Abstract

In this paper, we study the presence of perfect powers in orbits of polynomials, or of semigroups generated by a finite family of polynomials, defined over a number field. In particular, we correct and generalize a result of Ahmadi et al. (2012), showing that multiplicative shifts of perfect powers in orbits can be detected by a finite algorithm. We also give a finiteness result on elements in orbits satisfying certain multiplicative relations.
