For one 3-body and two 5-body planar choreographies on the same algebraic Lemniscate by Bernoulli we found explicitly a maximal possible set of (particular) Liouville integrals, 7 and 15, respectively, (including the total angular…
We show that choreographic three bodies {x(t), x(t+T/3), x(t-T/3)} of period T on the lemniscate, x(t) = (x-hat+y-hat cn(t))sn(t)/(1+cn^2(t)) parameterized by the Jacobi's elliptic functions sn and cn with modulus k^2 = (2+sqrt{3})/4,…

In this paper, as a continuation of [Fernandez-Guasti, \textit{Celest Mech Dyn Astron} 137, 4 (2025)], we demonstrate the maximal superintegrability of the reduced Hamiltonian, which governs the four-body choreographic planar motion along…
We report on figure-eight choreographic solutions to a system of three identical particles interacting through a potential of Lennard-Jones type, $1/r^{12}-1/r^6$ where $r$ is a distance between the particles. By numerical search, we found…
We revisit the three-body problem in the framework of general relativity. The Newtonian N-body problem admits choreographic solutions, where a solution is called choreographic if every massive particles move periodically in a single closed…
In the $N$-body problem, a simple choreography is a periodic solution, where all masses chase each other on a single loop. In this paper we prove that for the planar Newtonian $N$-body problem with equal masses, $N \ge 3$, there are at…
In the figure-eight choreography in the classical three-body problem, both-side bifurcation solutions sometimes fold on one side of the bifurcation point with cusp of action. Three numerical examples of a such fold for figure-eight…
We consider an $N$--body problem under a harmonic potential of the form $\frac{1}{2}\sum \kappa_{jl} |q_j-q_l|^2$. A $p$-lima\c{c}on curve is a planar curve parametrized by $t$ given by $a(\cos t,\sin t)+b(\cos pt, \sin pt)$, where $a,b\in…
We try to prove the existence of choreography solutions for the $n-$body problem on $S^2$. For the three-body problem, we show the existence of the 8-shape orbit on $S^2$.
As shown by Johannes Kepler in 1609, in the two-body problem, the shape of the orbit, a given ellipse, and a given non-vanishing constant angular momentum determines the motion of the planet completely. Even in the three-body problem, in…
For the three body problem with equal masses, we prove that the most symmetric continuation class of Lagrange's equilateral triangle solution, also referred to as the $P_{12}$ family of Marchal, contains the remarkable figure eight…
We investigate three-body motion in three dimensions under the interaction potential proportional to r^alpha (alpha \neq 0) or log r, where r represents the mutual distance between bodies, with the following conditions: (I) the moment of…
In this work we study 2- and 3-body oscillators with quadratic and sextic pairwise potentials which depend on relative distances, $|{\bf r}_i - {\bf r}_j |$, between particles. The two-body harmonic oscillator is two-parametric and can be…

We analyze planar $n$-body Hamiltonian systems with quadratic $D_n$-invariant interactions and identify the symmetry obstruction to choreographic motion. Choreographies are taken throughout to be collision-free solutions of the equations of…
In 1999 Chenciner and Montgomery found a remarkably simple choreographic motion for the planar 3-body problem (see \cite{CM}). In this solution 3 equal masses travel on a eight shaped planar curve; this orbit is obtained minimizing the…
Consider the planar 3 Body Problem with masses $m_0,m_1,m_2>0$. In this paper we address two fundamental questions: the existence of oscillatory motions and of chaotic hyperbolic sets. In 1922, Chazy classified the possible final motions of…
After the existence proof of the first remarkably stable simple choreographic motion-- the figure eight of the planar three-body problem by Chenciner and Montgomery in 2000, a great number of simple choreographic solutions have been…
The bifurcation of figure-eight choreography is analyzed by its symmetry group based on the variational principle of the action. The irreducible representations determine the symmetry and the dimension of the Lyapunov-Schmidt reduced…
