We also see a significant promise in techniques that we are developing for hyperbolic systems and for nonperturbative settings for billiards. For example, we have a strong belief that we can prove spectral rigidity for generic axis-symmetric billiards using combination of KAM and analysis of polygonal periodic orbits approach.

In 1 we proved that the marked length spectrum determines Z2 x Z2 symmetric collection of
three analytic obstacles. A new recovery method was developed.
In 2 we analysed an old question of Guillemin asking if knowledge that two billiard maps are
conjugate we can conclude that the billiard tables are homothetic. We made partial progress
on this old question.
In 3 Koval made an important progress on Birkhoff Conjecture, where integrability is imposed
only near the boundary. The result says that under this mild integrability condition a domain
must be an ellipse.
In 4 combining techniques of Bialy-Mironov of nonstandard generating functions and
Kaloshin-Sorrentino of rational iso-integrability condition we proved that any domain close
to a centrally symmetric domain with integrable billiard is an ellipse.
In 5 we have prepared an expensive set of lecture notes about recent progress on planar
billiards.
In 6 Otto made considerable progress on recovering analytic obstacles from the marked
length spectrum.
In 7 Henheik made progress on proving that an integrable deformation of the integrable
Liouville metric is a Liouville metric.
In 8 authors made progress on showing that the singular support of the wave trace is not
equal to the length spectrum.
In 9 Fierobe studied pseudo-caustics for Riemannian, pseudo-Euclidean and projective
billiards.
In 10 Koval showed that very often if a period two billiard orbit has analytic Birkhoff Normal
form, then the table is not analytic, but only Gerver.
In 11 Drach-Kaloshin proved that for expanding circle maps satisfying sparsity condition we
have rigidity in the form that nearby expanding circle maps are smoothly conjugate.
