On the finite blocking property

Thierry Monteil (2005)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

A planar polygonal billiard 𝒫 is said to have the finite blocking property if for every pair ( O , A ) of points in 𝒫 there exists a finite number of “blocking” points B 1 , , B n such that every billiard trajectory from O to A meets one of the B i ’s. Generalizing our construction of a counter-example to a theorem of Hiemer and Snurnikov, we show that the only regular polygons that have the finite blocking property are the square, the equilateral triangle and the hexagon. Then we extend this result to translation surfaces....

On the index theorem for symplectic orbifolds

Boris Fedosov, Bert-Wolfang Schulze, Nikolai Tarkhanov (2004)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We give an explicit construction of the trace on the algebra of quantum observables on a symplectiv orbifold and propose an index formula.
