Abstract

We consider hypersurfaces in \({\mathbb {P}}_1^n\) that contain a generic sequence of small dynamical height with respect to a split map and project onto \(n-1\) coordinates. We show that these hypersurfaces satisfy strong coincidence relations between their points with zero height coordinates. More precisely, it holds that in a Zariski-open dense subset of such a hypersurface \(n-1\) coordinates have height zero if and only if all coordinates have height zero. This is a key step in the resolution of the dynamical Bogomolov conjecture for split maps.
