Dynamics of rational maps in several variables
by Nessim SIBONY
Spring 2000
The purpose of the lectures is to give an introduction to the
dynamics of rational maps in CPk.
We will discuss the following aspects.
- Polynomial automorphisms of CPk. Fatou
Bieberbach domains, Green-currents, rigidity theorem and it's
consequences.
- Fatou Julia theory for endomorphisms of CPk.
After introducing the main tools, Green-currents, hierarchy of Julia sets,
measure of maximal entropy, we will consider some non trivial examples.
- If time permits we will discuss some analogies between the
theory of holomoprhic foliations in CPk
and the Fatou-Julia Theory.
