We consider the distribution of the orbits of the number 1 under the $\beta$-transformations $T_\beta$ as $\beta$ varies. Mainly, the size of the set of $\beta>1$ for which a given point can be well approximated by the orbit of 1 is…
We classify the periodic digit strings which arise from periodic billiard orbits on the four convex $n$-gons $\Delta$ which tile $\mathbb{R}^2$ under reflection, answering problem a posed by Baxter and Umble. $\Delta$ is either an…
This paper is devoted to the examination of the properties of the string construction for the Birkhoff billiard. Based on purely geometric considerations, string construction is suited to provide a table for the Birkhoff billiard, having…
The Baker-Akhiezer (BA) function theory was successfully developed in the mid 1970s. This theory brought very interesting and important results in the spectral theory of almost periodic operators and theory of completely integrable…
First, we show that implied normal volatility is intimately linked with the incomplete Gamma function. Then, we deduce an expansion on implied normal volatility in terms of the time-value of a European call option. Then, we formulate an…
We consider the Riesz and Hardy-Littlewood wave i.e. a ``critical function'' whose behaviour is concerned with the possible truth of the Riemann Hypothesis (RH). The function is studied numerically for the case alpha = 15/2 and beta = 4 in…
We study Birkhoff-James orthogonality of compact (bounded) linear operators between Hilbert spaces and Banach spaces. Applying the notion of semi-inner-products in normed linear spaces and some related geometric ideas, we generalize and…
We define a tau function for a generic Riemann-Hilbert problem posed on a union of non-intersecting smooth closed curves with jump matrices analytic in their neighborhood. The tau function depends on parameters of the jumps and is expressed…
We present a semiclassical description of the level density of a two-dimensional circular quantum dot in a homogeneous magnetic field. We model the total potential (including electron-electron interaction) of the dot containing many…
We study the geometric significance of Leinster's magnitude invariant. For closed manifolds we find a precise relation with Brylinski's beta function and therefore with classical invariants of knots and submanifolds. In the special case of…
We study billiards in plane domains, with a perpendicular magnetic field and a potential. We give some results on periodic orbits, KAM tori and adiabatic invariants. We also prove the existence of bound states in a related scattering…
We consider billiards with several possibly non-isometric and asymmetric cusps at flat points; the case of a single symmetric cusp was studied previously in Zhang (2017) and Jung & Zhang (2018). In particular, we show that properly…
We show that two-dimensional billiard systems are Turing complete, in the sense that the halting of any Turing machine with a given input is equivalent to a certain bounded trajectory in this system entering a specified open set. Billiards…
This paper, together with Part II, expands the results of math.DG/9803051. In Part I we study the twisted index theory of elliptic operators on orbifold covering spaces of compact good orbifolds, which are invariant under a projective…
For a bounded planar domain $\Omega^0$ whose boundary contains a number of flat pieces $\Gamma_i$ we consider a family of non-symmetric billiards $\Omega$ constructed by patching several copies of $\Omega^0$ along $\Gamma_i$'s. It is…
We study dynamical properties of the billiard flow on convex polyhedra away from a neighbourhood of the non-smooth part of the boundary, called ``pockets''. We prove there are only finitely many immersed periodic tubes missing the pockets…
Cosmological billiards arise as a map of the solution to the Einstein equations, when the most general symmetry of the metric tensor is implemented, under the BKL (named after Belinskii, Khalatnikov and Lifshitz) paradigm, for which points…
We prove that the Birkhoff sums for ``almost every'' relevant observable in the stadium billiard obey a non-standard limit law. More precisely, the usual central limit theorem holds for an observable if and only if its integral along a…
Outer Billiards is a geometrically inspired dynamical system based on a convex shape in the plane. When the shape is a polygon, the system has a combinatorial flavor. In the polygonal case, there is a natural acceleration of the map, a…
The boundary integral method (BIM) is a formulation of Helmholtz equation in the form of an integral equation suitable for numerical discretization to solve the quantum billiard. This paper is an extensive numerical survey of BIM in a…
