pi pi scattering at low energy is sensitive to the structure of the QCD vacuum. I review the calculations of the pi pi scattering lengths and phases, and group them in three cathegories: 1. those based on very general theoretical…

In an ordinary billiard trajectories of a Hamiltonian system are elastically reflected after a collision with a hypersurface (scatterer). If the scatterer is a submanifold of codimension more than one, we say that the billiard is…

Systems with space-periodic Hamiltonians have unique scattering properties. The discrete translational symmetry associated with periodicity of the Hamiltonian creates scattering channels that govern the scattering process. We consider a…
