Abstract
We prove that a bounded domain in with smooth boundary has a periodic billiard trajectory with at most bounce times and of length less than , where is a positive constant which depends only on , and is the supremum of radius of balls in . This result improves the result by C.Viterbo, which asserts that has a periodic billiard trajectory of length less than . To prove this result, we study symplectic capacity of Liouville domains, which is defined via symplectic homology.
