Dynamics & Analysis · 5 problems
Open problems in Dynamics & Analysis
Every Dynamics & Analysis problem in the Math Lab index — 5 in all. Each carries a precise statement, an honest status (open means open), and a concrete plan for throwing compute or tokens at it.
Berry–Tabor conjectureDynamics & Analysisuntouched
The energy-level spacings of a generic quantized integrable system follow Poisson statistics — in contrast to random-matrix statistics for chaotic systems.
Birkhoff conjecture on integrable billiardsDynamics & Analysisuntouched
If the billiard dynamics inside a smooth convex curve is integrable (foliated by caustics), the curve must be an ellipse.
Outer billiards unboundednessDynamics & Analysisuntouched
For which convex shapes does the outer (dual) billiard map admit unbounded orbits? Moser asked whether orbits can escape to infinity at all.
