We show that in all dimensions d>2, there exists an asymmetric convex body of revolution all of whose maximal hyperplane sections have the same volume. This gives the negative answer to the question posed by V. Klee in 1969.

We prove for a large class of n-body problems including a subclass of quasihomogeneous n-body problems, the classical n-body problem, the n-body problem in spaces of negative constant Gaussian curvature and a restricted case of the n-body…

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…

Examples are given of solutions of the planar N-body problem which remain the same for at least two systems of masses with the same sum and same center of mass. The least value of N achieved up to now with this property is 474, a number…

A classical theorem of Alon and Milman states that any $d$ dimensional centrally symmetric convex body has a projection of dimension $m\geq e^{c\sqrt{\ln{d}}}$ which is either close to the $m$-dimensional Euclidean ball or to the…

We consider the 3-body problem in 3-dimensional spaces of nonzero constant Gaussian curvature and study the relationship between the masses of the Lagrangian relative equilibria, which are orbits that form a rigidly rotating equilateral…

We investigate the motion of a massless body interacting with the Maxwell relative equilibrium, which consists of n bodies of equal mass at the vertices of a regular polygon that rotates around a central mass. The massless body has three…

We consider the motion of point masses given by a natural extension of Newtonian gravitation to spaces of constant positive curvature. Our goal is to explore the spectral stability of tetrahedral orbits of the corresponding 4-body problem…

Let $K\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a convex body, $n\geq 3$. We say that $K$ satisfies the Barker-Larman condition if there exists a ball $B$ in the interior of $K$ such that for every suppor hyperplane $\Pi$ of $B$, the section $\Pi \cap K$ is…
