Abstract

We introduce billiards in polygons with an infinite number of sides. We show that for almost every point the billiard flow in an infinite polygon is defined for all times and the Poincaré recurrence theorem holds. Our main results are that ergodic infinite polygons are typical among all infinite polygons and rational infinite polygons with ergodic directional flows are typical among all rational infinite polygons.
