We show that a hypersurface of the regularized, spatial circular restricted three-body problem is of contact type whenever the energy level is below the first critical value (the energy level of the first Lagrange point) or if the energy…
We study the contact geometry of the connected components of the energy hypersurface, in the symmetric restricted 3-body problem on $\mathbb{S}^2$, for a specific type of motion of the primaries. In particular, we show that these components…
The restricted planar three-body problem has a rich history, yet many unanswered questions still remain. In the present paper we prove the existence of a global surface of section near the smaller body in a new range of energies and mass…
We characterize which closed Reeb orbits of a dynamically convex contact form on the 3-sphere bound disk-like global surfaces of section for the Reeb flow, without any genericity assumptions. We show that these global surfaces of section…
We study Reeb dynamics on the three-sphere equipped with a tight contact form and an anti-contact involution. We prove the existence of a symmetric periodic orbit and provide necessary and sufficient conditions for it to bound an invariant…
We show that the planar circular restricted three body problem is of restricted contact type for all energies below the first critical value (action of the first Lagrange point) and for energies slightly above it. This opens up the…
In this note, we prove that below the first critical energy level, a proper combination of the Ligon-Schaaf and Levi-Civita regularization mappings provides a convex symplectic embedding of the energy surfaces of the planar rotating Kepler…
In this paper, we study the planar circular restricted three-body problem for energy levels slightly above the first critical value. We first observe that the energy hypersurfaces in the Birkhoff regularization corresponding to these energy…
We study the spatial isosceles three-body problem from the perspective of Symplectic Dynamics. For certain choices of mass ratio, angular momentum, and energy, the dynamics on the energy surface is equivalent to a Reeb flow on the tight…
We study the spatial isosceles three body problem, which is a system with two degrees of freedom after modulo the rotation symmetry. For certain choices of energy and angular momentum, we find some disk-like global surfaces of section with…
This article concerns a natural generalization of the classical asymptotic Plateau problem in hyperbolic space. We prove the existence of a smooth complete hypersurface of constant scalar curvature with a prescribed asymptotic boundary at…
We study dynamical constraints arising from Embedded Contact Homology (ECH) in the spatial isosceles three-body problem. For energies below the critical level, the dynamics on the energy surface is identified with a Reeb flow on the tight…
In this work, we prove that a generic unfolding of an analytic Hamiltonian Hopf singularity (in an open set with codimension 1 boundary) possesses transverse homoclinic orbits for subcritical values of the parameter close to the bifurcation…
In this paper we propose a computational approach to proving the Birkhoff conjecture on the restricted three-body problem, which asserts the existence of a disk-like global surface of section. Birkhoff had conjectured this surface of…
The spatial Kepler problem with a perturbation satisfying the rotational symmetry w.r.t. the $z$-axis and the reflection symmetry w.r.t. the $(x, y)$-plane, can be reduced to an Hamiltonian system with 2 degrees of freedom after fixing the…
Using the wrapped Floer homology, we prove the existence of consecutive collisions at the primaries in the circular restricted three-body problem. We also prove the existence of a symmetric periodic orbit. These existence results are…
In this article, we extend the methods from arXiv:2011.06568, where the five dimensional analogue of the three dimensional finite energy foliations introduced by Hofer--Wysocki--Zehnder was identified, to the case where there the underlying…
We establish a general criterion for the existence of finite energy foliations on contact three-manifolds with boundary, imposing strong global constraints on the associated Reeb flows. Our main abstract result shows that a configuration of…
In this paper, we consider a time-periodically forced Kepler problem in any dimensions, with an external force which we only assume to be regular in a neighborhood of the attractive center. We prove that there exist infinitely many periodic…
Consider a symplectic surface in a three-dimensional contact manifold with boundary on Reeb orbits (periodic orbits of the Reeb vector field). We assume that the rotation numbers of the boundary Reeb orbits satisfy a certain inequality, and…
