title: Triangle map: A model of quantum chaos
abstract: We study an area preserving parabolic map which emerges from the Poincare map of a billiard particle inside an elongated triangle. We provide numerical evidence that the motion is ergodic and mixing. Moreover, when considered on the cylinder, the motion appears to follow a Gaussian diffusive process.
