Around Birkhoff's conjecture for convex and other billiards
Birkhoff's conjecture states that the only integrable billiards in the plane
are ellipses. I am going to give a survey of recent progress in this conjecture and to discuss
geometric results and questions around it. No prior knowledge of the subject will be assumed.
