Abstract We formulate a general question regarding the size of the iterated Galois groups associated with an algebraic dynamical system and then we discuss some special cases of our question. Our main result answers this question for certain split polynomial maps whose coordinates are unicritical polynomials.

Given a set S = {x + c1, . . . , x + cs} with ci ∈ Z and an infinite sequence γ of elements of S, one can associate an arboreal representation to γ, analogous to the case of iterating a single

### Heights and arithmetic dynamics over finitely generated fields.

We develop a theory of vector-valued heights and intersections defined relative to finitely generated extensions K/k. These generalize both number field and geometric heights. When k is Q or F_p, or
