Density of orbits of endomorphisms of abelian varieties

Let $A$ be an abelian variety defined over $\bar{\mathbb{Q}}$, and let $φ$ be a dominant endomorphism of $A$ as an algebraic variety. We prove that either there exists a non-constant rational fibration preserved by $φ$, or there exists a point $x\in A(\bar{\mathbb{Q}})$ whose $φ$-orbit is Zariski dense in $A$. This provides a positive answer for abelian varieties of a question raised by Medvedev and the second author ("nvariant varieties for polynomial dynamical systems", Ann. of Math. (2) 179 (2014), no. 1, 81-177). We prove also a stronger statement of this result in which $φ$ is replaced by any commutative finitely generated monoid of dominant endomorphisms of $A$.
