Abstract: Let $f:\mathbb{P}^N\to\mathbb{P}^N$ be a postcritically finite endomorphism of degree at least two. Combining Yamanoi's hyperbolicity results with the dynamical property of $f$, we prove that the complement of its postcritical divisor is taut unless $f$ is a monomial power map or admits a nontrivial equivariant rational fibration with a polarized divisorially postcritically finite base map. We establish analogous alternatives for polarized PCF endomorphisms of rationally connected projective manifolds and, for Kobayashi hyperbolicity, on normal rationally connected projective varieties. In dimension two, the non-taut case can be described, up to iteration and rational semiconjugacy, by monomial power maps and skew products with monomial fiber maps.
