چکیده
I describe work in progress with Baryshnikov and Zharnitsky on periodic billiard orbits that leads one to an exterior differential system (EDS). I then give a brief introduction to EDS illustrated by several examples.

متن کاملChaotic n-Dimensional Euclidean and Hyperbolic Open Billiards and Chaotic Spinning Planar Billiards
We propose a new method to handle the n-dimensional billiard problem in the exterior of a finite mutually disjoint union of convex (but not necessarily strictly convex) smooth obstacles without eclipse in the Euclidean or hyperbolic n-space, and we prove that there exist trajectories visiting the obstacles in any given doubly infinite prescribed order (with the obvious restriction of no consecu...
متن کاملCan billiard eigenstates be approximated by superpositions of plane waves ?
The plane wave decomposition method (PWDM) is one of the most popular strategies for numerical solution of the quantum billiard problem. The method is based on the assumption that each eigenstate in a billiard can be approximated by a superposition of plane waves at a given energy. By the classical results on the theory of differential operators this can indeed be justified for billiards in con...

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:...
متن کاملSpectral cross correlations of magnetic edge states.
We observe strong, nontrivial cross correlations between the edge states found in the interior and the exterior of magnetic quantum billiards. Our analysis is based on a novel definition of the edge state spectral density which is rigorous, practical, and semiclassically accessible.
