Abstract:
Given a birational transformation $f$ of $\mathbb{P}^2$, one can generally (and in all known examples) construct a dynamically natural measure $\mu_f$ on some blow-up of $\mathbb{P}^2$. The construction comes from various results by Bedford, Diller, Dujardin, Favre, and Guedj. However, Buff showed recently that hypotheses on $f$ which guarantee nice properties of $\mu_f$ can fail to hold. We will explore this situation by looking at a concrete example due to Favre of a family of birational transformations. We will then discuss new results reflecting current progress towards showing that nice properties of $\mu_f$ are always guaranteed when $f$ is defined over a number field. This work is ongoing and joint with Mattias Jonsson.Date: Tuesday, January 20, 2015
