Abstract

Let XX be a compact K\"ahler manifold of dimension k4k\leq 4 and f:XXf:X\rightarrow X a pseudo-automorphism. If the first dynamical degree λ1(f)\lambda_1(f) is a Salem number, we show that either λ1(f)=λk1(f)\lambda_1(f)=\lambda_{k-1}(f) or λ1(f)2=λk2(f)\lambda_1(f)^2=\lambda_{k-2}(f). In particular, if \mboxdim(X)=3\mbox{dim}(X)=3 then λ1(f)=λ2(f)\lambda_1(f)=\lambda_2(f). We use this to show that if XX is a complex 3-torus and ff is an automorphism of XX with λ1(f)>1\lambda_1(f)>1, then ff has a non-trivial equivariant holomorphic fibration if and only if λ1(f)\lambda_1(f) is a Salem number. If XX is a complex 3-torus having an automorphism ff with λ1(f)=λ2(f)>1\lambda_1(f)=\lambda_2(f)>1 but is not a Salem number, then the Picard number of XX must be 0,3 or 9, and all these cases can be realized.
