In this paper, we construct some unirational Calabi–Yau threefolds in characteristic 3. We adopt the method by Schoen, but we use quasi-elliptic surfaces instead of elliptic surfaces. We find new examples which do not admit a lifting to characteristic zero.

Completely invariant components of the Fatou sets of meromorphic maps are discussed. Positive answers are given to Baker’s and Bergweiler’s problems that such components are the only Fatou components for certain classes of meromorphic maps.

We study the ergodic properties of fibered rational maps of the Riemann sphere. In particular we compute the topological entropy of such mappings and construct a measure of maximal relative entropy. The measure is shown to be the unique one with this property. We apply the results to selfmaps of ruled surfaces and to certain holomorphic mapping of the complex projective plane$P$^{2}.
