One of the versions of the wind-tree model of Boltzmann gas, suggested by Paul and Tatiana Ehrenfest more than a century ago, can be seen as a billiard in the plane endowed with $\mathbb{Z}\oplus\mathbb{Z}$-periodic rectangular obstacles.…
We show, both heuristically and numerically, that three-dimensional periodic Lorentz gases -- clouds of particles scattering off crystalline arrays of hard spheres -- often exhibit normal diffusion, even when there are gaps through which…
The Lorentz gas is a billiard model involving a point particle diffusing deterministically in a periodic array of convex scatterers. In the two dimensional finite horizon case, in which all trajectories involve collisions with the…
Recently, stretched exponential decay of multiple correlations in the periodic Lorentz gas has been used to show the convergence of a series of correlations which has the physical interpretation as the fourth order Burnett coefficient, a…

We consider the wind-tree model, a $\mathbb{Z}^2$ - periodic billiard. In the case when the underlying compact translation surface lies on a periodic orbit of the Teichm\"uller geodesic flow, and at least one of the two homology classes…
We consider a two-dimensional Lorentz gas with infinite horizon. This paradigmatic model consists of pointlike particles undergoing elastic collisions with fixed scatterers arranged on a periodic lattice. It was rigorously shown that when…
We study dynamical recurrences of a Bose-Einstein condensate in an optical crystal subject to a periodic external driving force. The recurrence behavior of the condensate is analyzed as a function of time close to nonlinear resonances…
The Arboreal gas model on a finite graph $G$ is the Bernoulli bond percolation on $G$ conditioned on the event that the sampled subgraph is a forest. In this short note we study the arboreal gas on a regular tree wired at the leaves and…
For an ordinary thermodynamical system the Poincar\'{e} recurrence time is exponentially large in the Boltzmann entropy of the system. It turns out, that for a system with dynamical chaos it is determined by the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy and…
We investigate quantitative recurrence in systems having an infinite measure. We extend the Ornstein-Weiss theorem for a general class of infinite systems estimating return time in decreasing sequences of cylinders. Then we restrict to a…
We prove that aperiodic and linearly repetitive Lorentz gases with finite horizon are not mixing with exponential or stretched exponential speed in any dimension for any class of H\"older observables. We also bound the polynomial speed of…
We establish strong mixing for the $\mathbb Z^d$-periodic, infinite horizon, Lorentz gas flow for continuous observables with compact support. The essential feature of this natural class of observables is that their support may contain…
The periodic wind-tree model is an infinite billiard in the plane with identical rectangular scatterers disposed at each integer point. We prove that independently of the size of the scatterers, generically with respect to the angle, the…
The parameter dependence of the various attractive solutions of the three variable nonlinear Lorenz model equations for thermal convection in Rayleigh-B\'enard flow is studied. Its bifurcation structure has commonly been investigated as a…
Consider the following interacting particle system on the $d$-ary tree, known as the frog model: Initially, one particle is awake at the root and i.i.d. Poisson many particles are sleeping at every other vertex. Particles that are awake…
Generic Kerr orbits exhibit intricate three-dimensional motion. We offer a classification scheme for these intricate orbits in terms of periodic orbits. The crucial insight is that for a given effective angular momentum $L$ and angle of…
In this paper we show that all infinite trees which have bounded coordination and whose surface is negligible with respect to the volume in the limit of large distances (so that they can be embedded in a finite-dimensional euclidean space)…
In this paper we give an extension of the Birkhoff--Lewis theorem to some semilinear PDEs. Accordingly we prove existence of infinitely many periodic orbits with large period accumulating at the origin. Such periodic orbits bifurcate from…
We calculate certain features of Bose-Einstein condensation in the ideal gas by using recurrence relations for the partition function. The grand canonical ensemble gives inaccurate results for certain properties of the condensate that are…
