Let be a dominant rational self-map of a smooth projective variety defined over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$ . For each point $P\in X(\overline{\mathbb{Q}})$ whose forward $f$ -orbit is well defined, Silverman introduced the arithmetic degree $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}_{f}(P)$ , which measures the growth rate of the heights of the points $f^{n}(P)$ . Kawaguchi and Silverman conjectured that $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}_{f}(P)$ is well defined and that, as $P$ varies, the set of values obtained by $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}_{f}(P)$ is finite. Based on constructions by Bedford and Kim and by McMullen, we give a counterexample to this conjecture when $X=\mathbb{P}^{4}$ .
