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…
In this paper we prove Bialy's conjecture which states that if the Mather beta functions of two ellipses coincide at two nonzero rotation numbers then the ellipses coincide. We also show that the same conclusion holds when only one rotation…
We focus on the outer length billiard dynamics, acting on the exterior of a strictly-convex planar domain. We first show that ellipses are totally integrable. We then provide an explicit representation of first order terms for the formal…
We review the author's results on Mather's $\beta$ function : non-strict convexity of $\beta$ when the configuration space has dimension two, link between the size of the Aubry set and the differentiability of $\beta$, correlation between…
In this article we discuss pointwise spectral rigidity results for several billiard systems (e.g., Birkhoff billiards, symplectic billiards and $4$-th billiards), showing that a single value of Mather's $\beta$-function can determine…
In this article we study the differentiability of Mather's $\beta$-function on closed surfaces and its relation to the integrability of the system.
Elliptical rotation is the motion of a point on an ellipse through some angle about a vector. The purpose of this paper is to examine the generation of elliptical rotations and to interpret the motion of a point on an elipsoid using…

We introduce the concepts of rotation numbers and rotation vectors for billiard maps. Our approach is based on the birkhoff ergodic theorem. We anticipate that it will be useful, in particular, for the purpose of establishing the…

We offer some theorems, mainly of finiteness, for certain patterns in elliptical billiards, related to periodic trajectories. For instance, if two players hit a ball at a given position and with directions forming a fixed angle in…
We propose a regularization technique and apply it to the Euler product of zeta functions, mainly of the Riemann zeta function, to make unknown some clear. In this paper that is the first part of the trilogy, we try to demonstrate the…
This note deals with two topics of linear algebra. We give a simple and short proof of the multiplicative property of the determinant and provide a constructive formula for rotations. The derivation of the rotation matrix relies on simple…
