Dynamical compactifications of $\mathbf{C}^2$

Abstract

We find good dynamical compactifications for arbitrary polynomial mappings of $\mathbf{C}^2$ and use them to show that the degree growth sequence satisfies a linear integral recursion formula. For maps of low topological degree we prove that the Green function is well behaved. For maps of maximum topological degree, we give normal forms.
