Abstract: We study automorphisms of compact Kähler manifolds having slow dynamics. Adapting Gromov's classical argument, we give an upper bound on the polynomial entropy and study its possible values in dimensions and . We prove that every automorphism with sublinear derivative growth is an isometry; a counter-example is given in the $C^{\infty }$ context, answering negatively a question of Artigue, Carrasco-Olivera, and Monteverde in [Acta Math. Hungar. 152 (2017), pp. 140-149] on polynomial entropy. We also study minimal automorphisms of surfaces with respect to the Zariski or euclidean topology.
