Let f be a dominant rational map of P^k such that there exists s <k, with lambda_s(f)>lambda_l(f) for all l. Under mild hypotheses, we show that, for A outside a pluripolar set of the group of automorphisms of P^k, the map f o A admits a…

We study the dynamics of a bimeromorphic selfmap of a compact complex K\"ahler surface $X$. Under a natural geometric hypothesis, we construct an invariant probability measure, which is mixing, hyperbolic and of maximal entropy. The proof…

We continue our study of the dynamics of meromorphic mappings with small topological degree on a compact K\"ahler surface $X$. Under general hypotheses we are able to construct a canonical invariant measure which is mixing, does not charge…

Let $f : X\to X$ be a dominating meromorphic map on a compact K\"ahler manifold $X$ of dimension $k$. We extend the notion of topological entropy $h^l_{\mathrm{top}}(f)$ for the action of $f$ on (local) analytic sets of dimension $0\leq l…

We continue our study of the dynamics of mappings with small topological degree on (projective) complex surfaces. Previously, under mild hypotheses, we have constructed an ergodic ``equilibrium'' measure for each such mapping. Here we study…

We obtain the following dichotomy for accessible partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms of 3-dimensional manifolds having compact center leaves: either there is a unique entropy maximizing measure, this measure has the Bernoulli property and…

Let f be a dominating meromorphic self-map of a compact Kahler manifold. We give an inequality for the Lyapounov exponents of some ergodic measures of f using the metric entropy and the dynamical degrees of f. We deduce the hyperbolicity of…

We develop the study of some spaces of currents of bidegree (p,p). As an application we construct the equilibrium measure for a large class of birational maps of P^k as intersection of Green currents. We show that these currents are…

For a class of piecewise hyperbolic maps in two dimensions, we propose a combinatorial definition of topological entropy by counting the maximal, open, connected components of the phase space on which iterates of the map are smooth. We…

The emphasis of this course is on pluripotential methods in complex dynamics in higher dimension. They are based on the compactness properties of plurisubharmonic functions and on the theory of positive closed currents. Applications of…

Let $\Lambda$ be a complex manifold and let $(f_\lambda)_{\lambda\in \Lambda}$ be a holomorphic family of rational maps of degree $d\geq 2$ of $\mathbb{P}^1$. We define a natural notion of entropy of bifurcation, mimicking the classical…

Let f be a dominating meromorphic self-map of large topological degree on a compact Kaehler manifold. We give a new construction of the equilibrium measure of f and prove that it is exponentially mixing. Then, we deduce the central limit…

For $C^{1+}$ maps, possibly non-invertible and with singularities, we prove that each homoclinic class of an ergodic adapted hyperbolic measure carries at most one adapted hyperbolic measure of maximal entropy. We then apply this to study…

We consider the dynamics of a meromorphic map on a compact kahler surface whose topological degree is smaller than its first dynamical degree. The latter quantity is the exponential rate at which its iterates expand the cohomology class of…

We study the regularity of the Green currents and of the equilibrium measure associated to a horizontal-like map in C^k, under a natural assumption on the dynamical degrees. We estimate the speed of convergence towards the Green currents,…

In this paper we establish a dichotomy for the ergodic measures of maximal entropy for partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms with one-dimensional compact center leaves which are virtually skew products over (transitive) Anosov homeomorphism.…

Let $f:X \longrightarrow X $ be a Cohomological Hyperbolic Mapping of a complex compact connected K\"ahler manifold with $ dim_{\mathbb{C}}(X)=k \ge 1$. We want to study the dynamics of such mapping from a probabilistic point of view, that…

We show that any dominant meromorphic self-map f of a compact Kaehler manifold X is an Artin-Mazur map. More precisely, if P_n(f) is the number of its isolated periodic points of period n (counted with multiplicity), then P_n(f) grows at…

Let f be a holomorphic automorphism of positive entropy on a compact Kaehler surface. We show that the equilibrium measure of f is exponentially mixing. The proof uses some recent development on the pluripotential theory. The result also…

Let $X$ be a compact complex manifold of dimension $k$ and $f:X \longrightarrow X$ be a dominating meromorphic map. We generalize the notion of topological entropy, by defining a quantity $h_{(m,l)}^{top}(f)$ which measures the action of…
