Abstract

We show that any birational selfmap of a complex projective surface that has dynamical degree greater than one and is defined over a number field automatically satisfies the Bedford–Diller energy condition after a suitable birational conjugacy. As a consequence, the complex dynamics of the map is well behaved. We also show that there is a well-defined canonical height function.
