Symbolic dynamics for non-uniformly hyperbolic surface maps with discontinuities

Dynamical Systems 2020-04-21 v2

Abstract

This work constructs symbolic dynamics for non-uniformly hyperbolic surface maps with a set of discontinuities DD. We allow the derivative of points nearby DD to be unbounded, of the order of a negative power of the distance to DD. Under natural geometrical assumptions on the underlying space MM, we code a set of non-uniformly hyperbolic orbits that do not converge exponentially fast to DD. The results apply to non-uniformly hyperbolic planar billiards, e.g. Bunimovich stadia.
