Jorge Milhazes Freitas's Annual Report
Year:
Brief description of the research activities:
We studied the extremal behaviour of billiards proving the convergence of Rare Events Point Processes to the Poisson Process for billiard systems with both exponential and polynomial decay of correlations. We also studied the rates of convergence to the asymptotic extremal limiting distribution obtaining a connection with escape rates for open systems.
