Convergence conjecture for nonresonant billiard normal forms
Convergence conjecture for nonresonant billiard normal forms
Let be the horizontal Euclidean space, let be reflection in the horizontal hyperplane, and let be the quotient billiard map with fixed point . Suppose its symplectic linearization at has eigenvalues , where the set is nonresonant, meaning that
for every nonzero .
Convergence conjecture. If the eigenvalues additionally satisfy good Diophantine properties, then the formal Taylor series defining the function is locally convergent. The formal Taylor series defining the local conjugacy between and its linearization is likewise locally convergent.
The question concerns analytic linearization of a locally integrable multidimensional billiard near a symmetric period-two orbit. The paper proves formal existence in the nonresonant case, while convergence under suitable Diophantine conditions is motivated by numerical evidence and remains open.
