Decay of correlations, Lyapunov exponents and anomalous diffusion in the Sinai billiard

چکیده
We compute the decay of the velocity autocorrelation function, the Lyapunov exponent and the diffusion constant for the Sinai billiard within the framework of dynamical zeta functions. The asymptotic decay of the velocity autocorrelation function is found to be C(t) ∼ c(R)/t. The Lyapunov exponent for the corresponding map agrees with the conjectured limit λmap → −2 log(R) + C as R → 0 where C = 1− 4 log 2+ 27/(2π) · ζ(3). The diffusion constant of the associated Lorentz gas is found to be divergent D(t) ∼ log t.

We review the status of the semiclassical trace formula with emphasis on the particular types of singularities that occur in the Gutzwiller-Voros zeta function for bound chaotic systems. To understand the problem better we extend the discussion to include various classical zeta functions and we contrast properties of axiom-A scattering systems with those of typical bound systems. Singularities ...
متن کاملEntropy, Lyapunov exponents and mean free path for billiards
We review known results and derive some new ones about the mean free path, Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy and Lyapunov exponents for billiard type dynamical systems. We focus on exact and asymptotic formulas for these quantities. The dynamical systems covered in the paper include periodic Lorentz gas, stadium and its modifications, and the gas of hard balls. Some open questions and numerical observat...
متن کاملDispersing billiards with cusps: slow decay of correlations
Dispersing billiards introduced by Sinai are uniformly hyperbolic and have strong statistical properties (exponential decay of correlations and various limit theorems). However, if the billiard table has cusps (corner points with zero interior angles), then its hyperbolicity is nonuniform and statistical properties deteriorate. Until now only heuristic and experiments results existed predicting...
متن کاملLyapunov exponents and anomalous diffusion of a Lorentz gas with infinite horizon using approximate zeta functions
We compute the Lyapunov exponent, generalized Lyapunov exponents and the diffusion constant for a Lorentz gas on a square lattice, thus having infinite horizon. Approximate zeta functions, written in terms of probabilities rather than periodic orbits, are used in order to avoid the convergence problems of cycle expansions. The emphasis is on the relation between the analytic structure of the ze...
متن کاملThe Lyapunov exponent in the Sinai billiard in the small scatterer limit
We show that Lyapunov exponent for the Sinai billiard is λ = −2 log(R)+ C + O(R log R) with C = 1 − 4 log 2 + 27/(2π) · ζ(3) where R is the radius of the circular scatterer. We consider the disk-to-disk-map of the standard configuration where the disks is centered inside a unit square.
