Abstract

We study the dynamics of the map $f:\mathbb {A}^N\to \mathbb {A}^N$ defined by

$$ \begin{align*} f(\mathbf{X})=A\mathbf{X}^d+\mathbf{b}, \end{align*} $$

for $A\in \operatorname {SL}_N$, $\mathbf {b}\in \mathbb {A}^N$, and $d\geq 2$, a class which specializes to the unicritical polynomials when $N=1$. In the case $k=\mathbb {C}$ we obtain lower bounds on the sum of Lyapunov exponents of f, and a statement which generalizes the compactness of the Mandelbrot set. Over $\overline {\mathbb {Q}}$ we obtain estimates on the critical height of f, and over algebraically closed fields we obtain some rigidity results for post-critically finite morphisms of this form.
