Weakly Mixing Polygonal Billiards

Jon Chaika,
Giovanni Forni

Abstract: We prove that there exists a G δ dense set of (nonrational) polygons such the billiard flow is weakly mixing with respect to the Liouville measure (on the unit tangent bundle to the billiard). This follows, via a Baire category argument, from showing that for any translation surface the product of the flows in almost every pair of directions is ergodic with respect to Lebesgue measure. This in turn is proven by showing that for every translation surface the flows in almost every pair of directions do not share… Show more

“…The strategy of the argument, based on the so-called freezing argument from [CF20], consists in deriving from the above Lipshitz property the existence of a proper SL(2, R)-invariant subbundle of P(H), thereby contradicting the strong irreducibility assumption. Recall that the function Ψ 1 is given by the formula (see formula (2.6.2))…”
