon X \longrightarrow X is a surjective self-morphism on a smooth projective variety XX, hHh_{H} is an ample height function on XX, and hYh_{Y} is a global height function associated with a closed subscheme YXY \subset X of codimension at least two. Based on this, we propose a conjecture on a sufficient condition for the limit to be zero. We point out that our conjecture implies Dynamical Mordell-Lang conjecture for endomorphisms on PQ2\mathbb{P}^{2}_{\overline{\mathbb{Q}}}. We also discuss applications of Vojta's conjecture with truncated counting function to the problem of the existence of primitive prime divisors of coordinates of orbits of ff
