Abstract
We study the dynamics of polynomial automorphisms ofC k. To an algebraically stable automorphism we associate positive closed currents which are invariant underf, consideringf as a rational map onP k. These currents give information on the dynamics and allow us to construct a canonical invariant measure which is shown to be mixing.
