Abstract:
Consider a convex domain on the plane and the associated
billiard inside. The length spectrum is the closure of the union of
perimeters of all period orbits. The length spectrum is closely
related to the Laplace spectrum, through the wave trace and
the well-known question: ``Can you hear the shape of a drum?''
A domain is called dynamically spectrally rigid if any smooth
deformation preserving the length spectrum is an isometry.
During the talk I will discuss recent results on dynamical
spectral rigidity of convex planar domains.
