This book covers one of the most exciting but most difficult topics in 
the modern theory of dynamical systems: chaotic billiards. In physics, 
billiard models describe various mechanical processes, molecular 
dynamics, and optical phenomena.

The theory of chaotic billiards has made remarkable progress in the past 
thirty-five years, but it remains notoriously difficult for the 
beginner, with main results scattered in hardly accessible research 
articles. This is the first and so far only book that covers all the 
fundamental facts about chaotic billiards in a complete and systematic 
manner. The book contains all the necessary definitions, full proofs of 
all the main theorems, and many examples and illustrations that help the 
reader to understand the material. Hundreds of carefully designed 
exercises allow the reader not only to become familiar with chaotic 
billiards but to master the subject.

The book addresses graduate students and young researchers in physics 
and mathematics. Prerequisites include standard graduate courses in 
measure theory, probability, Riemannian geometry, topology, and complex 
analysis. Some of this material is summarized in the appendices to the book.

Readership

physics, statistical mechanics, dynamical systems, and ergodic theory.
