Research Announcement: Unbounded Orbits for Outer Billiards
نویسنده
چکیده
In [S] we proved that the outer billiards system defined on the Penrose kite has an unbounded orbit. In this article we will sketch some of the main ideas in the proof, and describe in detail a very convincing computer demonstration of our result.

Unbounded Orbits in the Plaid Model
This is a sequel to [S0]. In this paper I prove that the plaid model has unbounded orbits at all irrational parameters. This result is closely related to my result [S1] that outer billiards has unbounded orbits with respect to any irrational kite.

1 Preface Outer billiards is a basic dynamical system defined relative to a convex shape in the plane. B.H. Neumann introduced outer billiards in the 1950s, and J. Moser popularized outer billiards in the 1970s as a toy model for celestial mechanics. Outer billiards is an appealing dynamical system because of its simplicity and also because of its connection to such topics as interval exchange ...

1 Billiards and related systems 1.1 Polygonal outer billiards in the hyperbolic plane The outer billiard about a convex polygon P in the plane R 2 is a piece-wise isometry, T , of the exterior of P defined as follows: given a point x outside of P , find the support line to P through x having P on the left, and define T (x) to be the reflection of x in the support vertex. See [10, 35]. Figure 1:...
