The statement was further refined by Gromov, producing what is now known as the Yomdin–Gromov algebraic lemma. Several complete proofs based on Gromov’s sketch have appeared in the literature, but these have been considerably more complicated than Gromov’s original presentation due to some technical issues. In this note, we give a proof that closely follows Gromov’s original presentation. We prove a somewhat stronger statement, where the parametrizing maps are guaranteed to be <i>cellular</i>. It turns out that this additional restriction, along with some elementary lemmas on differentiable functions in o-minimal structures, allows the induction to be carried out without technical difficulties.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":37546,"journal":{"name":"Arnold Mathematical Journal","volume":"7 3","pages":"419 - 430"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1007/s40598-021-00176-w","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46197927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Of particular interest are the dispersing billiards, where <i>D</i> consists of a union of finitely many open convex regions. These billiard flows are known to be ergodic and to possess the <i>K</i>-property. However, Turaev and Rom-Kedar proved that for dispersing systems permitting singular periodic orbits, there exists a family of smooth Hamiltonian flows with regions of stability near such orbits, converging to the billiard flow. They conjecture that systems possessing such singular periodic orbits are dense in the space of all dispersing billiard systems and remark that if this conjecture is true then every dispersing billiard system is arbitrarily close to a non-ergodic smooth Hamiltonian flow with regions of stability [6]. We present a partial solution to this conjecture by showing that any system with a near-singular periodic orbit satisfying certain conditions can be perturbed to a system that permits a singular periodic orbit. We comment on the assumptions of our theorem that must be removed to prove the conjecture of Turaev and Rom-Kedar.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":37546,"journal":{"name":"Arnold Mathematical Journal","volume":"7 3","pages":"387 - 406"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1007/s40598-020-00173-5","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47673944","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
