abstract

This work continues the study of tiling billiards, a class of dynamical system introduced by Davis et al. in 2018. We develop the study of generalized tiling billiards in a cyclic polygon. This work shows that the behavior of generalized tiling billiards in cyclic N-gons with N > 4 is considerably different from that of triangular and quadrilateral tiling billiards studied before. Indeed, we exhibit an open set of generalized tiling billiard trajectories deviating sublinearly from their asymptotic direction, whereas for N = 3 or 4 almost every trajectory stays at a bounded distance from a line. Moreover, we establish the rate of deviations both in the generic case and in some non generic cases.

Homology in Combinatorial Refraction Billiards

math.CO · 2025-02-09 · accept · novelty 8.0

A graph is expelling, sending every billiard loop around the torus non-contractibly, exactly when it is bipartite; ensnaring graphs have a partial structural theory.
