Various many-body models are treated, which describe $N$ points confined to move on a plane circle. Their Newtonian equations of motion ("accelerations equal forces") are integrable, i. e. they allow the explicit exhibition of $N$ constants…
We show that if a holomorphic Hamiltonian system is holomorphically integrable in the non-commutative sense in a neighbourhood of a non-equilibrium phase curve which is located at a regular level of the first integrals, then the identity…
The problem of nonintegrability of the circular restricted three-body problem is very classical and important in dynamical systems. In the first volume of his masterpieces, Henri Poincar\'e showed the nonexistence of a real-analytic first…
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.…
We consider classical N-particle system with arbitrary central pair potential. Mechanical equilibrium condition in spherically-symmetric case leads to a nonlinear integro-differential equation for concentration n(r). For special state…
We outline a new method suggested by Conway (2016) for solving the two-body problem for solid bodies of spheroidal or ellipsoidal shape. The method is based on integrating the gravitational potential of one body over the surface of the…
We prove that if the masses of the $n$-body problem of celestial mechanics are given, the number of classes of relative equilibria that solve the $n$-body problem is finite.
In this note we approach the classical, Newtonian, gravitational $N$-body problem by mean of a new, original numerical integration method. After a short summary of the fundamental characteristics of the problem, including a sketch of some…
We demonstrate how to separate the rotational degrees of freedom in a quantum N-body problem completely from the internal ones. It is shown that any common eigenfunction of the total orbital angular momentum ($\ell$) and the parity in the…
We investigate the Liouvillian integrability of Hamiltonian systems describing a universe filled with a scalar field (possibly complex). The tool used is the differential Galois group approach, as introduced by Morales-Ruiz and Ramis. The…
The aim of this article is to provide a method to prove the irreducibility of non-linear ordinary differential equations by means of the differential Galois group of their variational equations along algebraic solutions. We show that if the…
Consider n=2l>=4 point particles with equal masses in space, subject to the following symmetry constraint: at each instant they form an orbit of the dihedral group D_l, where D_l is the group of order 2l generated by two rotations of angle…
Consider the spatial Newtonian three body problem at fixed negative energy and fixed angular momentum. The moment of inertia $I$ provides a measure of the overall size of a three-body system. We will prove that there is a positive number…
Using geometric mechanics methods, we examine aspects of the dynamics of n mass points in $\mathbb{R}^4$ with a general pairwise potential. We investigate the central force problem, set up the n-body problem and discuss certain properties…
The global rotational degrees of freedom in the Schr\"{o}dinger equation for an $N$-body system are completely separated from the internal ones. After removing the motion of center of mass, we find a complete set of $(2\ell+1)$ independent…
We employ generalized Euler coordinates for the $n$ body system in $d \geq n-1$ dimensional space, which consists of the centre-of-mass vector, relative (mutual), mass-independent distances $r_{ij}$ and angles as remaining coordinates. We…
Let a number, N, of particles interact classically through Newton's Laws of Motion and Newton's inverse square Law of Gravitation. The resulting equations of motion provide an approximate mathematical model with numerous applications in…
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…
We consider two ways of introducing minimal Abelian gauge interactions into the model presented in [1]. They are different only if the second central charge of the planar Galilei group is nonzero. One way leads to standard gauge…
We consider the reduced two-body problem with a central potential on the sphere ${\bf S}^{2}$ and the hyperbolic plane ${\bf H}^{2}$. For two potentials different from the Newton and the oscillator ones we prove the nonexistence of an…
