A phenomenon of concentration of genus. (Q2484084)

In the spirit of the paper by \textit{E. Bedford}, \textit{M. Lyubich} and \textit{J. Smillie} [Invent. Math. 112, 77--125 (1993; Zbl 0792.58034)] which locally characterizes laminar currents, the author studies limits of currents of the form \([C_n]/A_n\), where \(C_n\) is an algebraic curve of \(\mathbb{P}^2\), \(A_n= \text{vol}(C_n)\), e.g., \(C_n= f^{-n}(L)\) where \(f\) is a holomorphic endomorphism of \(\mathbb{P}^2\) and \(L\) a projective line. By \textit{J. E. Fornaess} and \textit{N. Sibony} [Math. Phys. Sci. 439, 131--186 (1994; Zbl 0811.32019)] to an endomorphism \(f\) of degree \(\geq 2\) we define the Green current \(T\). This admits a continuous potential, hence one can define \(\mu:= T\wedge T\). The main result of the paper under review is Theorem 2: For \(f\) generic among endomorphisms of degree \(d\), we have \[ \limsup_{n\to\infty}\, {1\over n}\log\max_{L\in(\mathbb{R}^2)^*}\,\text{genus}(f^{-n}(L)\setminus U)\leq \log d, \] where \(U\) is a small neighborhood of the support of \(\mu\).
