On Sinaĭ Billiards on Flat Surfaces with Horns

We show that certain billiard flows on planar billiard tables with horns can be modeled as suspension flows over Young towers (Ann. Math. 147:585–650, 1998) with exponential tails. This implies exponential decay of correlations for the billiard map. Because the height function of the suspension flow itself is polynomial when the horns are Torricelli-like trumpets, one can derive Limit Laws for the billiard flow, including Stable Limits if the parameter of the Torricelli trumpet is chosen in (1, 2).

Quantum chaos inside space-temporal Sinai billiards

We discuss general aspects of non-relativistic quantum chaos theory of scattering of a quantum particle on a system of a large number of naked singularities. We define such a system space-temporal Sinai billiard. We discuss the problem in semiclassical approach. We show that in semiclassical regime the formation of trapped periodic semiclassical orbits inside the system is unavoidable. This leads to general expression of survival probabilities and scattering time delays, expanded to the chaotic Pollicott–Ruelle resonances. Finally, we comment on possible generalizations of these aspects to relativistic quantum field theory.
