We give an alternative proof of a result of Cantat and Dupont, showing that any automorphism of a K3 surface with measure of maximal entropy in the Lebesgue class must be a Kummer example. Our method exploits the existence of Ricci-flat…
We equate dynamical properties (e.g., positive entropy, existence of a periodic curve) of complex projective surface automorphisms with properties of the pull-back actions of such automorphisms on line bundles. We use the properties of the…
We show that a holomorphic automorphism on a projective hyperk\"ahler manifold that has positive topological entropy and has volume measure as the measure of maximal entropy, is necessarily a Kummer example, partially extending the…
We show that $C^\infty$ surface diffeomorphisms with positive topological entropy have at most finitely many ergodic measures of maximal entropy in general, and at most one in the topologically transitive case. This answers a question of…
A complex compact surface which carries an automorphism of positive topological entropy has been proved by Cantat to be either a torus, a K3 surface, an Enriques surface or a rational surface. Automorphisms of rational surfaces are quite…
We determine the minimum positive entropy of complex Enriques surface automorphisms. This together with McMullen's work completes the determination of the minimum positive entropy of complex surface automorphisms in each class of…
We initiate the study of random iteration of automorphisms of real and complex projective surfaces, or more generally compact K{\"a}hler surfaces, focusing on the fundamental problem of classification of stationary measures. We show that,…
We classify invariant probability measures for non-elementary groups of automorphisms, on any compact K\"ahler surface X, under the assumption that the group contains a so-called "parabolic automorphism". We also prove that except in…
We prove that there is a projective K3 surface admitting a (fixed point) free automorphism of positive entropy and that no smooth compact K\"ahler surface other than projective K3 surfaces and their blow up admits such an automorphism.
A complex compact surface which carries an automorphism of positive topological entropy has been proved by Cantat to be a torus, a K3 surface, an Enriques surface or a non-minimal rational surface. We deal with results obtained in this last…
It is known that piecewise affine surface homeomorphisms always have measures of maximal entropy. This is easily seen to fail in the discontinuous case. Here we describe a piecewise affine, globally continuous surface map with no measure of…
We compare real and complex dynamics for automorphisms of rational surfaces that are obtained by lifting \chg{some} quadratic birational maps of the plane. In particular, we show how to exploit the existence of an invariant cubic curve to…
For two-dimensional complex tori, we characterize the set of all values of positive entropy that arise from automorphisms. For K3 surfaces, we give suffcient conditions for a positive value to be the entropy of some automorphism.
We derive a characterization of the complex projective K3 surfaces which have automorphisms of positive entropy in term of their N\'eron-Severi lattices. Along the way, we classify the projective K3 surfaces of zero entropy with infinite…
We study the dynamics of piecewise affine surface homeomorphisms from the point of view of their entropy. Under the assumption of positive topological entropy, we establish the existence of finitely many ergodic and invariant probability…
We show the existence of a rational surface automorphism of positive entropy with a given number of Siegel disks. Moreover, among automorphisms obtained from quadratic birational maps on the projective plane fixing irreducible cubic curves,…
We determine the geometric structure of a minimal projective threefold having two `independent and commutative' automorphisms of positive topological entropy, and generalize this result to higher-dimensional smooth minimal pairs (X, G). As…
We classify two-dimensional complex tori admitting automorphisms with positive entropy in terms of the entropies they exhibit. For each possible positive value of entropy, we describe the set of two-dimensional complex tori admitting…
Let X be a smooth projective surface over a number field, and $f: X \to X$ an automorphism of positive topological entropy. In this paper, we construct a height function on X that behaves well relative to f and deduce some arithmetic…
We show the uniqueness for the measure of maximal entropy for regular automorphisms of C^k.
