Abstract

We show that there exists a C2 open dense set of convex bodies with smooth boundary whose billiard map exhibits a non -trivial hyperbolic basic set. As a consequence billiards in generic convex bodies have positive topological entropy and exponential growth of the number of periodic orbits. (c) 2024 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Inc.
