An Introduction to Polygonal Billiards

  • John Smillie (University of Warwick)
A3 01 (Sophus-Lie room)

Abstract

I will give an introduction to the study of the dynamics of polygonal billiards. This talk has no dynamical pre-requisites and it will include an introduction to the relevant ideas and history from the field of dynamical systems. Our objective is explain why it is useful to study dynamics on moduli spaces of abelian differentials.
