Abstract: In the present paper we introduce a new generating function for Outer billiards in the plane. Using this generating function we prove the following rigidity result: if the vicinity of the smooth convex plane curve $gamma$ of positive curvature is foliated by continuous curves which are invariant under Outer billiard map, then the curve $gamma$ must be an ellipse. In addition to the new generating function used in the proof, we also overcome the non-compactness of the phase space by finding suitable weights in the integral-geometric part of the proof. Thus we reduce the result to Blaschke-Santalo inequality.
