Singularities of totally invariant hypersurfaces of endomorphisms

Abstract

Let $f:X\to X$ be a polarised endomorphism of a complex projective manifold, and let $D\subset X$ be a reduced totally invariant hypersurface. We prove that every irreducible component of the singular locus of $D$ has codimension one in $D$. In particular, if $D$ is normal, then it is smooth. As an application we prove the linearity of totally invariant divisors for endomorphisms of ${\mathbb{P}}^4$.
