Marco Lenci Aperiodic Lorentz gas: recurrence and ergodicity (87K, LaTeX 2e with 3 eps figures) ABSTRACT. We prove that any generic (i.e., possibly aperiodic) Lorenz gas in two dimensions, with finite horizon and non-degenerate geometrical features, is ergodic if it is recurrent. We also give examples of aperiodic recurrent gases.
