Green's functions for irregular quadratic polynomial automorphisms of \({\mathbb{C}}^3\) (Q1591613)

The authors study the dynamics of polynomial automorphisms of degree 2 on \(\mathbb{C}^3\), which are not regular in the sense of Sibony. The polynomial automorphisms of degree 2 have been classified up to affine conjugacy into seven classes by \textit{J. E. Fornæss} and \textit{He Wu} [Publ. Mat., Barc. 42, 195-210 (1998; Zbl 0923.58006)]. Of these seven classes, two consist of affine automorphisms and elementary automorphisms, which have simple dynamics. It turns out that the remaining five classes have rich dynamics, exhibiting new interesting phenomena. In this paper, the authors consider these five classes of polynomial automorphisms. The main goal is to introduce the Green's functions, to understand their properties, and to identify the new dynamical phenomena that occur in dimension 3.
