Polygonal homographic orbits in spaces of constant curvature

Dynamical Systems 2011-08-23 v2

Abstract

We prove that the geometry of the 2-dimensional nn-body problem for spaces of constant curvature κ0\kappa\neq 0, n3n\geq 3, does not allow for polygonal homographic solutions, provided that the corresponding orbits are irregular polygons of non-constant size.
