Abstract (VO)
Résumé

We survey Vojta’s higher-dimensional generalizations of the $a b c$ conjecture and Szpiro’s conjecture as well as recent developments that apply them to various problems in arithmetic dynamics. In particular, the “ $a b c d$ conjecture” implies a dynamical analogue of a conjecture on the uniform boundedness of torsion points and a dynamical analogue of Lang’s conjecture on lower bounds for canonical heights.

Nous décrivons des généralisations en dimension supérieure dues à Vojta de la conjecture $a b c$ et de la conjecture de Szpiro, ainsi que des avancées récentes qui les utilisent dans des problèmes variés de dynamique arithmétique. En particulier, la « conjecture $a b c d$ » implique un analogue dynamique de la conjecture de torsion et un analogue dynamique de la conjecture de Lang sur les minorations de hauteurs canoniques.
