Obstructions to the ergodicity of three falling balls
February 8, 2016
noon PHG 646
Abstract
Unfortunately, a proof for the ergodicity of three or more falling proof is
still missing. The problem is a geometric one, namely, a characteristic
tangent vector of a singularity manifold does not lie in the desired
contractive cone field. In this talk, we will be more concerned with
setting up the invariant cone field and in the end show why the
characteristic tangent vector is not contained in it.
