Entropy of holomorphic and rational maps: a survey

Dynamical Systems 2016-09-07 v3 Algebraic Geometry

Abstract

We give a brief survey on the entropy of holomorphic self maps ff of compact K\"ahler manifolds, and rational dominating self maps ff of smooth projective varieties. We emphasize the connection between the entropy and the spectral radii of the induced action of ff on the homology of the compact manifold. The main conjecture for the rational maps states that modulo birational isomorphism all various notions of entropy and the spectral radii are equal.
