Singular continuous spectra in a pseudo-integrable billiard

Chaotic Dynamics 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

The pseudo-integrable barrier billiard invented by Hannay and McCraw [J. Phys. A 23, 887 (1990)] -- rectangular billiard with line-segment barrier placed on a symmetry axis -- is generalized. It is proven that the flow on invariant surfaces of genus two exhibits a singular continuous spectral component.
