We prove that any finitely smooth axially symmetric strictly convex domain, with everywhere positive curvature and sufficiently close to an ellipse is area spectrally rigid. This means that any area-isospectral family of domains in this…

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 show a local rigidity result for the integrability of symplectic billiards. We prove that any domain which is close to an ellipse, and for which the symplectic billiard map is rationally integrable must be an ellipse as well. This is in…

We show that any sufficiently (finitely) smooth $\mathbb Z_2$-symmetric strictly convex domain sufficiently close to a circle is dynamically spectrally rigid, i.e. all deformations among domains in the same class which preserve the length…

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…

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…

Given a strictly convex domain $\Omega$ in $\R^2$, there is a natural way to define a billiard map in it: a rectilinear path hitting the boundary reflects so that the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. In this paper we…

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…

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…

The Birkhoff conjecture says that the boundary of a strictly convex integrable billiard table is necessarily an ellipse. In this article, we consider a stronger notion of integrability, namely integrability close to the boundary, and prove…

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…

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…

This work presents a framework for billiards in convex domains on two dimensional Riemannian manifolds. These domains are contained in connected, simply connected open subsets which are totally normal. In this context, some basic properties…

We show, using standard results in length spectrum rigidity and symplectic homology, that if the unit tangent bundles of two compact surfaces of negative curvature are exact symplectomorphic, then the underlying surfaces are isometric, and…

The Birkhoff conjecture says that the boundary of a strictly convex integrable billiard table is necessarily an ellipse. In this article, we consider a stronger notion of integrability, namely, integrability close to the boundary, and prove…

The celebrated Hardy-Landau lower bound for the error term in the Gauss's circle problem can be viewed as an estimate from below for the remainder in Weyl's law on a square, with either Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. We prove an…

Motivated by work of the first author, this paper studies symplectic embedding problems of lagrangian products that are sufficiently symmetric. In general, lagrangian products arise naturally in the study of billiards. The main result of…

We show that if the eccentricity of an ellipse is sufficiently small then up to isometries it is spectrally unique among all smooth domains. We do not assume any symmetry, convexity, or closeness to the ellipse, on the class of domains. In…

We show that for any natural number n, the set of domains containing absolutely periodic orbits of order n are dense in the set of bounded strictly convex domains with smooth boundary. The proof that such an orbit exists is an extension to…

We characterize fundamental domains of affine reflection groups as those polyhedral convex bodies which support a continuous billiard dynamics. We interpret this characterization in the broader context of Alexandrov geometry and prove an…
