We show that for such billiard flows the standard symplectic form satisfies a specific non-degeneracy condition over the non-wandering set. This allows to use some previous general results and obtain Dolgopyat type estimates for spectra of Ruelle transfer operators under simpler conditions. We also describe a class of open billiard flows in Euclidean spaces satisfying a certain pinching condition, which in turn implies that the (un)stable laminations over the non-wandering set are C^1.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v4", "updated": "2010-10-28T08:03:12.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37Dxx", "35Pxx" ], "keywords": [ "dolgopyat type estimates", "pinched open billiard flows", "non-wandering set", "euclidean spaces", "standard symplectic form satisfies" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0911.5000S" } } }
