Billiards tables - a minimal model for particles moving in a confined region - are known to present classical (and quantum) different features according to their shape, ranging from strongly chaotic to integrable dynamics. Here we consider…
We study analytically and numerically the classical diffusive process which takes place in a chaotic billiard. This allows to estimate the conditions under which the statistical properties of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions can be described…
This article presents a new method to calculate eigenvalues of right triangle billiards. Its efficiency is comparable to the boundary integral method and more recently developed variants. Its simplicity and explicitness however allow new…
We present a systematic survey of scarring and symmetry effects in the stadium billiard. The localization of individual eigenfunctions in Husimi phase space is studied first, and it is demonstrated that on average there is more localization…
We study dynamical properties of the billiard flow on convex polyhedra away from a neighbourhood of the non-smooth part of the boundary, called ``pockets''. We prove there are only finitely many immersed periodic tubes missing the pockets…
Semiclassical wave functions in billiards based on the Maslov-Fedoriuk approach are constructed. They are defined on classical constructions called skeletons which are the billiards generalization of the Arnold tori. Skeletons in the…
We consider a class of random billiards in a tube, where reflection angles at collisions with the boundary of the tube are random variables rather than deterministic (and elastic) quantities. We obtain a (non-standard) Central Limit Theorem…
We report on experimental studies that were performed with a microwave Dirac billiard (DB), that is, a flat resonator containing metallic cylinders arranged on a triangular grid, whose shape has a threefold rotational C3 symmetry. Its band…
One of the most interesting problems in the theory of Birkhoff billiards is the problem of integrability. In all known examples of integrable billiards, the billiard tables are either conics, quadrics (closed ellipsoids as well as unclosed…
We consider classical billiards in plane, connected, but not necessarily bounded domains. The charged billiard ball is immersed in a homogeneous, stationary magnetic field perpendicular to the plane. The part of dynamics which is not…
The localization measures $A$ (based on the information entropy) of localized chaotic eigenstates in the Poincar\'e-Husimi representation have a distribution on a compact interval $[0,A_0]$, which is well approximated by the {\em beta…
We call internal-wave billiard the dynamical system of a point particle that moves freely inside a planar domain (the table) and is reflected by its boundary according to this rule: reflections are standard Fresnel reflections but with the…
We consider billiard ball motion in a convex domain of the Euclidean plane bounded by a piece-wise smooth curve influenced by the constant magnetic field. We show that if there exists a polynomial in velocities integral of the magnetic…
The rational billiards (RB) are classically pseudointegrable, i.e. their trajectories in the phase space lie on multi-tori. Each such a multi-torus can be unfolded into elementary polygon pattern (EPP). A rational billiards Riemann surface…
Nonlinear coupling between eigenmodes of a system leads to spectral energy redistribution. For multi-wavespeed chaotic billiards the average coupling strength can exhibit sharp discontinuities as a function of frequency related to…
We obtain sharp error rates in the local limit theorem for the Sinai billiard map (one and two dimensional) with infinite horizon. This result allows us to further obtain higher order terms and thus, sharp mixing rates in the speed of…
Quantum chaos manifests itself also in algorithmical complexity of methods, including the numerical ones, in solving the Schr\"odinger equation. In this contribution we address the problem of calculating the eigenenergies and the…
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…
Rational polygonal billiards are one of the key models among the larger class of pseudo-integrable billiards. Their billiard flow may be lifted to the geodesic flow on a translation surface. Whereas such classical billiards have been much…
We investigate a class of mechanical billiards, where a particle moves in a planar region under the influence of an n-centre potential and reflects elastically on a straight wall. Motivated by Boltzmann's original billiard model we explore…
