Recurrence properties of Lorenz process.

Abstract. Lorentz process is one of the simplest Hamiltonian system with infinite measure. It is well known that ergodic properties of infinite measure preserving transformation are closely related to recurrence properties of the system. In this talk we discuss the recurrence proprties of Lorentz process and present several applications to systems which locally look like a Lorentz process.
