contents In this paper, we explore a variety of finiteness questions for preperiodic points of morphisms. We begin by treating a group action analog of the Burnside problem for torsion groups using the p-adic arc method. We then prove some results connecting commonality of preperiodic points for elements of an automorphism group with structural properties of the group; these results are related to well-known results of Tits and Borel. We finish by proving some Northcott-type results for finite morphisms.
