Relative Periodic Orbits in the Spatial Anisotropic Kepler Problem

Dynamical Systems 2026-07-03 v1

Abstract

The spatial anisotropic Kepler problem comes from quantum mechanics, which models electron motion in semiconductors with donor impurities and depends on the anisotropic parameter β(1,+)\beta\in(-1,+\infty). After reducing the system modulo rotational symmetry, we investigate periodic orbits in this two-degree-of-freedom setting. Combining an index comparison in \cite{HLOQS26}, the volume formula in \cite{CHHL23} and Franks' theorem, we prove that the system possesses infinitely many periodic orbits on any fixed compact and regular energy surface for β(1,0]\beta\in(-1,0].
