A non-varying phenomenon with an application to the wind-tree model

Dynamical Systems 2021-11-30 v2

Abstract

We exhibit a non-varying phenomenon for the counting problem of cylinders, weighted by their area, passing through two marked (regular) Weierstrass points of a translation surface in a hyperelliptic connected component Hhyp(2g2)\mathcal{H}^{hyp}(2g-2) or Hhyp(g1,g1)\mathcal{H}^{hyp}(g-1,g-1), g>1g > 1. As an application, we obtain the non-varying phenomenon for the counting problem of (weighted) periodic trajectories on the classical wind-tree model, a billiard in the plane endowed with Z2\mathbb{Z}^2-periodically located identical rectangular obstacles.

Comments

14 pages, 3 figure. Mayor revision: Sections 3 and 4 from former version are treated uniformly on Section 3 of the new version, by working directly on the sphere (referee observation). Minor mistake on the counterexamples section corrected and new examples provided
