In this talk, I will present the meeting of different dynamical systems: tiling billiards, the wind-tree model and the Eaton lenses. The three of them are motivated by physics.
In the beginning of the 2000’s, physicists have conceived metamaterials with negative index of refraction. Tilling billiards’ trajectories consist of light rays moving in an arrangement of metamaterials with opposite index of refraction. The wind-tree model was introduced by Paul and Tatyana Ehrenfest to study a gaz: a particle is moving in a plane where obstacles are periodically placed, on which the particle bounces. The Eaton lenses are a periodic array of lenses in the plane, in which we consider a light ray that is reflected each time it crosses a lens.
After having introduced these dynamical systems, I will consider a mix of them: an arrangement of rectangles in the plane, like in the wind-tree model, but made of metamaterials, like for tiling billiards. I study the trajectories of light in this plane. They are refracted each time they cross a rectangle.
Using dynamics on half-translation surfaces and their moduli space, I show that these trajectories are trapped in a strip, for almost every parameter. This behavior is similar to the one of the Eaton lenses.

Geometric methods in computational complexity

Sur une variété projective une distribution holomorphe de codimension 1 est automatiquement intégrable dès qu’elle satisfait une certaine propriété numérique (pseudo-effectivité du conormal). Elle définit donc un feuilletage que nous nous proposons de décrire dans cet exposé.
