One of the oldest problems in physics is that of calculating the motion of $N$ particles under a specified mutual force: the $N$-body problem. Much is known about this problem if the specified force is non-relativistic gravity, and…

The intimate relations between Einstein's equation, conformal geometry, geometric asymptotics, and the idea of an isolated system in general relativity have been pointed out by Penrose many years ago. A detailed analysis of the interplay of…

We study an exact solution of Einstein's equations describing a self-gravitating system, made of dust, distributed with axial symmetry and in stationary rotation, and we prove that this type of system has no Newtonian analogue. In a…

We study singularities of the n-body problem in spaces of constant curvature and generalize certain results due to Painleve, Weierstrass, and Sundman. For positive curvature, some of our proofs use the correspondence between total collision…

In this paper, we first describe how we can arrange any bodies on Figure-Eight without collision in a dense subset of $[0,T]$ after showing that the self-intersections of Figure-Eight will not happen in this subset. Then it is reasonable…
