Billiards in rectangles with barriers

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We use Ratner's theorem to compute the asymptotics of the number of (cylinders of) periodic trajectories in a rectangle with a barrier, assuming that the location p/q of the barrier is rational. We also show that as q tends to infinity, the constant in the asymptotic formula tends to the constant for the generic genus 2 flat surface.
