Large entropy measures for endomorphisms of \(\mathbb{CP}^k\) (Q1936807)

In this article, the author investigates the dynamics of holomorphisms of \(\mathbb{CP}^k\), denoted by \(f\). The key coding techniques in higher dimensions are developed to construct a class of ergodic measures containing the unique measure \(\mu\) of maximal entropy of \(f\). The proof of the main theorem is mainly divided into the following three steps. Firstly, a decreasing sequence of topological discs is built, based on spherical geometry, to prove a quantitative version of the inverse branch Briend-Duval's theorem for \(k \geq 2\). This establishes Theorem A. After that, Theorem B is obtained by estimating the size of the fibers of the limit map \(\omega\) in Theorem A and applying Abramov-Rohin's formula for the entropy of skew product. Finally, Theorem D is extended to the non-integrable case by performing backward graph transforms for \(f\), which implies Theorem C immediately. Consequently, the main theorem follows from Theorems A, B and C. The proof of the main theorem exhibits remarkable perspective in complex dynamics, especially for measurable dynamics. In particular, it also provides a new method for studying the Julia set, which is a basic and important object of complex dynamics. This can be seen from the fact that the size of the Julia set attracts many author's research interest including various dimensions such as Hausdorff dimension, box dimension and so on.
