Numerical action for endomorphisms

Abstract

Let $f: X\to X$ be a surjective endomorphism of a projective variety of dimension $d$. The aim of this paper is to study the action of $f$ on the numerical group of divisors. For exmaple, I proved that $f$ is cohomologically hyperbolic if and only if it is quasi-amplified; and it is amplified if and only if every subsystem of $(X,f)$ is cohomologically hyperbolic. For the proofs, I introduced a notion of spectrum in linear algebra for an open and saliant invariant cone. I also introduce a notion of generated (positive) cycles as an algebraic analogy of (positive) closed current.
