Title: Convex billiards on convex spheres
Speaker: Pengfei Zhang
Speaker Info: University of Mississippi
Brief Description:
Special Note:
Abstract:

In this talk we will discuss some generic properties of the billiard system defined on a convex subset on a convex sphere. We will show that C^\infty generically, every periodic point is nondegenerate, and every hyperbolic periodic point admits some transverse homoclinic intersection.
