On Sinai billiards on flat surfaces with non-flat horns

Dynamical Systems 2021-05-05 v2

Abstract

We show that certain billiard flows on planar billiard tables with horns can be modeled as suspension flows over Young towers with exponential tails. Because the height function of the suspension flow itself is polynomial when the horns are Torricelli-like trumpets, one can derive Limit Laws for the billiard flow, including Stable Limits if the parameter of the Torricelli trumpet is chosen in (1,2)(1,2).
