We prove that, for generic (open and dense) values of the masses, the Newtonian potential function of the collinear N-body problem has $N!/2$ critical values when restricted to a fixed inertia level. In particular, we prove that for generic…

We propose an alternative solution to a quantum-mechanical four-particle system in one dimension with two- and three-particle interactions. The solution of the eigenvalue equation in center-of-mass and Jacobi coordinates is considerably…

We discusse a relativistic Hamiltonian for an n-body problem in which all the masses are equal and all spins take value 1/2. In the frame of reference in which the total momentum $\v{P}=0$, the Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation is applies and…

By introducing simple topological constraints and applying a binary decomposition method, we show the existence of a set of prograde double-double orbits for any rotation angle $\theta \in (0, \pi/7]$ in the equal-mass four-body problem. A…

We consider the N-body problem in (1+1) dimensional lineal gravity. For 2 point masses (N=2) we obtain an exact solution for the relativistic motion. In the equal mass case we obtain an explicit expression for their proper separation as a…

The Busemann-Petty problem asks whether origin-symmetric convex bodies in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with smaller central hyperplane sections necessarily have smaller $n$-dimensional volume. It is known that the answer is affirmative if $n\le 4$ and…

The purpose of this article is to demonstrate that non-crystallographic reflection groups can be used to build new solvable quantum particle systems. We explicitly construct a one-parametric family of solvable four-body systems on a line,…

Analytical methods are used to prove the existence of a periodic, symmetric solution with singularities in the planar 4-body problem. A numerical calculation and simulation are used to generate the orbit. The analytical method easily…

A solution of the n-body problem in R^d is a relative equilibrium if all of the mutual distance between the bodies are constant. In other words, the bodies undergo a rigid motion. Here we investigate the possibility of partially rigid…
