We introduce a class of convex, higher-dimensional billiard models which generalise stadium billiards. These models correspond to the free motion of a point-particle in a region bounded by cylinders cut by planes. They are motivated by…
For n convex magnetic bumps in the plane, whose boundary has a curvature somewhat smaller than the absolute value of the constant magnetic field inside the bump, we construct a complete symbolic dynamics of a classical particle moving with…
Neutrino billiards serve as a model system for the study of aspects of relativistic quantum chaos. These are relativistic quantum billiards consisting of a spin-1/2 particle which is confined to a planar domain by imposing boundary…
In this paper we investigate the existence of closed billiard trajectories in not necessarily smooth convex bodies. In particular, we show that if a body $K\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ has the property that the tangent cone of every non-smooth…
We consider billiard trajectories in a smooth convex body in $\mathbb R^d$ and estimate the number of distinct periodic trajectories that make exactly $p$ reflections per period at the boundary of the body. In the case of prime $p$ we…
Eigenstates and energy levels of a square quantum billiard in a magnetic field, or with an Aharonov-Bohm flux line, are found in quasiclassical approximation, that is, for high enough energy. Explicit formulas for the energy levels and…
We show that there exists a $C^2$ open dense set of convex bodies with smooth boundary whose billiard map exhibits a non-trivial hyperbolic basic set. As a consequence billiards in generic convex bodies have positive topological entropy and…
The aim of this work is to put together two novel concepts from the theory of integrable billiards: billiard ordered games and confocal billiard books. Billiard books appeared recently in the work of Fomenko's school, in particular of V.…
In this article we study the dynamics of one-dimensional relativistic billiards containing particles with positive and negative energy. We study configurations with two identical positive masses and symmetric positions with two massless…
We describe conditions under which higher-dimensional billiard models in bounded, convex regions are fully chaotic, generalizing the Bunimovich stadium to dimensions above two. An example is a three-dimensional stadium bounded by a cylinder…
We study periodic linear trajectories in the double pentagon and periodic billiard trajectories in the regular pentagon.
For every quadrilateral sufficiently close to a rectangle, we shall show that it possess a periodic billiard path. This is an REU work done at ICERM in Summer 2012.
We investigate the rotation sets of open billiards in $\mathbb{R}^N$ for the natural observable related to a starting point of a given billiard trajectory. We prove that the general rotation set is convex and the set of all convex…
In this paper outer, or dual, billiards outside regular polygons are studied; in particular, periodic points for cases of strictly convex "tables" and for regular n-gons with n = 3,4,6,8,12 are discussed. The main results of the paper are:…
A new type of classical billiard - the Andreev billiard - is investigated using the tangent map technique. Andreev billiards consist of a normal region surrounded by a superconducting region. In contrast with previously studied billiards,…
A circular Andreev billiard in a uniform magnetic field is studied. It is demonstrated that the classical dynamics is pseudointegrable in the same sense as for rational polygonal billiards. The relation to a specific polygon, the asymmetric…
We review basic computational techniques for simulations of various magnetic properties of solids. Several applications to compute magnetic anisotropy energy, spin wave spectra, magnetic susceptibilities and temperature dependent…
In this paper we investigate some generic properties of a billiard system on a convex table. We show that generically, every hyperbolic periodic point admits some homoclinic orbit.
The degenerate Lagrangian system describing a lot of cosmological models is considered. When certain restrictions on the parameters of the model are imposed, the dynamics of the model near the "singularity" is reduced to a billiard on the…
We present scanning-probe images and magnetic-field plots which reveal fractal conductance fluctuations in a quantum billiard. The quantum billiard is drawn and tuned using erasable electrostatic lithography, where the scanning probe draws…
