Value Distribution for Sequences of Rational Mappings and Complex Dynamics

Alexander Russakovskii and Bernard Shiffman

\newcommand{\PP}{{\mathbb P}} We obtain results on the asymptotic equidistribution of the pre-images of linear subspaces for sequences of rational mappings between projective spaces. As an application to complex dynamics, we consider the iterates $P_k$ of a rational mapping $P$ of $\PP^n$. We show, assuming a condition on the topological degree $\lambda$ of $P$, that there is a probability measure $\mu$ on $\PP^n$ such that the discrete measures $\lambda^{-k}P_k^*\delta_w$ converge to $\mu$ for all $w\in\PP^n$ outside a pluripolar set.
