On some invariants of Birkhoff billiards under conjugacy

Dynamical Systems 2021-06-01 v1

Abstract

In the class of strictly convex smooth boundaries, each of which not having strip around its boundary foliated by invariant curves, we prove that the Taylor coefficients of the "normalized" Mather's β\beta-function are invariants under CC^\infty-conjugacies. In contrast, we prove that any two elliptic billiard maps are C0C^0-conjugated near their respective boundaries, and CC^\infty-conjugated in the open cylinder, near the boundary and away from a plain passing through the center of the underlying ellipse. We also prove that if the billiard maps corresponding to two ellipses are topologically conjugated then the two ellipses are similar.
