[Insalate Di Matematica]

Dear all,

We remind you *today*'s appointment of the series of seminars "Insalate di
Matematica".
Here are the details:

*Speaker*: *Alessandra Nardi* (Università degli Studi di Padova)

*Date and time*: *26th of March 2025, 4:30 pm (CET)*

*Title*: "Let's play symplectic billiard!"

*Abstract*: A mathematical billiard is a dynamical system describing the
motion of a mass point (the billiard ball) inside a planar region (the
billiard table) with –in general– piecewise smooth boundary. The ball moves
with constant speed and without friction, following a rectilinear path. The
straightforwardness and versatility of this model have made mathematical
billiards an object of interest in many different contexts. Indeed,
depending on the shape of the billiard table, they show a wide range of
dynamical behaviors such as integrability, regularity, and chaoticity.
Integrability remains nowadays an unanswered property and the celebrated
Birkhoff conjecture is still open. In 2018, P.Albers and S. Tabachnikov
introduced a new interesting class of billiards, called symplectic
billiards, as a natural variation of Birkhoff billiards with the inner area
–instead of the length– as generating function. In this talk, we will
present the symplectic billiards dynamics and focus on the recent
integrability results.

Talk based on a joint work with L. Baracco and O. Bernardi.

*Keywords:* Mathematical billiards, Integrability

*Information to attend in room 3014*
The seminar will take place in room 3014, at the building U5-Ratio,
Università degli Studi di Milano Bicocca.
