Abstract: We study the dynamics of polynomial-like mappings in several variables. A special case of our results is the following theorem. Let f be a proper holomorphic map from an open set U onto a Stein manifold V, $U\subset\subset V$. Assume f is of topological degree d_t>1. Then there is a probability measure μsupported on $\bigcap_{n\geq 0}f^{-n}(V)$ satisfying the following properties. 1. The measure μis invariant, K-mixing, of maximal entropy \log d_t. 2. If J is the Jacobian of f with respect to a volume form then $\int \log J \d μ\geq \log d_t$. 3. For every probability measure νon V with no mass on pluripolar sets $d_t^{-n} (f^n)^*ν$ converges to $μ$. 4. If the p.s.h. functions on V are μ-integrables (μis PLB) then (a) The Lyapounov exponents for μare strictly positive. (b) μis exponentially mixing. (c) There is a proper analytic subset E of V such that for $z\not\in\E$, $μ^z_n:=d_t^{-n} (f^n)^*δ_z$ converges to μ. (d) The measure μis a limit of Dirac masses on the repelling periodic points. The condition μis PLB is stable under small pertubation of f. This gives large families where it is satisfied.
