Birkhoff's conjecture on integrable billiards
Birkhoff's conjecture on integrable billiards
Let be a bounded convex domain whose boundary is a -smooth convex curve. Suppose that a neighborhood of is foliated by caustics. Birkhoff's conjecture. Then is an ellipse. Although this conjecture remains open, substantial work has established results under additional hypotheses and developed partial approaches to the characterization of elliptic billiards.
