How high-dimensional stadia look like (Q1290514)

Billiards with chaotic behavior are well known -- Lorentz gases and hard ball gases being two classical models. In most of those examples the boundary of the configuration space is concave inward. Such billiards are said to be dispersing or semidispersing. L.~Bunimovich found examples (celebrated stadia) of convex domain on a plane where the billiards are chaotic, too. But \(n\)-dimensional stadia happened to be very hard to construct. In this paper, first examples of multidimensional domain with convex (focusing) components of the boundary are produced, where the billiards are chaotic.
