Abstract
AbstractWe show that certain billiard flows on planar billiard tables with horns can be modeled as suspension flows over Young towers (Ann. Math. 147:585–650, 1998) with exponential tails. This implies exponential decay of correlations for the billiard map. Because the height function of the suspension flow itself is polynomial when the horns are Torricelli-like trumpets, one can derive Limit Laws for the billiard flow, including Stable Limits if the parameter of the Torricelli trumpet is chosen in (1, 2).
