We study the dynamics near infinity of polynomial mappings f in C. We assume that f has indeterminacy points and is non constant on the line at infinity L. If L is f-attracting, we decompose the Green current along itineraries defined by the indeterminacy points and their preimages. The symbolic dynamics that arises is a subshift on an infinite alphabet.

Let $f$ be a dominant rational map of ${\mathbb{P}}^k$ such that there exists $s\<k$ with ${\lambda }_s\left(f\right)\>{\lambda }_l\left(f\right)$ for all $l$. Under mild hypotheses, we show that, for $A$ outside a pluripolar set of $\mathrm{Aut}\left({\mathbb{P}}^k\right)$, the map $f\circ A$ admits a hyperbolic measure of maximal entropy $log{\lambda }_s\left(f\right)$ with explicit bounds on the Lyapunov exponents. In particular, the result is true for polynomial maps hence for the homogeneous extension of $f$ to ${\mathbb{P}}^{k+1}$. This provides many examples where non uniform hyperbolic dynamics is established. One of the key tools is to approximate the...
