To describe the ``slow'' motions of n interacting mass points, we give the most general 4-d non-instantaneous, non-particle symmetric Galilei-invariant variational principle. It involves two-body invariants constructed from particle…

In this paper we describe optimal reduction for the system of two bodies in $\mathbb{R}^3$ whose Hamiltonian is invariant under rotations and translations. In doing this, we introduce parametrizations and charts which help giving explicit…

Using a recently introduced method [Phys.\ Rev.\ Lett.\ {\bf 123}, 231104 (2019)], which splits the conservative dynamics of gravitationally interacting binary systems into a non-local-in-time part and a local-in-time one, we compute the…

We present a new approach to describe the dynamics of an isolated, gravitationally bound astronomical $N$-body system in the weak field and slow-motion approximation of the general theory of relativity. Celestial bodies are described using…

We revisit the dynamics of the post-Newtonian (PN) two-body problem for two inspiraling compact bodies. Starting from a matter-only reduced Hamiltonian, we present an adapted framework based on the Lie series approach, enabling the…

We analyze the dynamical equations obeyed by a classical system with position-dependent mass. It is shown that there is a non-conservative force quadratic in the velocity associated to the variable mass. We construct the Lagrangian and the…

In the Wigner-covariant rest-frame instant form of dynamics it is possible to develop a relativistic kinematics for the N-body problem. The Wigner hyperplanes define the intrinsic rest frame and realize the separation of the center-of-mass.…
