High-order persistence of resonant caustics in perturbed circular billiards

We find necessary and sufficient conditions for high-order persistence of resonant caustics in perturbed circular billiards. The main tool is a perturbation theory based on the Bialy–Mironov generating function for convex billiards. All resonant caustics with period q persist up to order ceil(q/n)-1...

Sumario:We find necessary and sufficient conditions for high-order persistence of resonant caustics in perturbed circular billiards. The main tool is a perturbation theory based on the Bialy–Mironov generating function for convex billiards. All resonant caustics with period q persist up to order ceil(q/n)-1 under any polynomial deformation of the circle of degree n.
