Let $(M, g)$ be a Riemannian manifold with boundary, where $g$ is a non-trapping metric. Let $SM$ be the space of the spherical tangent to $M$ bundle, and $v^g$ the geodesic vector field on $SM$. We study the scattering maps $C_{v^g}:…

Given an integer $k \geq 5$, and a $C^k$ Anosov flow $\Phi$ on some compact connected $3$-manifold preserving a smooth volume, we show that the measure of maximal entropy (MME) is the volume measure if and only if $\Phi$ is…

In this paper we prove that a totally integrable strictly-convex symplectic billiard table, whose boundary has everywhere strictly positive curvature, must be an ellipse. The proof, inspired by the analogous result of Bialy for Birkhoff…

We consider weak invariance principles (functional limit theorems) in the domain of a stable law. A general result is obtained on lifting such limit laws from an induced dynamical system to the original system. An important class of…

N point particles move within a billiard table made of two circular cavities connected by a straight channel. The usual billiard dynamics is modified so that it remains deterministic, phase space volumes preserving and time reversal…

We extend a recent result of Tim Austin (see arXiv:0905.0515) to the L^1 setting, thus providing a general version of the Birkhoff ergodic theorem for functions taking values in nonpositively curved spaces. In this setting, the notion of a…

In this work we consider variational properties of exact symplectic twist maps $T$ that act on the cotangent bundle of a torus, or on a ball bundle over a sphere. An example of such a map is the well-known Birkhoff billiard map…

We consider algebraic geometrical properties of the integrable billiard on a quadric Q with elastic impacts along another quadric confocal to Q. These properties are in sharp contrast with those of the ellipsoidal Birkhoff billiards.…

We consider billiard ball motion in a convex domain of a constant curvature surface influenced by the constant magnetic field. We prove that if the billiard map is totally integrable then the boundary curve is necessarily a circle. This…

It has long been known that the set of primitive pythagorean triples can be enumerated by descending certain ternary trees. We unify these treatments by considering hyperbolic billiard tables in the Poincare disk model. Our tables have m>=3…

We show homological mirror symmetry results relating coherent analytic sheaves on some complex elliptic surfaces and objects of certain Fukaya categories. We first define the notion of a non-algebraic Landau-Ginzburg model on $\mathbb{R}…

This article is concerned with the study of Mather's \beta-function associated to Birkhoff billiards. This function corresponds to the minimal average action of orbits with a prescribed rotation number and, from a different perspective, it…

The most general solution to the Einstein equations in $4=3+1$ dimensions in the asymptotical limit close to the cosmological singularity under the BKL (Belinski-Khalatnikov-Lifshitz) hypothesis, for which space gradients are neglected and…

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 study the asymptotic behavior of the $\nu$-symmetric Riemman sums for functionals of a self-similar centered Gaussian process $X$ with increment exponent $0<\alpha<1$. We prove that, under mild assumptions on the covariance of $X$, the…

We prove the Almost Sure Invariance Principle (ASIP) with close to optimal error rates for nonuniformly hyperbolic maps. We do not assume exponential contraction along stable leaves, therefore our result covers in particular slowly mixing…

We study the statistical properties of the high-lying chaotic eigenstates (200,000 and above) which are deep in the semiclassical regime. The system we are analyzing is the billiard system inside the region defined by the quadratic…

This work results from our attempts to solve Boltzmann-Sinai's hypothesis about the ergodicity of hard ball gases. A crucial element in the studies of the dynamics of hard balls is the analysis of special hypersurfaces in the phase space…

In this paper, we study the structure of Birkhoff spectra for hyperbolic dynamical systems. Given a H\"older observable \(f\) on a basic set \(\Lambda\), we obtain the following results: First, we characterize when the Birkhoff spectrum of…

We generalize the framework of tilt-stability to singular schemes and formulate the generalized Bogomolov-Gieseker inequality conjecture of Bayer-Macr\`i-Toda for singular threefolds. We also develop relative versions of these…
