Abstract: This paper concerns the dynamics of polynomial automorphisms of . One can associate to such an automorphism two currents mupm and the equilibrium measure mu=mu+wedgemu. In this paper we study some geometric and dynamical properties of these objects. First, we characterize mu as the unique measure of maximal entropy. Then we show that the measure mu has a local product structure and that the currents mupm have a laminar structure. This allows us to deduce information about periodic points and heteroclinic intersections. For example, we prove that the support of mu coincides with the closure of the set of saddle points. The methods used combine the pluripotential theory with the theory of non-uniformly hyperbolic dynamical systems.
