In the Newtonian 3-body problem, for any choice of the three masses, there are exactly three Euler configurations (also known as the three Euler points). In Helmholtz' problem of 3 point vortices in the plane, there are at most three…

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…
We introduce a circular restricted charged three-body problem on the plane. In this model, the gravitational and Coulomb forces, due to the primary bodies, act on a test particle; the net force exerted by some primary body on the test…
We study the Robe's restricted three-body problem. Such a motion was firstly studied by A. G. Robe in \cite{Robe}, which is used to model small oscillations of the earth's inner core taking into account the moon attraction. For the linear…

The static n-body problem of General Relativity states that there are, under a reasonable energy condition, no static $n$-body configurations for $n > 1$, provided the configuration of the bodies satisfies a suitable separation condition.…
