Typical recurrence for the ehrenfest wind-tree model

Dynamical Systems 2012-01-19 v1

Abstract

We show that the typical wind-tree model, in the sense of Baire, is recurrent and has a dense set of periodic orbits. The recurrence result also holds for the Lorentz gas : the typical Lorentz gas, in the sense of Baire, is recurrent. These Lorentz gases need not be of finite horizon!
