We consider the system of $N$ ($\ge2$) elastically colliding hard balls of masses $m_1,...,m_N$ and radius $r$ in the flat unit torus $\Bbb T^\nu$, $\nu\ge2$. In the case $\nu=2$ we prove (the full hyperbolicity and) the ergodicity of such…

We consider the billiard flow of elastically colliding hard balls on the flat $\nu$-torus ($\nu\ge 2$), and prove that no singularity manifold can even locally coincide with a manifold describing future non-hyperbolicity of the…
The connected configuration space of a so called cylindric billiard system is a flat torus minus finitely many spherical cylinders. The dynamical system describes the uniform motion of a point particle in this configuration space with…
Consider the system of $n$ identical hard balls in $\mathbb R^3$ moving freely and colliding elastically. We show that there exist initial conditions such that the number of collisions is exponential in $n$.
We show the existence of large $\mathcal C^1$ open sets of area preserving endomorphisms of the two-torus which have no dominated splitting and are non-uniformly hyperbolic, meaning that Lebesgue almost every point has a positive and a…
We study the characteristic exponents of the Hamiltonian system of $n$ ($\ge 2$) point masses $m_1,\dots,m_n$ freely falling in the vertical half line $\{q|\, q\ge 0\}$ under constant gravitation and colliding with each other and the solid…
In this paper we continue the analysis of non-diagonalisable hyperbolic systems initiated in \cite{GarJRuz, GarJRuz2}. Here we assume that the system has discontinuous coefficients or more in general distributional coefficients.…
Every volume-preserving centre-bunched fibred partially hyperbolic system with 2-dimensional centre either (1) has two distinct centre Lyapunov exponents, or (2) exhibits an invariant continuous line field (or pair of line fields) tangent…

In this paper we present a conditional proof of Wojtkowski's Ergodicity Conjecture for the system of 1D perfectly elastic balls falling down in a half line under constant gravitational acceleration. Namely, we prove that almost every such…
In this paper, we study rigidity problems between Lyapunov exponents along periodic orbits and geometric structures. More specifically, we prove that for a surface M without focal points, if the value of the Lyapunov exponents is constant…
A perfectly elastic beam is situated on top of a two dimensional fluid canister. The beam is deforming in accordance to an interaction with a Navier-Stokes fluid. Hence a hyperbolic equation is coupled to the Navier-Stokes equation. The…
We prove that the system of two hard balls in a $\nu$-dimensional ($\nu\ge2$) rectangular box is ergodic and, therefore, actually it is a Bernoulli flow.
We prove convergence to a Levy process for a class of dispersing billiards with cusps. For such examples, convergence to a stable law was proved by Jung & Zhang. For the corresponding functional limit law, convergence is not possible in the…
In this paper we consider the billiard flow in the exterior of several (at least three) balls in $\R^3$ with centres lying on a plane. We assume that the balls satisfy the no eclipse condition (H) and their radii are small compared to the…
We review some recent progresses in study of the 1D strongly correlated electron systems of long range hopping and exchange. The systems are completely integrable, with infinite number of constants of motions. The results of the physical…
