We present analytical and numerical solutions of the Lippmann-Schwinger equation for the scattered wavefunctions generated by confocal parabolic billiards and parabolic segments with various $\delta$-type potential-strength functions. The…
We introduce the concepts of rotation numbers and rotation vectors for billiard maps. Our approach is based on the birkhoff ergodic theorem. We anticipate that it will be useful, in particular, for the purpose of establishing the…
We consider classical dynamical properties of a particle in a constant gravitational force and making specular reflections with circular, elliptic or oval boundaries. The model and collision map are described and a detailed study of the…
In this paper we study the dynamical billiards on a convex 2D sphere. We investigate some generic properties of the convex billiards on a general convex sphere. We prove that $C^\infty$ generically, every periodic point is either hyperbolic…
The problem of the quantizations of the $L$-shaped billiards and the like ones, i.e. each angle of which is equal to $\pi/2$ or $3\pi/2$, is considered using as a tool the Fourier series expansion method. The respective wave functions and…
In a hyperbolic polygon any finite collection of closed billiard trajectories can be assigned an average length function. In this paper, we consider the average length of the collection of cyclically related closed billiard trajectories in…
A hyperbolic conjugacy class in the modular group PSL(2,Z) corresponds to a closed geodesic in the modular orbifold. Some of these geodesics virtually bound immersed surfaces, and some do not; the distinction is related to the polyhedral…
Finite horizon Sinai billiard maps are examples of uniformly hyperbolic systems with singularities. These discontinuities make it more difficult to develop the classical theory of thermodynamic formalism. Nevertheless, Baladi and Demers…
We prove that, for a $C^2$ partially hyperbolic endomorphism of the 2-torus which is strongly transitive, given an ergodic $u$-Gibbs measure that has positive center Lyapunov exponent and has full support, then either the map is special…
We study small perturbations of a sectional hyperbolic set of a vector field on a compact manifold. Indeed, we obtain robustly finiteness of homoclinic classes on this scenary. Moreover, since attractor and repeller sets are particular…
In this article, we study polygonal symplectic billiards. We provide new results, some of which are inspired by numerical investigations. In particular, we present several polygons for which all orbits are periodic. We demonstrate their…
We consider billiard trajectories in a smooth convex body in $\mathbb R^d$ and estimate the number of distinct periodic trajectories that make exactly $p$ reflections per period at the boundary of the body. In the case of prime $p$ we…
In this paper I will unite two games, symplectic billiards and tiling billiards. The new game is called symplectic tiling billiards. I will prove a result about periodic orbits of symplectic tiling billiards in a very special case and then…
The complexity of the billiard language of regular polygons in the hyperbolic plane with $p$ sides and $2\pi/q$ internal angles is known to grow exponentially and the exponential growth rate is known to equal the topological entropy of the…
We consider a geodesic billiard system consisting of a complete Riemannian manifold and an obstacle submanifold with boundary at which the trajectories of the geodesic flow experience specular reflections. We show that if the geodesic…
We prove the asymptotic functional Poisson laws in the total variation norm and obtain estimates of the corresponding convergence rates for a large class of hyperbolic dynamical systems. These results generalize the ones obtained before in…
We introduce and study a family of non-conformal and non-uniformly contracting iterated function systems. We refer to the attractors of such systems as parabolic carpets. Roughly speaking they may be thought of as nonlinear analogues of…
We consider the billiard dynamics in a non-compact set of R^d that is constructed as a bi-infinite chain of translated copies of the same d-dimensional polytope. A random configuration of semi-dispersing scatterers is placed in each copy.…
We introduce the concept of a heterodimensional cycle of hyperbolic ergodic measures and a special type of them that we call rich. Within a partially hyperbolic context, we prove that if two measures are related by a rich heterodimensional…
Dogru and Tabachnikov in 2003 explored the polygonal outer billiard map in the hyperbolic plane and introduced a class of convex polygons called 'large'. They particularly sought conditions for a triangle to be classified as large. For a…
