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 $N$ ($\ge2$) 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…

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…

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.

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…

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.

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…

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…

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…

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…

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 prove the following result, useful and often needed in the study of the ergodic properties of hard ball systems: In any such system, for any phase point x with a non-singular forward trajectory and infinitely many connected…

We prove here that in the Theorem on Local Ergodicity for Semi-Dispersive Billiards (proved by N. I. Chernov and Ya. G. Sinai in 1987) the condition of the so called ``Ansatz'' can be dropped. That condition assumed that almost every…

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 study the free boundary problem for the "hard phase" material introduced by Christodoulou, both for rods in (1+1)-dimensional Minkowski spacetime and for spherically symmetric balls in (3+1)-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. Unlike…
