Abstract

Let XX be a klt projective variety with numerically trivial canonical divisor. A surjective endomorphism f:XXf:X\to X is amplified (resp.~quasi-amplified) if fDDf^*D-D is ample (resp.~big) for some Cartier divisor DD. We show that after iteration and equivariant birational contractions, an quasi-amplified endomorphism will descend to an amplified endomorphism. As an application, when XX is Hyperk\"ahler, ff is quasi-amplified if and only if it is of positive entropy. In both cases, ff has Zariski dense periodic points. When XX is an abelian variety, we give and compare several cohomological and geometric criteria of amplified endomorphisms and endomorphisms with countable and Zariski dense periodic points (after an uncountable field extension).
