Abstract: In this paper we study the Birkhoff billiards inside cones in Rn. We prove that every trajectory inside a cone over a C3 strictly convex closed hypersurface embedded in Rn−1 with nondegenerate second fundamental form has a finite number of reflections. Using this result we prove that the billiard admits first integrals whose values uniquely determine all billiard trajectories.
