Ergodicity of billiards in polygons
Ya. B. Vorobets M. V. Lomonosov Moscow State University
Abstract:
In the space of all polygons, a topologically massive subset consisting of polygons with ergodic billiard flows is explicitly described. The elements of this set have a specified order of approximation by rational polygons. As intermediate results, constructive versions of the ergodic theorem for the billiard in a rational polygon and for the geodesic flow on a surface with flat structure, and also a constructive quadratic estimate for the growth of the number of saddle connections (singular trajectories) in a flat structure, are proved.
