Abstract
Limit Lyapunov spectrum in the system of falling balls

We consider the system of falling balls,
which is known to be completely hyperbolic
for any number of degrees of freedom.
We calculate the Lyapunov spectrum of the shortest
periodic orbit in the limit of infinite dimension.
This limit represents interaction of a gas with a
macroscopic object (the floor).
