A random configuration of semidispersing scatterers is placed in each copy. The ensemble of dynamical systems thus defined, one for each global choice of scatterers, is called `quenched random Lorentz tube'. We prove that, under general conditions, almost every system in the ensemble is recurrent.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2010-11-19T15:18:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37D50", "37A40", "60K37", "37B20", "05.45.-a", "02.10.Ab" ], "keywords": [ "quenched random lorentz tube", "recurrence", "global choice", "random configuration", "billiard dynamics" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Chaos", "year": 2010, "month": "Jun", "volume": 20, "number": 2, "pages": "023115" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 23, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010Chaos..20b3115C" } } }
