It is known that the non-equilibrium version of the Lorentz gas (a billiard with dispersing obstacles, electric field and Gaussian thermostat) is hyperbolic if the field is small. Differently the hyperbolicity of the non-equilibrium…
We show that Lyapunov exponent for the Sinai billiard is $\lambda = -2\log(R)+C+O(R\log^2 R)$ with $C=1-4\log 2+27/(2\pi^2)\cdot \zeta(3)$ where $R$ is the radius of the circular scatterer. We consider the disk-to-disk-map of the standard…

It is well-known that billiards in polygons cannot be chaotic (hyperbolic). Particularly Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy of any polygonal billiard is zero. We consider physical polygonal billiards where a moving particle is a hard disc rather than…

We describe conditions under which higher-dimensional billiard models in bounded, convex regions are fully chaotic, generalizing the Bunimovich stadium to dimensions above two. An example is a three-dimensional stadium bounded by a cylinder…
