Abstract: Let $mathbbK$ be an algebraically closed field, $X$ a smooth projective variety over $mathbbK$ and $f:XightarrowX$ a dominant regular morphism. Let $N^i(X)$ be the group of algebraic cycles modulo numerical equivalence. Let $chi(f)$ be the spectral radius of the pullback $f^{*}:H^{*}(X,mathbb{Q}_l)ightarrow{H}^{*}(X,mathbb{Q}_l)$ on $l$-adic cohomology groups, and $lambda(f)$ the spectral radius of the pullback $f^{*}:N^{*}(X)ightarrow{N}^{*}(X)$. We prove in this paper, by using consequences of Deligne's proof of Weil's Riemann hypothesis, that $chi(f)=lambda(f)$. This answers affirmatively a question posed by Esnault and Srinivas. Consequently, the algebraic entropy $logchi(f)$ of an endomorphism is both a birational invariant and 'etale invariant. More general results are proven if either $mathbbK=overlinemathbb{F}_p$ or the Fundamental Conjecture D (numerical equivalence vs homological equivalence) holds. Among other results in the paper, we show that if some properties of dynamical degrees, known in the case $mathbbK=mathbbC$, hold in positive characteristics, then simple proofs of Weil's Riemann hypothesis follow.
