We prove, under suitable non-resonance and non-degeneracy ``twist'' conditions, a Birkhoff-Lewis type result showing the existence of infinitely many periodic solutions, with larger and larger minimal period, accumulating onto elliptic…
This work provides, at lower order, general analytical solutions for the orbital separation, merging time, and orbital frequency of binary systems emitting gravitational waves while being submitted to mass variations. Specific features,…
A trajectory isomorphism between the two Newtonian fixed center problem in the sphere and two associated planar two fixed center problems is constructed by performing two simultaneous gnomonic projections in $S^2$. This isomorphism converts…
I review the elementary theory of gravitational waves on a Minkowski background and the quadrupole approximation. The modified conservation laws for energy and momentum keeping track of the gravitational-wave flux are presented. The theory…
In classical mechanics, the Kepler potential and the Harmonic potential share the following remarkable property: in either of these potentials, a bound test particle orbits with a radial period that is independent of its angular momentum.…
The secular evolution of a spinning, massive binary system in eccentric orbit is analyzed, expanding and generalizing our previous treatments of the Lense-Thirring motion and the one-spin limit. The spin-orbit and spin-spin effects up to…
We consider a $(1+N)$-body problem in which one particle has mass $m_0 \gg 1$ and the remaining $N$ have unitary mass. We can assume that the body with larger mass (central body) is at rest at the origin, coinciding with the center of mass…
We derive a simple analytical expression for the two-body force in a sub-class of MOND-like theories and make testable predictions in the modification to the two-body orbital period, shape, and precession rate, and escape speed etc. We…
The boundaries of the Uranian epsilon, alpha, and beta rings can be fitted by Keplerian ellipses. The pair of ellipses that outline a given ring share a common line of apsides. Apse alignment is surprising because the quadrupole moment of…
The constancy of orbital velocities of peripheral stars in a spiral galaxy points to a potential regime of co-rotation together with the interstellar densities of the galactic disk. The Einstein gyropotential rises to the evolutionary…
Rectified transport of active ellipsoidal particles is numerically investigated in a two-dimensional asymmetric potential. The out-of-equilibrium condition for the active particle is an intrinsic property, which can break thermodynamical…
We generalize the curved $N$-body problem to spheres and hyperbolic spheres whose curvature $\kappa$ varies in time. Unlike in the particular case when the curvature is constant, the equations of motion are non-autonomous. We first briefly…
The significant orbital eccentricities of most giant extrasolar planets may have their origin in the gravitational dynamics of initially unstable multiple planet systems. In this work, we explore the dynamics of two close planets on…
We present an illustrative application of the two famous mathematical theorems in differential topology in order to show the existence of periodic orbits with arbitrary given period for a class of hamiltonians .This result point out for a…
A widely considered characteristic of extra-solar planetary systems has been a seeming tendency for major axes of adjacent orbits to librate in stable configurations. Based on a new catalog of extra-solar planets (Butler et al. 2006) and…
In the context of two-dimensional spacetime within a helium atom, both 1s electrons are characterized by wave functions that observe duality equation. They are symmetric, orthogonal and interwoven, forming a dynamic rope structure at any…
We survey theoretical and experimental/observational results on general-relativistic spin (rotation) effects in binary systems. A detailed discussion is given of the two-body Kepler problem and its first post-Newtonian generalization,…
Second order Newton equations of motion for a radiating particle are presented. It is argued that the trajectories obeying them also satisfy the Abraham-Lorentz-Dirac (ALD) equations for general 3D motions in the non-relativistic and…
We present a slowly rotating black hole with phantom global monopole by solving Einstein's field equation and find that presence of global monopole changes the structure of black hole. The metric coefficient $g_{t\phi}$ contains…
As the velocity of a rocket in a circular orbit near a black hole increases, the outwardly directed rocket thrust must increase to keep the rocket in its orbit. This feature might appear paradoxical from a Newtonian viewpoint, but we show…
