چکیده
We formulate a general framework for the construction of hyperbolic billiards. Spherical symmetry is exploited for a simple treatment of billiards with spherical caps and soft billiards in higher dimensions. Other examples include the Papenbrock stadium.

Outer Billiards and Tilings of the Hyperbolic Plane
In this paper we present new results regarding the periodicity of outer billiards in the hyperbolic plane around polygonal tables which are tiles in regular two-piece tilings of the hyperbolic plane.
متن کاملHyperbolic Billiards and Statistical Physics
Mathematical theory of billiards is a fascinating subject providing a fertile source of new problems as well as conjecture testing in dynamics, geometry, mathematical physics and spectral theory. This survey is devoted to planar hyperbolic billiards with emphasis on their applications in statistical physics, where they provide many physically interesting and mathematically tractable models.
متن کاملOn the Bernoulli property of planar hyperbolic billiards
We consider billiards in bounded non-polygonal domains of R with piecewise smooth boundary. More precisely, we assume that the curves forming the boundary are straight lines or strictly convex inward curves (dispersing) or strictly convex outward curves of a special type (absolutely focusing). It follows from the work of Sinai, Bunimovich, Wojtkowski, Markarian and Donnay [S, Bu2, W2, M1, Do, B...
متن کاملHyperbolic Billiards on Surfaces of Constant Curvature
We establish sufficient conditions for the hyperbolicity of the billiard dynamics on surfaces of constant curvature. This extends known results for planar billiards. Using these conditions, we construct large classes of billiard tables with positive Lyapunov exponents on the sphere and on the hyperbolic plane.
متن کاملHyperbolic Magnetic Billiards on Surfaces of Constant Curvature
We consider classical billiards on surfaces of constant curvature, where the charged billiard ball is exposed to a homogeneous, stationary magnetic field perpendicular to the surface. We establish sufficient conditions for hyperbolicity of the billiard dynamics, and give lower estimation for the Lyapunov exponent. This extends our recent results for non-magnetic billiards on surfaces of constan...
