✦ Synopsis

Abstract

We show how the properties of the cosmological billiards provide useful information (spacetime dimension and p‐form spectrum) on the oxidation endpoint of the oxidation sequence of gravitational theories. We compare this approach to the other available methods: GL(n,R) subgroups and the superalgebras of dualities.

## Dedicated to Professor Curt Christian on the occasion of his 70th birthday AaS'ntACT. This article deals with (partly rather peculiar) properties of typical convex billiards. In particular, convex caustics, trajectories which terminate on the boundary and dense trajectories are investigated.
