The characterization of star-shaped trajectories with rotation number two-fifths
The characterization of star-shaped trajectories with rotation number two-fifths
Let be the domain under consideration, and let be a triangle in . Write for its associated billiard map, for the rotation number, for the corresponding geometric quantity, and and for the two quantities associated with the pair . The conjecture. One has if and only if there exist with such that
or
The theorem cited in the source proves the sufficient condition, and the paper establishes the conjecture for a certain class of isosceles triangles; the necessity in general remains open.
