As a particular case of higher-dimensional complex dynamical systems, dynamics of polynomial mappings of \(\mathbb{C}^N\) into itself is considered in this paper. A general form of these mappings is: \[ f(x)=f_0(z)+f_1(z)+\dots+f_k(z) \] where \(k\geq 2\), and \(f_j\) is the homogeneous term of degree \(j\) (\(j=0,1,\dots,k\)) and \(f_k\) is nondegenerate, i.e. \(f_k(z)=0\) iff \(z=0\). Results on the number of fixed points and the existence of periodic points for these mappings are proved. That is, \(f\) has exactly \(k^N\) fixed points, and is a \(k^N\) to 1 mapping; and for all sufficiently large primes \(p\), \(f\) has the periodic point of period \(p\).
