Filtrations, hyperbolicity, and dimension for polynomial automorphisms of \(\mathbb C^n\) (Q1432734)

Let \(f\) be a polynomial automorphism of \(\mathbb{C}^n\), \(n\geq 2\). After recalling the notion of regular polynomial automorphisms, the authors introduce the notion of hyperbolicity for \(f\) and then study the orbit structures of the dynamical system \(\{f^k\}\). In fact, the authors show that if \(f\) is a hyperbolic regular polynomial automorphism of \(\mathbb{C}^n\), for a point \(p\in\mathbb{C}^n\), there are three exclusive cases (i)\(\sim\)(iii), i.e., (i) there is a \(q\) in the Julia set for \(f\) such that \(| f^k(p)- f^k(q)|\to 0\), \((k\to \infty)\), (ii) there is an attracting periodic point \(\alpha\) of \(f\) such that \(| f^k(p)- f^k(\alpha)|\to 0\), \((k\to\infty)\) and (iii) \(\{f^k(p);\,k\in\mathbb{N}\}\) converges to \(\infty\) as \(k\to\infty\). The authors also study the Hausdorff and box dimensions of the Julia sets of \(f\).
