Abstract

Markov partitions designed by Sinai (Funct Anal Appl 2:245–253, 1968) and Bowen (Am J Math 92:725–747, 1970) proved to be an efficient tool for describing statistical properties of uniformly hyperbolic systems. For hyperbolic systems with singularities, in particular for hyperbolic billiards the construction of a Markov partition by Bunimovich and Sinai (Commun Math Phys 78:247–280, 1980) was a delicate and hard task. Therefore later more and more flexible and simple variants of Markov partitions appeared: Markov sieves (Bunimovich–Chernov–Sinai, Russ Math Surv 45(3):105–152, 1990), Markov towers (Young, Ann Math (2) 147(3):585–650, 1998), standard pairs (Dolgopyat). This remarkable evolution of Sinai’s original idea is surveyed in this paper.

Actually the Lorentz gas suggested by H. A. Lorentz in [50] is also a billiard in a space with infinite invariant measure, cf. Sect. 3 below.
