Abstract: Dynamical degrees and spectra can serve to distinguish birational automorphism groups of varieties in quantitative, as opposed to only qualitative, ways. We introduce and discuss some properties of those degrees and the Cremona degrees, which facilitate computing or deriving inequalities for them in concrete cases: (generalized) lower semi-continuity, sub-multiplicativity, and an analogue of Picard-Manin/Zariski-Riemann spaces for higher codimension cycles. We also specialize to cubic fourfolds and show that under certain genericity assumptions the first and second dynamical degrees of a composition of reflections in points on the cubic coincide.
