On three-periodic trajectories of multi-dimensional dual billiards

Serge Tabachnikov

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 3 (2003) 993–1004

arXiv: math.DS/0302254

Abstract

We consider the dual billiard map with respect to a smooth strictly convex closed hypersurface in linear 2m–dimensional symplectic space and prove that it has at least 2m distinct 3–periodic orbits.

Keywords
dual billiards, symplectic relation, periodic orbits, Morse, Lusternik–Schnirelman theory
