We consider billiards with a single cusp where the walls meeting at the vertex of the cusp have zero one-sided curvature, thus forming a flat point at the vertex. For H\"older continuous observables, we show that properly normalized Birkoff…
We prove convergence to a Levy process for a class of dispersing billiards with cusps. For such examples, convergence to a stable law was proved by Jung & Zhang. For the corresponding functional limit law, convergence is not possible in the…
We consider a class of planar dispersing billiards with a cusp at a point of vanishing curvature. Convergence to a stable law and to the corresponding L\'evy process in the $\cM_1$ and $\cM_2$ Skorohod topologies has been studied in recent…
We prove that a a strongly convex planar domain (Birkhoff table) with dihedral symmetry, which is sufficiently close in a finitely smooth topology to an ellipse, is deformationally spectrally rigid within the class of domains preserving…
We investigate the competition between two distinct mechanisms generating stable laws in deterministic dynamical systems: slow mixing of the system and heavy-tailed observables. For heavy-tailed observables on polynomially mixing billiards…
In this paper we study the Birkhoff Normal Form around elliptic periodic points for a variety of dynamical billiards. We give an explicit construction of the Birkhoff transformation and obtain explicit formulas for the first two twist…
The aim of the present paper is to establish a Bialy-Mironov type rigidity for centrally symmetric symplectic billiards. For a centrally symmetric $C^2$ strongly-convex domain $D$ with boundary $\partial D$, assume that the symplectic…
The problem of the existence of an analytic normal form near an equilibrium point of an area-preserving map and analyticity of the associated coordinate change is a classical problem in dynamical systems going back to Poincar\'e and Siegel.…
In this work, we study a family of fully chaotic billiards that exhibits only rotational symmetries, whose geometry is based on the $C_3$ symmetry system proposed by Leyvraz, Schmit, and Seligman~(LSS) in 1996. Quantum spectral analyses are…
In this paper we prove the Birkhoff-Poritsky conjecture for centrally-symmetric $C^2$-smooth convex planar billiards. We assume that the domain $\mathcal A$ between the invariant curve of $4$-periodic orbits and the boundary of the phase…
In the setting of abstract Markov maps, we prove results concerning the convergence of renormalized Birkhoff sums to normal laws or stable laws. They apply to one-dimensional maps with a neutral fixed point at 0 of the form…
In this paper we study centrally symmetric Birkhoff billiard tables. We introduce a closed invariant set $\mathcal{M}_\mathcal{B}$ consisting of locally maximizing orbits of the billiard map lying inside the region $\mathcal{B}$ bounded by…
In this paper we prove a perturbative version of a remarkable Bialy-Mironov (Ann.Math:389-413(196), 2022) result. They prove non perturbative Birkhoff conjecture for centrally-symmetric convex domains, namely, a centrally-symmetric convex…
The classical Birkhoff conjecture claims that the boundary of a strictly convex integrable billiard table is necessarily an ellipse (or a circle as a special case). In this article we prove a complete local version of this conjecture: a…
We present a solution of the algebraic version of Birkhoff Conjecture on integrable billiards. Namely we show that every polynomially integrable real bounded convex planar billiard with smooth boundary is an ellipse. We extend this result…
We investigate the integrability of Kepler billiards-mechanical billiard systems in which a particle moves under the influence of a Keplerian potential and reflects elastically at the boundary of a strictly convex planar domain. Our main…
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…
We consider two nested billiards in $\mathbb R^d$, $d\geq3$, with $C^2$-smooth strictly convex boundaries. We prove that if the corresponding actions by reflections on the space of oriented lines commute, then the billiards are confocal…
We use a Poisson point process approach to prove distributional convergence to a stable law for non square-integrable observables $\phi: [0,1]\to R$, mostly of the form $\phi (x) = d(x,x_0)^{-\frac{1}{\alpha}}$,$0<\alpha\le 2$, on…
In the class of strictly convex smooth boundaries, each of which not having strip around its boundary foliated by invariant curves, we prove that the Taylor coefficients of the "normalized" Mather's $\beta$-function are invariants under…
