We prove that the geodesic flow of a Kupka-Smale riemannian metric on a closed surface has homoclinic orbits for all of its hyperbolic closed geodesics.

A periodic orbit on a frictionless billiard table is a piecewise linear path of a billiard ball that begins and ends at the same point with the same angle of incidence. The period of a primitive periodic orbit is the number of times the…

Dynamical billiards, or the behavior of a particle traveling in a planar region $D$ undergoing elastic collisions with the boundary, has been extensively studied and is used to model many physical phenomena such as a Boltzmann gas. Of…

There is an open set of right triangles such that for each irrational triangle in this set (i) periodic billiards orbits are dense in the phase space, (ii) there is a unique nonsingular perpendicular billiard orbit which is not periodic,…

In this work we address the question of proving the stability of elliptic 2-periodic orbits for strictly convex billiards. Eventhough it is part of a widely accepted belief that ellipticity implies stability, classical theorems show that…

Periodic orbit theory for classical hyperbolic system is very significant matter of how we can interpret spectral statistics in terms of semiclassical theory. Although pruning is significant and generic property for almost all hyperbolic…

We study dynamics in a neighborhood of a nonhyperbolic fixed point or an irreducible homoclinic tangent point. General type conditions for the existence of infinite sets of periodic points are obtained. A new method, based on the study of…

Let $M_{\kappa }$ be the three-dimensional space form of constant curvature $\kappa =0,1,-1$, that is, Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{3}$, the sphere $S^{3} $, or hyperbolic space $H^{3}$. Let $S$ be a smooth, closed, strictly convex surface…

We show that a generic analytic strongly convex billiard is "maximally chaotic" in the sense that, for every rational number $\frac{p}{q} \in \mathbb{Q} \cap (0,1)$, all intersections between the stable and unstable manifolds of maximizing…

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…

We prove some partial results on the periodicity of billiard systems on graphs. The results specialize to the case of $n$ billiards with equal mass on the unit interval or circle traveling at the same speed.

In this paper we study structurally stable homoclinic classes. In a natural way, the structural stability for an individual homoclinic class is defined through the continuation of periodic points. Since the homoclinic classes is not…

We prove that any vector field on a three-dimensional compact manifold can be approximated in the C1-topology by one which is singular hyperbolic or by one which exhibits a homoclinic tangency associated to a regular hyperbolic periodic…

In this paper, we treat an open problem related to the number of periodic orbits of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms on closed symplectic manifolds, so-called generic Conley conjecture. Generic Conley conjecture states that generically…

Uniform hyperbolicity is a strong chaotic property which holds, in particular, for Sinai billiards. In this paper, we consider the case of a nonflat billiard, that is, a Riemannian manifold with boundary. Each trajectory follows the…

In this paper, we prove the existence of infinitely many homoclinic orbits for the first order Hamiltonian systems $J\dot{x}-M(t)x+ R'(t,x)=0$, by the minimax methods in critical point theory, when $R(t,y)$ satisfies the superquadratic…

We investigate the rotation sets of open billiards in $\mathbb{R}^N$ for the natural observable related to a starting point of a given billiard trajectory. We prove that the general rotation set is convex and the set of all convex…
