For the Newtonian N-body problem, we study the Jacobi-Maupertuis metric of the nonnegative energy levels. We show that the geodesic rays are expansive, that is to say, all the distances between the bodies must be divergent functions. More…
We consider a restricted $(N+1)$-body problem, with $N \geq 3$ and homogeneous potentials of degree $-\a<0$, $\a \in [1,2)$. We prove the existence of infinitely many collision-free periodic solutions with negative and small Jacobi constant…
Consider the equal mass planar $4$-body problem with a potential corresponding to an inverse \textit{cube} force. The Jacobi-Maupertuis principle reparametrizes the dynamics as geodesics of a certain metric. We examine the curvature of this…

We solve the N-body problems in which the total potential energy is any function of the mass-weighted root-mean-square radius of the system of N point masses. The fundamental breathing mode of such systems vibrates non-linearly for ever. If…
This paper investigates the Newton's problem of minimal resistance for a body moving through a fluid whose density decreases exponentially with altitude. We prove the local existence and regularity of radial solutions $u(r)$ satisfying the…
In this paper, we focus on the set of geodesics rays of the Newtonian N-body problem. We find that the limits of geodesic rays are also geodesic rays, hence they are not dense in the space of initial conditions. As a result, there are many…
For the Newtonian \(N\)-body problem at nonnegative energy, we study solution sets selected by the Jacobi--Maupertuis variational principle and by the associated stationary Hamilton--Jacobi equation. We prove a compactness/stability theorem…

The Maupertuis principle allows us to regard classical trajectories as reparametrized geodesics of the Jacobi-Maupertuis (JM) metric on configuration space. We study this geodesic reformulation of the planar three-body problem with both…
We address the properties of extremal black holes by considering the Christodoulou-Ruffini/Hawking mass-energy formula. By simple geometrical arguments, we found that the mass/energy formula is satisfied by two meaningful extremal black…
A body moves in a medium composed of noninteracting point particles; interaction of particles with the body is absolutely elastic. It is required to find the body's shape minimizing or maximizing resistance of the medium to its motion. This…
