Guedj, Vincent Dynamics of polynomial mappings of \(\mathbb{C}^2\). (English) Zbl 1198.32007 Am. J. Math. 124, No. 1, 75-106 (2002). Summary: We study the dynamics of polynomial self mappings \(f\) of \({\mathbb C} ^2\). We construct, for a large class of mappings, an invariant measure \(\mu\) which is mixing and of maximal entropy \(h_{\mu}(f)=\max (\log d_t(f), \log\lambda _1(f))\), where \(d_t(f)\) is the topological degree of \(f\) and \(\lambda _1(f)\) its first dynamical degree. To achieve this, we look at the meromorphic extensions of \(f\) to smooth minimal compactifications of \({\mathbb C} ^2\). When a good compactification is found, we construct an \(f^*\)-invariant Green current \(T\) which contains many dynamical informations. When \(\delta := d_t(f)/\lambda _1(f)>1\), the measure \(\mu\) is obtained as \(\mu = dd^c(\upsilon T)\), where \(\upsilon\) is a partial Green function defined on the support of \(T\). When \(\delta <1, \mu = T \wedge T^-\) where \(T^-\) is a globally defined \(f_*\)-invariant current.
