Stabilization of monomial maps in higher codimension

Abstract

A monomial self-map $f$ on a complex toric variety is said to be $k$-stable if the action induced on the $2k$-cohomology is compatible with iteration. We show that under suitable conditions on the eigenvalues of the matrix of exponents of $f$, we can find a toric model with at worst quotient singularities where $f$ is $k$-stable. If $f$ is replaced by an iterate one can find a $k$-stable model as soon as the dynamical degrees ${\lambda }_k$ of $f$ satisfy ${\lambda }_k^2>{\lambda }_{k-1}{\lambda }_{k+1}$. On the other hand, we give examples of monomial maps $f$, where this condition is not satisfied and where the degree sequences ${°}_k(f^n)$ do not satisfy any linear recurrence. It follows that such an $f$ is not $k$-stable on any toric model with at worst quotient singularities.
