Remarks on the outer length billiards

Dynamical Systems 2026-03-09 v1

Abstract

We study outer length billiards; our main results are as follows. We prove 3- and 4-periodic versions of the Ivrii conjecture. We show that, for every period n3n\ge 3, there exists a functional space of billiard tables that possess invariant curves consisting of nn-periodic points. For n=4n=4, we explicitly parameterize such centrally symmetric billiard tables by functions of one variable and describe how to construct these tables geometrically, similarly to the known construction of Radon curves.
