Géométrie et dynamique sur les surfaces algébriques réelles [Geometry and dynamics on real algebraic surfaces]

This thesis deals with automorphisms of real algebraic surfaces, which are polynomial transformations with a polynomial inverse. The main concern is whether their restriction to the real locus reflects all the richness of the complex dynamics. This question is declined in two directions: the topological entropy and the Fatou set. For the first one, we introduce a purely geometric quantity depending only on the surface, and we call it concordance. Then we show that the ratio of real and complex entropies is linked to this quantity. The concordance is explicitely computed for many examples of surfaces, especially abelian surfaces which are broadly studied, as well as some K3 surfaces. In the second part, we are interested in the Fatou set, which corresponds to complex points for which the dynamics is simple. Thanks to previous results of Dinh and Sibony about closed positive currents, we prove that this set is hyperbolic in the sense of Kobayashi, after possibly deleting some curves which are fixed by (an iterate of) our transformation. From this property we deduce that, except for some exceptional cases in which the topology of the real locus is simple and the dynamics well understood, this real locus cannot be entirely contained in the Fatou set. Thus the complexity of the dynamics is observable on real points in most cases.

Real versus Complex Volumes on Real Algebraic Surfaces

Let X be a real algebraic surface. The comparison between the volume of real and complex loci of ample divisors D brings us to define the concordance, which is a number between 0 and 1. This number equals 1 when the Picard number is 1, and for some surfaces with a "quite simple" nef cone, e.g. Del Pezzo surfaces. For abelian surfaces, it is 1/2 or 1, depending on the existence or not of positive entropy automorphisms on X. In the general case, the existence of such an automorphism gives an upper bound for the concordance, namely the ratio of entropies in real and complex loci of X. Moreover the concordance is equal to this ratio when the Picard number is 2. An interesting consequence of the inequality is the non-density of the automorphisms in the group of diffeomorphisms of the real surface X(R), as soon as the concordance is positive. Finally we show, thanks to this upper bound, that there exist K3 surfaces with arbitrary small concordance, considering a deformation of a singular surface of tridegree (2,2,2) in the product of three projective lines.
