We consider the system of $N$ ($\ge2$) elastically colliding hard balls of masses $m_1,...,m_N$ and radius $r$ on the flat unit torus $\Bbb T^\nu$, $\nu\ge2$. We prove the so called Boltzmann-Sinai Ergodic Hypothesis, i. e. the full…

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 system of $N$ ($\ge2$) hard balls with masses $m_1,...,m_N$ and radius $r$ in the flat torus $\Bbb T_L^\nu=\Bbb R^\nu/L\cdot\Bbb Z^\nu$ of size $L$, $\nu\ge3$. We prove the ergodicity (actually, the Bernoulli mixing…

We consider the system of $N$ ($\ge2$) hard disks of masses $m_1,...,m_N$ and radius $r$ in the flat unit torus $\Bbb T^2$. We prove the ergodicity (actually, the B-mixing property) of such systems for almost every selection…

We consider the system of N (\ge 2) elastically colliding hard balls with masses m_1,..., m_N, radius r, moving uniformly in the flat torus T_L^{\nu}= R^\nu/L \cdot Z^\nu, \nu \ge 2. It is proved here that the relevant Lyapunov exponents of…

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 1963 Ya. G. Sinai formulated a modern version of Boltzmann's ergodic hypothesis, what we now call the ``Boltzmann-Sinai Ergodic Hypothesis'': The billiard system of $N$ ($N\ge 2$) hard balls of unit mass moving on the flat torus…

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…

In the ergodic theory of semi-dispersing billiards the Local Ergodic Theorem, proved by Chernov and Sinai in 1987, plays a central role. So far, all existing proofs of this theorem had to use an annoying global hypothesis, namely the almost…

In this paper we present an unconditional proof of Wojtkowski's Ergodicity Conjecture for almost every system of 1D perfectly elastic balls falling down in a half line under constant gravitational acceleration. Namely, by introducing a new…

Wojtkowski's system of $N$, $N \geq 2$, falling balls is a nonuniformly hyperbolic smooth dynamical system with singularities. It is still an open question whether this system is ergodic. We contribute towards an affirmative answer, by…

The system of falling balls is an autonomous Hamiltonian system with a smooth invariant measure and non-zero Lyapunov exponents almost everywhere. For almost three decades new, the question of its ergodicity remains open. We contribute to…

We prove the hyperbolicity, ergodicity and thus the Bernoulli property of two hard balls in one of the following four polygons: the square, the equilateral triangle, the $45-45-90^\circ$ triangle or the $30-60-90^\circ$ triangle.

The existence of static self-gravitating Newtonian elastic balls is proved under general assumptions on the constitutive equations of the elastic material. The proof uses methods from the theory of finite-dimensional dynamical systems and…

We discuss the Sinai method of proving ergodicity of a discontinuous Hamiltonian system with (non-uniform) hyperbolic behavior.

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…

We study a mechanical system that was considered by Boltzmann in 1868 in the context of the derivation of the canonical and microcanonical ensembles. This system was introduced as an example of ergodic dynamics, which was central to…

In this paper we study the ergodic properties of mathematical billiards describing the uniform motion of a point in a flat torus from which finitely many, pairwise disjoint, tubular neighborhoods of translated subtori (the so called…

The system of falling balls is an autonomous Hamiltonian system with a smooth invariant measure and non-zero Lyapunov exponents almost everywhere. Since almost three decades, the question of ergodicity is still open. The subject of this…
