Аннотация
We consider the periodicity problem, that is, the existence of an aperiodic point andfullness of measure of the set of periodic points for outer billiards outside regular $n$-gons.The lattice cases$n=3,4,6$ are trivial: no aperiodic points exist and the set of periodic points is of full measure.The cases $n=5,10,8,12$ (and only these cases) are regarded as tame. The periodicityproblems were solved for $n=5$ in a breakthrough paper by Tabachnikov, who pioneered a renormalization-scheme method for studying the arising self-similar structures.The case $n=10$ is similar to $n=5$ and was studied earlier by the present author. The presentpaper is devoted to the remaining cases $n=8,12$. We establish the existence of an aperiodic orbitin outer billiards outside regular octagons and dodecagons and prove that almost all trajectoriesof these outer billiards are periodic. In the regular dodecagon case we give a rigorouscomputer-assisted proof. We establish equivalence between the outer billiards outsidea regular $n$-gon and a regular $n/2$-gon, where $n$ is even and $n/2$ is odd.Our investigation is based on Tabachnikov's renormalization scheme.
