Abstract: For classical dynamical systems, the polynomial entropy serves as a refined invariant of the topological entropy. In the setting of categorical dynamical systems, that is, triangulated categories endowed with an endofunctor, we develop the theory of categorical polynomial entropy, refining the categorical entropy defined by Dimitrov-Haiden-Katzarkov-Kontsevich. We justify this notion by showing that for an automorphism of a smooth projective variety, the categorical polynomial entropy of the pullback functor on the derived category coincides with the polynomial growth rate of the induced action on cohomology. We also establish in general a Yomdin-type lower bound for the categorical polynomial entropy of an endofunctor in terms of the induced endomorphism on the numerical Grothendieck group of the category. As examples, we compute the categorical polynomial entropy for some standard functors like shifts, Serre functors, tensoring line bundles, automorphisms, spherical twists, P-twists, and so on, illustrating clearly how categorical polynomial entropy refines the study of categorical entropy and enables us to study the phenomenon of categorical trichotomy. A parallel theory of polynomial mass growth rate is developed in the presence of Bridgeland stability conditions.
