Tiling billiards

Talk by Prof. Dr. Pascal Hubert

Speaker invited by: Prof. Dr. Corinna Ulcigrai

Date: 08.04.19  Time: 13.15 - 14.15  Room: ETH HG G 43

In this joint work with Olga Romaskevich, I will discuss tiling billiards, a family of dynamical systems introduced by Diana Davis and her students. I will reduce this problem to the study of some interval exchange transformations with flips (or flows on non orientable surfaces). I will study these systems in low complexity and address open questions about the dynamics of interval exchange transformations with flips.
