Commuting Dual Billiard Maps

چکیده
Abstract. To a closed convex smooth curve in the plane the dual billiard transformation of its exterior corresponds: given a point outside of the curve, draw a tangent line to it through the point, and reflect the point in the point of tangency. We prove that if two curves are given, such that the corresponding dual billiard transformations commute, then the curves are concentric hornothetic ellipses.

متن کاملA baker’s dozen of problems
Given a convex plane domain, the billiard ball map sends the incoming ray (the trajectory of the billiard ball) to the outgoing one: the law of reflection is “the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection”. Consider two nested convex domains. Then one has two billiard ball maps, T1 and T2, acting on the oriented lines that intersect both domains. If the domains are bounded by confocal e...

متن کاملAdditive maps on C$^*$-algebras commuting with $|.|^k$ on normal elements
Let $mathcal {A} $ and $mathcal {B} $ be C$^*$-algebras. Assume that $mathcal {A}$ is of real rank zero and unital with unit $I$ and $k>0$ is a real number. It is shown that if $Phi:mathcal{A} tomathcal{B}$ is an additive map preserving $|cdot|^k$ for all normal elements; that is, $Phi(|A|^k)=|Phi(A)|^k $ for all normal elements $Ainmathcal A$, $Phi(I)$ is a projection, and there exists a posit...
متن کاملOn Polygonal Dual Billiard in the Hyperbolic Plane
Given a compact convex plane domain P , one defines the dual billiard transformation F of its exterior as follows. Let x be a point outside of P . There are two support lines to P through x; choose one of them, say, the right one from x’s view-point, and define F (x) to be the reflection of x in the support point. This definition applies if the support point is unique; otherwise F (x) is not de...
